A terrible thing happened today.

Today I went to get magazines and I figured I would give the 9 Magazine one more chance. After the last one I bought I swore the magazine off. Very few articles of no interest to me and a lot of bad spelling. I thought it was a monthly magazine. I now have 2 of the same bad issue which caused me to swear the magazine off. What a waist of $7.98.

Im sorry by now everyone should be aware that the magazine is not good ,the spelling part I can understand Im terrible too but the contents plain simple sucks.

And before anyone jumps that is a new magazine take a look at
Modified Magazine two issues and it runs circles around this 9 thing. maybe they have a dream but up to now is a bad dream.
just my 0.02

The current issue was a freebie at the Phoenix Flight last weekend. I feel like it was worth every penny. A magazine has to be have value in its content. There was none.

There's no way 9 magazine will last very long in its current form. I could list all the reasons, but it's been discussed in depth here before. Getting a magazine off the ground is a major feat. Unless something changes drastically and quickly, I predict it will crash and burn in short order.

When I read your subject title I expected to read a heart-wrenching story of your SC being totalled or something similar. $8.00 doesn't really fall into the "terrible" category, does it?

Yep, me too....I thought we would hear a sad tale of 911 carnage, like maybe you were caught on the 710 fwy (SoCal) at the wrong time...

I should not have used the work terrible. Maybe frustrating is a better word. I think everyone on this board is willing to give any magazine having to do with Porsche's many try's. I think the producer of this magazine is taking advantage of this loyalty by not putting the effort into producing the magazine. At least use the spell check on the computer.
And no, I am not kidding about the $7.98. I could have bought an oil filter.

OK, take it easy on Drew. He's not claiming to be a magazine publisher. "Waist" could slip through a spell check, and "try's" is a common slip. The point is, a magazine should be held to a higher standard.

I guess I was lucky to not buy the magazine.

I do not know about you guys, but spelling.....come on! If the editor can't get it right, why bother with the product. Would you bother hiring somebody if the resume has spelling?



Thanks for the input. I was looking into subscribing to the magazine last week.....but I guess NOT......!!!!

You may have wasted $7.98, but at least you didn't subscribe for $19.97! You saved $11.99.
