Thank you Ryan (and family) for all your work and dedication on our behalf. I only wish I were as fouth as talented as many of the builders and artists that regularly contribute to this site. And here's to freedom of speech...while we still have it!
Of course a thanks to Ryan for starting the whole thing, but thanks to all the supporting members that add all the great info..
I've never known anyone successful in this business that wasn't totally obsessed and passionate about their business. It takes total dedication to be truly at the top of the ladder, and you sure seem to fit that description. Congrats from an Old Fart.
Yep, like the fellas said, this place is awesome and I consider myself lucky to be a part of it. Thanks a ton for your vision and seeing it through. I've helped, been helped, laughed with and at, cried and prayed for folks, etc, etc.... Like Moriarity said, it makes the world a small place.
My Dad always said "Anything worth doing is worth doing right".... I think you've done just that....Congratulations on another milestone.
Thanks to you Ryan & all the members that make the Journal what it is. I do not get as much HAMB time as I would like sometimes but I am always entertained & educated!
You passion has clearly connected with so many of us who spent some of our most enjoyed hours of the day on here. Thanks, and all the best for the future. Al
Does this mean the HAMB/J.J. is going to get a shop car for it's 16th Bday? Think about it...that could be really cool for 2009!
Yes what everyone else said! This palace is so great & I too could not imagine life w/o it. Thanks Ryan.
I dunno, I heard that dorks and losers are on the internet . . . . wow, I can't believe it's been 15 years. I remember lurking and seeing the incredible amount of flaming and harassment that went on and being reluctant to join. Glad I did though.
I don't know how you do it, Ryan... but I'm thankful that you do. Congrats on another big milestone, man.
Anyway, as already said a thousand times, great job and thanks! My only regret is not finding this place sooner and signing up way before I did. It is horribly addictive though, so maybe better that I hadn't.
Thanks Ryan! YOU GAVE US, a place to bitch, learn, show-off, buy, and sell. Hats off to you for living your dream.
my wife hates the time I spend on here but the resulting products from the ideas and friendships I have made make it worth it in her eyes, in my eyes, well Ryan "You are like Jesus, meaning you stolen God's hot rod, drove it to the prom we got silly in it with some girls we found in the movie theatre." I love this site, the people on it and the hot rod community!
wow I just left a job of 15 years...... with a number of hours on here over a whole lot of years, thanks Ryan for creating this place and thanks to my former employer and their high speed internet
Thanks for creating this "way of life" for so many of us to enjoy, Ryan. Your vision is extraordinary. Scott
