John McGann is the Editor-in-Chief of Hot Rod magazine. A voracious reader of car magazines and lover of all things automotive, he set out to learn as much as he could about cars. An automotive technology program provided the foundation, while fumbling around with large American sedans provided real world experience. Finally, a Bachelor of Science degree in photojournalism provided the focus. John accepted a five-month photography internship at Motor Trend magazine in 2003 and upon completion, he remained with the publishing company, managing a photo studio for 18 months before becoming photo editor for HOT ROD and Car Craft magazine. He eventually became editor of Car Craft in 2014 and retained that position until March 2018 when he moved to HOT ROD as Executive Editor. He was promoted to Editor-in-Chief of HOT ROD in April 2019.

Congratulation John you ran another magazine into the ground. You ran car craft in the ground, one of my favorite magazines, Your articles suck, and you use the magazines like they were your face book page. I for one don’t want to see your goofy face in any magazine. The Pro street edition of hot rod is so terrible I will not renew my subscription. There was not any mention about the engines in the car, or transmissions, or the rear ends. You have turned hot rod into a picture book, with no technical information. You’re just a goofball poser.
