I suspect many of us here grew up on Popular Science magazines, "back in the day". This column, Gus's Garage, was something that taught me a lot abot diagnosis in particular, and common sense too. Today's magazines are filled with crap that promotes some product or another, no real knowledge. I feel sorry for today's youth...
This site has the original columns going back into the '20's, including a reader survey on what kind of car to buy for under $2,000. Among the contenders: Essex, Nash, Chevrolet, Ford, and a used Cadillac. Interesting reading, especially the service-it-yourself features of the Nash!

You just never saw the silver ball pitched in a science magazine despite it being a wonderful collaboration between engineeering and art. Some are right up there with the Rolls Royce Silver Ghost :)
