Face it – 2025 is coming to a close, and it seems to be ceasing more quickly than not. Weird how that works out. But, that said, I am aiming to have a few buyer’s guides to help you plan for the gift-giving season and maybe pick up something special for yourself. With that in mind, and completely opening the door to what’s coming, Rick Rader offers his thoughts on buying and collecting wristwatches. We all seem to love them, so I’m going to create a buyer’s guide for a variety of lesser-known brands that cater to our motoring tastes. Also in this issue, check out Howard Koby’s tale of his Karmann-Ghia, a charming story that most car guys can relate to. And, building on that, we take a trip back to Issue 4 from Spring of 2008 and visit the garage of Bob Cropsey, who’s taken a smaller garage and made it a place for all-things VW. Enjoy!
Thanks for stopping by!
