Thank you

Echoing Curtis's post.  "Tanto amore".  Joined up a few years ago, after a major surgery.  This site has since brought countless hours of reading and enjoyment.  A tip of the hat to everyone involved, and thank you  GRM for bringing it to us.

I very thankful for this forum and the magazine over the years. The knowledge and attitude on this forum is so special. Please keep us posted on how we can support. 

Also, can you post how we can support the forum here? The other thread is so long, it's a bit intimidating.

It's in the first post in this thread: https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/whats-with-all-these-forum-supporter-tags/170724/page1/

Thanks for being a great site.  I have learned and figured out so may things much quicker than I could anywhere else. Happy to support you and this site!

What we did not plan on was the outpouring of support, both emotional and financial, from this board. I wake up every morning thinking, "I have to post something to express my thankfulness and appreciation," then I don't because I just don't have the words. And anyone who knows me knows I have a LOT of words. (The best words.) All I can say is that we will work hard to be worthy of it, though I doubt it's possible.

 

Margie, all I can say is what I did when I started working corners in the late '80s. It was cool when the drivers would thank us for coming out to work, but my reply was always the same.

"Wouldn't be here if there wasn't something to watch."

First time I ever saw y'all, it was just you & Tim with a canopy and a table at an SCCA Club Race at Road Atlanta in the late '80s. A few copies of "Auto-X" spread out for folks to look at. I'd seen a couple of copies already (there was a buzz in SEDIV SCCA about 'this new magazine about *us* instead of exotic sports cars'), and was impressed the two of you had made the trip. A few of us subscribed. "Man, I hope they get away with this..", I said. Don't recall the exact year, but y'all were in the red Civic project car. Maybe '87 or '88?

Regards to Tim, Tom & Nicole (how'd he ever trick her into it? :D ), and Katie. And of course to the rest of the staff.

Don't "..doubt it's possible..". Y'all have already done it. You'll do it again.

Thanks for decades of good reading. I first read AutoX  in 1986? It was on the rack of a couple of book stores that I frequented. I did not subscribe at the time due to poverty. Luckily those book stores were very liberal with their browsing limits. I bought probably every other or every third issue but managed to read every issue cover to cover. By 89 or 90 I was a subscriber.   

 This forum has been educational, inspiring, insightful,  rib splitting  funny and home to some of the finest people on Earth(even though I have only met a few of them  face to face).

Count on my support  until I slip this mortal coil.

This forum has the best culture of any car forum, and probably any semi-anonymous forum, that I've ever seen.  This is in contrast to another car board (specific to a make that JG influenced me to buy...) whose bickering and nastiness have made me flee.  There's a bunch of good people here, helpful and cooperative and caring, and I'm sure that's due in no small part to the folks guiding the tenor of the dialog.

I'm curious about supporting GRM.  I've been a subscriber for a lot of years and assumed that's all there is to supporting their enterprise.  Am I missing something?

Yes to all of this. The community here is small but mighty!

I will never forget the time my car broke down in the middle of Michigan, and I was stranded in the back parking lot of some place with a violent fuel leak, and Kevin (fidelity101) hooked me up with the number of a friend of his who happened to live like 2 blocks away from where the car died, and after we dragged my E36 M3 to his house and I fixed it on the side of the road, and he showed me the project cars he was working on, I was getting ready to leave so I went to wash my hands in his bathroom... and there was a foot high stack of GRM on the toilet tank.

Not everybody who is GRM is on the forum but everyone GRM is awesome.

I did the Patreon thing. Hopefully everyone makes it through alright. 

Got my "stimulus" order in the mail with a very nice letter.  Thanks GRM, I love this place. 
 

Thanks again for all of the support, and enjoy the gear in good health.

Oh sure everyone else gets the hugs and kisses, but I led you down a dark, horror-filled path. 

It was the Promaster City people, wasn't it? Those people are crazy.

I received mine yesterday too!

Very nice note, and the T-shirt is by far the most comfortable one I now own.  Great job on those!

You inspired me to order my own stimulus package.  A Tshirt and some stickers are on the way, but I told them no rush.

Mine showed up today, I happened to be wearing a challenge shirt when I opened it...

No rush?  Why do you hate Canada?

No he hates Crowbar
