    Im amazed at the amount of knowledge on here. From building cars to seeing new places and making friends, this place is huge. I remember being totally bored at work on a saturday years ago and seeing the Hamb only moving about a page a day, yesterday I didnt see the hamb for most of the day and had to skim through 6 pages to get back to where I had left off.Thats progress.... and the Alliance, man dont even get me started on the money Ive saved , that plan is pure genius. Thanks.

    The HAMB changed my life and I feel I'm a better human being because of it. Thank you Ryan and happy birthday Jalopy Journal!
     
  5. 15 years....Jeez, it must have been just after Al Gore invented the internet :rolleyes:

    Seriously tho.....Congrats on a great achievement, the knowledge & info & art available on her is just amazing.
     
  6. I am relatively new to the JJ but I keep checking the site every day and there is always something that gets me reading and thinking and pondering several 'what if..' threads in my head.
    Untill my wife starts to get annoyed that I'm already an hour watching that darned screen
    You started something great Ryan, congrats and keep up the good work !!!!

    I started doing the same thing at the same time. It's great to have your baby grow and keep going after all these years. But you need more animated gifs, midi music, blinking text, and under construction icons.

    Congrats on 15 years!:D

    From the influence of Skot, and reading the posts here, I woke up my long time dream of building a hot rod. Because of the posts and information I have found here, I bought a project and am getting few steps closer, Thanks.

    Now I am wondering where all my money is going, what it is I need to learn and who to send the bill to!;)

    Ryan, you done good with this place and keep it up.

    Thanks Ryan. My life would be a bit less fulfilled if it were not for this place. I have met some great people so far and learned far more then I ever hope to know about Hot Rods & Customs.

    Congrats and thanks, Boss. I remember first lurking around '00 or so and feeling intimidated. Mostly because I thought...well now I know...that my "aspect" wasn't where it could be. Years later, I think the motto should also be "The H.A.M.B., keeping you on the straight and narrow since '95". I'm glad you've done this for us...cause it really feels like it's truely "ours" (the hotrodder). Looking forward to more get-togethers and events to meet and share this blessing.


    Thanks again,
    Brian

    This guy lives in my head, and probably doesn't even know it! My experience is almost EXACTLY his.

    <p>The exception is, I've been around the JJ off and on since sometime in '98. Hooked at this point, probably for good. Thanks Ryan. Good job, many happy returns!
     
  26. Ryan, I can't really much that hasn't already been said. THANKS! This place will probably get me fired from my job one day!

    Ryan , thanks for starting up the HAMB and HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN ! :D
    What else would I do if the HAMB wasn't here ? :(
     
  28. Ryan thanks for everything...wish I had found this place long before I did...of course I would probably be divorced by now as I tend to zone out any background noise when I am here...congrats on the best site on the net...next year we should have a sweet 16 bash
     
  29. Many salutations Ryan, I look forward to many more years with you, this site and the events and people who make it all a family and a culture...you/we, are all truly BLESSED! Happy 15th.....Rust~
