Auto Trends Magazine

14 years later and I’m signing off…

It has been a fantastic run at Auto Trends Magazine. After launching the site in April 2008, then actively and continuously building it out, I am turning it over to new owners this month.

I’m stepping away from a site that connected many of you with me online and in person. I’ve enjoyed our many visits, including your thoughts and perspectives. Some of you have far greater knowledge than I do in all matters of diagnosis, so I have benefited from your input.

I’ll allow the new ownership team to make an introduction when appropriate. The good news is that they are active in the automotive knowledge base sector and that was a priority I had when making a sale.

Although I won’t be directly involved in Auto Trends soon, I’ll submit an occasional new vehicle review as before. Further, I own DrivenAutos.com and will continue to contribute and build out that site. So, going away doesn’t mean I’ll disappear.

Please support the new ownership team as they press forward. Meanwhile, may your journey involve clear skies and thrilling drives.
