    I recycle them. It's the moral thing to do, nothing so easily recyclable should go in the trash. Like all periodicals, once the information gets old it's of little use.

      I like to discover things like this, same VIN several years apart. Someone could have typed in the wrong VIN, but who knows. They always seem to gain horsepower rather than lose it.

        I keep them all like Robert Gallagher and sometimes you find some very interesting things.

            I keep them just to hear my wife say, why are you keeping something you will never read again?

                The Drive Line we look at the meets and registration. We don't look at the ads. After the next one comes out it goes in recycle. But the Restorer I read all the 53 to 69 articles.

I believe if you have gained all the info needed from them why save/hoard them; they take up space and if I need additional info I go to the thread.
                  I throroughly enjoy each Driveline, then bring them to work for some other non-Corvette car guys to peruse. Otherwise, the stack of old ones would take up valuable space that could otherwise be used for parts at home

                      FWIW, I don't "save them" so much as I don't throw them away. They are neatly stacked in my garage and rarely do I go back through them. Probably time to recycle.

                          I save the driveline. I don't have a full colection of them, but I save them non-the-less. Why (as many have asked in the discussions above)? Its all part of NCRS history and Nostalgia of the whole corvette culture. Drive down the road today and look at the cars coming off the production lines and you wish for the times of past.

                          I have a full collection of the restorer "magazine" series since the beginning. Included in that collection is the full set of materials that came in the mail with the restorer, for which the "driveline" was no more than one or a few sheets of paper with cars and parts for sale, typed up on a typewriter, copied and sent out to only a few hundred members. That was the
                          "driveline" at the beginning. The judging events were "advertised" with a pamphlet (or leaflet) of the hotel and perhaps a flyer or two on local things to do and see. Very sparse compared to today with the large spread of information we see on the national events in the present driveline.
