Default This Time Last Year

I just noticed I’ve been a member since 10/16/04. I had a birthday and forgot all about it.
Actually it was this time last year that I starting pursuing the purchase of my first vette. I accomplished that Jan 22nd 2005. Hopefully I’ll never forget that one! That’s also my bride’s birthday.

Hopefully you won't forget that day, the two things you have the most passion for.

Yes – and not to rub it in but she took me to Hawaii on my 30th birthday. What have I done to deserve this kind of treatment??
