EDITOR’S CORNER

Generating New Year’s resolutions are one of those expected things to do at the beginning of a new year (clever titling...). Well for me this is really a chore. Every year I resolve to get this task done or that project completed only to end the year with nothing really accomplished. Is it the end of the year already? Where did the time go?
I could blame the lack of completing that repair project during the winter on the ‘garage is too cold to work’ excuse or maybe ‘the repair part didn’t arrive in time and I got involved in some other necessary function’ like taking the wife out to find a new pair of shoes for a holiday event.

Maybe my resolutions are slanted in the wrong direction. I think this year my resolutions are going to be to spend more driving with the top down (maybe even in the rain like Ric Maitzen in his TD) or to take part in more club events.

Maybe even get adventurous and to an Autocross or two. Maybe one of your resolutions could be to take a more active part in club operations or sign up to sponsor a club outing…now that would be cool!

See you on the road…
