SOME day, I will go there. Garage Current. I will!

It’s almost a mantra at this point.

I will. I must. I’m destined!

The sheer quality, caliber, and quantity of really excellent examples of near-classic German cars is just too potent, too fabulous for so ardent an enthusiast like yours truly to ignore.

A roundtrip ticket to Yokohama to visit Garage Current then? Well, if the thought had occurred to me earlier last October, I would’ve made the pilgrimage when I was touring Tokyo.

Woulda, shoulda, coulda. Next time ’round.

Only trouble is… Once you’ve collected all these Teutonic toys, you could only drive them one at a time.
