| Putting out a magazine involves much more than simply sitting in front of a computer screen, banging out words and gathering stories; it also involves a lot of face-to-face interaction with our contributors, readers and persons of interest. Not only is "the truth out there," but also the multitasking staff of AUTO Aficionado (we do seem to get around). As our publisher, James Lopez, noted in the November/December 2007 issue, "a picture is worth a thousand words," especially here at AUTO Af. As such, we have created this new "Out and About" website section, which highlights our various interactions with the people we meet during our many outings. We hope to see you out there. |

| The Monterey Historics week was a busy one for the staff of AUTO Aficionado, just as it was for all the participants, vendors and attendees. We managed to hit nearly every event during those hectic August days, as the following images attest. |
