We're all a little more mellow at Christmas time....even us God*-forsaken atheists.
The season moves me to reminisce a bit, if you'll permit.
My personal Corvette journey is a bizzare one that has included daily-driving in the late-1960's and early-1970's, slalom (gymkhana), drag and high-speed road-course racing in the 1960's, 1970's and early 1980's, complete dis-interest from the mid-1980's until about five years ago, and then a total body-off hotrod project most recently - all with the same car.
Strangely enough, it turns out that the person who re-ignited my interest in the car, my teenage son, has no real interest at all....but that's another story; one that I promise to share some day.
The common factor, as always, is the great Corvette people. I don't know if Corvette people are any better or any worse than other hobbyists. I do know, however, that I've never felt the need to find out. Corvettes are again my passion.......just like they're yours. I've met so many wonderful Corvette folks during the last 37 years that I wouldn't know where to begin in naming them......so I won't try. Club events, national conventions, racing, Carlisle, and now the online world - full of great Corvette people. It's all been a blast.
I would like to join with so many of you in thanking
Rob for this wonderful place. Yes, there are other forums; some with more members; but
CAC is something special, isn't it. It's been said before, about
CAC, "quality not quantity". Double amen to that.
Where to now? Well, I have four Corvette-related goals for 2005:
1)
drive 67HEAVEN to
CruiseFest in Bowling Green in June (23 hour round trip - no trailer)
2)
drive 67HEAVEN to Carlisle in August (18 hour round trip - no trailer)
3) offer whatever assistance I can in keeping CAC the quality place that it is
4) get to know even more of you
I consider it a privilege to be a member of the staff here at
, and sincerely wish you all a belated-Happy Hannukah, a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
A present
for you

) is the best! That is because of the people, like you & Tom & others, who moderate it and even more so the people who participate. I have never seen a forum of any kind where the people were so giving of their knowledge and time and so patiently willing to assist others. The members set a very high standard of excellence that is a credit to the hobby. I will be sorry when my project is done as I'm sure my participation will diminish... but then there is always another project just around the corner. I learned that here too. Best regards to everyone here and best wishes for a happy, prosperous and peaceful New Year.
