Default new year

We are starting a new year, I would like so say how grateful I am for this Forum and all the Great Members. You can have all the talent in the world but without the right information it's worthless. I knew basically very little about the C 5 before coming to this Forum. Granted I read everything I can about cars in general, but hands on info can be worth so much more. I have made many friends here and want to make more and to say sorry to the ones I may have rubbed the wrong way !!! May this be a truly Great Year for all of us !!!

Default Happy New Year my friend

ED,
Its Hard to believe so many years have gone by, so many members have come and gone..I hope 2017 will be blessed, safe, and rewarding for you, Carole and the pups

Now if you could get that rubbing people the wrong way, under control you could be someone people will warm up to. God bless you my friend.

Happy New Year, Bill! Give my best to Annie and the rest of the family.

But let's not lose that Evil Twin persona here! We still desperately need him!

You know ED its very hard to keep that guy going.. I've had that screen name since 1991. When I bought my Twin Turbo Dodge Stealth, in protest to Lee Iacocca's New 1 billion dollar Engineering design center . When I drove it into the GM parking lot where you will only find GM cars. I was recognized as a true rebel. my colleagues came out to see it, and one of them told me it was my Evil Twin...I laughed and took it as my screen name. I never got any flack from anyone for bring it to work, but it was a real statement. Actually there were other non GM cars on the lot, I was not the only rebel.
When I bought the C5 Annie said Oh another red sports car.

Happy New Year back to all of you, and of course to all forum members. Its hard to believe 2016 is already in the rear view mirror. Was it not gone in the blink of an eye? Each year seems to pass by faster than the last and I have more friends that have passed than those still here. Sobering thought but I'm looking forward to the best 2017 has to offer for all of us! Please, all take good care and be safe! Sincerely Mike P.

I guess its because each new year represents a smaller percentage of our overall life experience. Seems to be but a blur these days, I sure as hell wish it would slow down! Best wishes!
