same here.
other car magazines:
Intersection - less about cars, more about fashion
Banzai or Modified or Import Tuner - crap 90% of the time, I only pick one up if there's a really cool RX-7 or Skyline GT-R feature.
Macworld sucks, however the Macworld UK edition somehow has the same content, but has prettier pictures and layout, and op/ed columns. I don't why Macworld got rid of them.
T3 - all the newest gagdets.

MacAddict! I may let my MW subscription lapse.
And a nerdy research journal in my field that I get kinda giddy about every time it arrives.

Re: Magazines
Personally, I'm a fan of STEP and Ad Busters.
Oddly enough, I haven't read MacAddict in a while.

Mopar Action
Popular Science
Steam Traction Magazine (steam engine, steam traction engine collector's mag)
Belt Pulley (a farm tractor collector's mag)
Red Power (an IHC collector's mag)
Gas Engine Magazine (antique gas engine collector's mag)
Farm Collector (general farm collector's mag)
Farm Show
Sucessful Farming
Wisconsin Agriculturalist
Hoard's Dairyman
Small Farm
And a huge pile of gardening magazines that my mom gets.

Re: Magazines
I currently subscribe to:
Scientific American
Consumer Reports
The Planetary Report (The Planetary Society's magazine)
I let my MacWorld subscription lapse, and I've bought a couple of issues of MacAddict off the rack, but no subscription. In the past, I've subscribed to more periodicals, but wasn't getting around to reading them most of the time 
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Re: Magazines
MacAddict and National Geographic. I buy Wired off the newstands -- I've been reading it for years, but for some reason have never subscribed to it.

Re: Magazines
I used to subscribe to lots of magazines, but now I pretty much just read everything online.
I do have a free subscription to Reader's Digest and I usually steal my sister's copies of Bust after she's done with them.
