Poncho Perfection
Volume 2, Number 1 January 2016.
Good job with the mag Don & staff. It reminds me of the old days before the Internet, when I looked forward to the next HPP to arrive in the mailbox. I don't miss the Buick and GM adds either, as seen in the other Pontiac publication. The thick glossy paper with REAL PONTIAC content combine for a good read! I hope this publication is able to survive and thrive in the future, thanks.

Is there a way to subscribe to the printed version, or is the only option to buy individual issues for $9.99 each? The website seems to indicate the latter.

I recall Don saying he hopes to be able to offer a paper subscription in the future. At this point I plan on going monthly as long as it takes. Hopefully he gets the support to make it happen. It can't be cheap to produce the thick glossy version, otherwise every mag would have this quality. I'd hate to get another discontinue notice, like the one from Hotrod.
