John is going home! Great news!
I wanted to thank him for helping fix my car today.

An old post but it did the trick!
Thanks John!

Great to hear you are coming home, John. Try to limit the burnouts on the wheelchair ramp.

JohnZ,

I trust that you are enjoying your first Friday night at home this year.

Thank you for all the help given us, before our hectic weekends in the past, when we needed that last bit of advice to set us straight.

John is definitely a keeper.

John always talked up and never down to people.. You are a classic John. Fight on.

I bet he's happy to be home at long last! I'm looking forward to seeing him online again and continuing his journey to making us all a lot "Corvette smarter".
