Source Interlink's stock closed at $0.24 yesterday. Turbo was canned last month and Sport Compact Car yesterday, laying off 115 employees. The future doesn't look so good for corporately owned magazines.

This sucks donkey dick...
I subscribe to Sport Compact Car for 7 years. It was such a great magazine, loads of tech articles. No show shit.

Dude, demand stock in the company. With what it's worh right now, y ou would own a fat portion of stock with what they would have to pay you back. Then when it goes up...Yay..And then I woke up...from my dream.

Too bad to see those magazines fold. But it's just another victim in the long road that is our economy.
