A thank you for the forum!

[bonneyman]

With it being the holidays and all, I've been thinking about things I'm grateful for. And GJ came up.
There are very few places where you can go to learn new things, pass on what you know, and have a great time doing it. And this site is one of them!
I just wanted to thank the members and staff here at Garage Journal for making this an informative, helpful, and enjoyable site.

And while I'm at it, everybody have a Merry Christmas.
B-man

That's right. A big thanks to this forum end everybody here. Even though you cost me lots of money on tools I 'need'.

 

[NJHandyGuy]

Agreed i love this place. The info is priceless and the laughs can brighten up any day.

Haha, yes. I buy only the tools I "need". I have to have 60 ratchets, just to make sure that I have the best one!

That sounds like me!

I will second that and a Happy New year and merry X-mas to everyone.

 

[bczygan]

My wife asks "Are you on that website again?"...............duh, yes I am sweetie!

Lots to learn from the widely varied experience of all the people on here, and a few laughs as well.

All you guys that just lurk and don't post.......come on!

 

[kc-steve]

He-he, yeah after 40 years or so of barely knowing what tools I have, often buying duplicates, now I am well on my way to becoming a "tool polisher" like most of the guys here.

[Davefr]

I couldn't agree more. Great forum and members!!

Have a safe and Merry Christmas.

 

[regguy1]

That sounds like me!

My Snap-On Guy had the best line when I'd say "I don't need that".... he'd always come back with..."but sometimes you just want it"

Hey I only polish my expensive tools!

 

[ajchien]

I agree, thank you GJ. Without you, I'd be buying all HF. Instead, I shop CL, estate sales, and flea markets for old tools!

And I really don't think we have many flame wars here, compared to other forums and websites. Kudos to the members and mods!

 

[Rickster55]

Well said ajchien, well said. Probably one of the things that has kept me here is the absense of flame wars. That and some awesome knowledge and great garages!

Merry Christmas all!

 

[ambenz]

Out of all the tools I own, my laptop and GJ has to be right up there with the tool I use most often!
Thank's to whoever thought this place up and to all the Administrators for policeing one cool site!

 

[Bull]

Ah, finally some good vibes! Thanks to all, and Merry Christmas to all.

(If you don't celebrate Christmas, it's ok. I do, and I am just extending the good spirit that comes with it to everyone.)

 

[route246]

This place has cost me a ton of money. Thanks a lot for that! All kidding aside, yes, it is the best place around to get a quick answer on CL and Ebay listings, etc.

[Travo131]

This forum is a really cool place. Its nice to find a place where you can ask and find out so much information. Happy Holidays guys.


P.S I think I will be on here all day on Christmas day watching the secret santa gifts lol. Next year I am in for sure.

 

[crewchief888]

I agree, thank you GJ.

Merry Christmas all!

this is one of the few forums/ message boards that is pretty flameproof.

thanks to the admin and moderators

 

[Bull]

Sometimes, we miss stuff, though, until it has gone on for too long. PM a mod/admin if you see the fires of a flamewar!

[lowbucktruck]

Ditto... thanks for GarageJournal forum. Much appreciated. I visit this site now almost daily. (I was relieved to discover I wasn't the only one with a tool addition)

 

[dodge610]

Yes Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone

 

[SpeedCoach]

I frequent a few forums and this is by far the most civil (we slip sometimes - but who doesnt). Someone earlier mentioned their wife commenting on the site.....Mine often asks "how are the garage guys?", or "when you're done oogling the garages can you _______." Cant imagine why she asks that :

i wish everyone a merry christmas and a healthy new year.

 

[sselander]

some more popcorn please ...

the place is addictive, Merry Christmas / happy holidays all.

 

[slip knot]

Yes my tool budget is much increased due to this place. Yes I have a better appreciation of quality tools. Yes I will keep coming back.

Wish everyone has a Merry Christmas and a happy, safe and properous new year
