Editorial Profile: This magazine is the hobby's top gun. Hot Rod was the first and is still the biggest. Of course, everything is a tradeoff; because they have to cover so much, sometimes the coverage feels thin and superficial. They are also driven to report on the cutting edge of hot rodding, which is interesting reading but often financially out of reach for Joe Average. The most recent editor has tried to tone this down some but it is still the closest thing to Forbes for gearheads on the magazine rack. But for high-tech features and state-of-the-art street machines, no one comes close to Hot Rod. They also have extensive street rod coverage, and in the past they have dabbled in motorcycles, pro streeters, and of course the infamous Van Era.
