Auto Week

Unemployment has allowed me the opportunity today to find out why I receive a subscription to Auto Week. I've been living the automotive life now for roughly three long years, with next month my subscription finally ending. So I have a very small window of time to find out how I got the subscription in the first place since I'm not the type of person to pay to subscribe to an auto weekly magazine. Just aint my thing.
For awhile I assumed it was bundled with some other magazine I get but I dont get any other magazines. The magazines' I do get our gifted to me so it is possible somebody else is in fact paying for this magazine to be delivered every week to my house for the last 75 weeks or so. With only one single issue read by me during that time about the future of the VW R32. The remaining issues wasted unneccesssary amounts of paper/ink/manpower in order to be properly escorted to my mailbox. They even found me after every move.
So my last issue has a big yellow paper wrapped around the cover. It reads "Caution Your subscription expires next month". I immediately scream with joy. Then I immediately realize that means I will have little time to figure out why I got the magazine. For all those times I wanted to know. All those times I openend my mailbox after a hard days work or partial hard days work, and saw that magazine staring me back in the face. Now I finally have the time to finally track down those people who started this whole charrade. Thank you unemployment.
So I began with inspecting the renewal notice for a 1 800 number. Oh how I longed for some crazy auto junkie trapped in some phone booth in detroit to give me shit for calling to find out the truth under the surmise I wanted to renew for one year at a ungodly rate of 29.99
I could tell them to go fuck themselves for offering up such a crappy magazine though it really wasnt a bad mag. I did really want to ask them how it was they even offered a printed version. Seriously how do magazines exist nowadays? The problem was their was no 1 800 number. I looked everywhere. I guess I wasn't the only one trying to figure out magazines existence in modern day life. Maybe they begrudglingly give out random subscriptions for three years in hopes I become a lifelong subscriber? Oh how the world turns. More twists than the new jersey turnpike.
Suddenly! I found an address. So I googled it. I found they also had a website. Appears they might have a following. I go to the site in search of a number but I find nothing. Im not impressed. I lose interest and stop the search. The dregs of unemployment drag on. If somebody renews that subscription behind my back in hopes I really do care about the new Zele Nissan 370z I will hunt them down and get them a subscription to Teen Beat or Hunters Digest. Seriously, Three years? Is it possible somebody else would pay for your subscription to autoweek for that long?

The reason for this.
