As we're all preparing for Christmas vacations, wrapping gifts and traveling here and there, I just wanted to drop a quick note in here for all of our current members:
First off, please be careful during the holidays. It's always crazy on the roads right now - people are in a hurry, preoccupied with what they're going to buy, some are traveling home from Christmas parties after too much to drink, and the weather at this time of year doesn't help at all... Please look out for each other and come home safely.
Second, don't forget to remember the sentiments behind the holiday season. Even if you don't celebrate Christmas, it's a good time of year to reflect on our blessings. We spend all year scratching and clawing, trying to get ahead. Many of you have been hammered by the economy, and we've seen good people lose their homes, their jobs, their cars, etc. because of it. Even after all that, we're still very fortunate to have what we have, and I hope each of you takes a minute to give thanks for that. We're gonna be ok - Things can only get better.
Third, I want to thank all of you here on the forums for an exciting and entertaining 2010. We accomplished a lot this year, hosting our first standalone national meet, moving the entire site to a new platform, a new hosting company and new software, we added forums for several new offerings from Nissan and Infiniti, and we saw some impressive growth and expansion.
Lastly - I hope you've all enjoyed the stuff we do here as much as I do. Becky and I are truly blessed to be the captains of this ship, and we enjoy getting to know people from all over the world through our shared love of cars. We've shared a lot of laughs, fought and gotten mad, helped each other out, learned some tough lessons, and we've continued to build a strong community. I get a lot of emails from new members, and people in the automotive industry, and I hear nothing but good things about the members here - how active the forums are, how helpful we've been, and how eager you guys are to assist new people.
If you haven't already done it, I hope you'll all take a moment to tell us about your project, help someone out who's lost, or invite a friend to stop in and see what we do here. Stay tuned - There's always something new and exciting happening.
We appreciate all of you, and we're looking forward to stepping it up a notch in 2011.
Blessings and Best Wishes to all of you.
