Am I that intimidating?
Thanks for the all the props (well most of them). Who is this M2 guy? He sounds scary.
I appreciate all of you who come up to me at shows and share your enthusiasm for what we do and passion for your cars. Orlando was a great event and I met a lot of new people as well as reconnecting with some old friends as well!
We will be at Toyotafest this weekend in Long Beach if any of you are in the area.
And please approach me and say "hi". I know I look grouchy but that's the way us old people are....LOL Seriously, I enjoy talking to you guys and getting to know you. You make us who we are through your support and feedback. So if I don't know what you want/like, we can't make it for you!
Okay, look forward to seeing some of you this weekend or in a few months in Nor Cal.
Son (Wes) you make your Papa proud. You are such a good boy.
