The Jalopy Journal is 15...

Ryan - You've been a big influence on me, too. You trusted that there was something special waiting out here for you and took the leap. I followed a couple years after you into the unknown. Turns out, the biggest unknown was how much fun I'd have living my dream - with a LOT of help from the HAMB. Thanks is too small a word - but it goes out to each of you...
Happy 15th,
Scotty

PS: It takes me several weeks to complete a feature story (I'm usually juggling a few at once) - Ryan puts out a world class feature on the Journal every DAY, plus runs this show for us! Think about that...

 

Congratulations,and thank you,Ryan. The Jalopy Journal is "pure class".

 

I met Rashy and Tyler because of this place........they are so dreamy.

 

Thanks for a great place Ryan. Long live the HAMB!!!

 

Many thanks. A daily visit is minimum.

 

Thanks Ryan

 

Happy birthday J. J.......and thanks Ryan for making me stop that gosh darn lurking.

I don't think any of us can really thank you enough. I've been inspired by many people on this site, I've made some friends from this site, and I've laughed my ass off with this site. It's one of only 3 websites I frequent, thanks again for starting this mega fuckin sweet site.

 

Time flys when you are having fun.

 

Thanks for building the best site on the WWW. It's amazing what you have built here. I hope in these economic hard times this place will continue to grow.

 

Congratulations and thank you for fifteen years of service to your fellow hot rodders! Long live Jalopy Journal and the h.a.m.b.

 

Thank you, Ryan, for your passion, insight, wit, attention to detail, wisdom, and uncompromising integrity. Only one other place feels like home like the TJJ/HAMB, and it's my home.

We were just talking about this aspect of the Hamb last weekend. There are two guys on here, one from TX the other from AL, that I am as close to as my actual brother. Actually there are more than these two, but in one instance in the early 90's, all three of us were in the same tiny parking lot at a Rod Run and never met. We all liked the same kind of cars, art, people, etc. but never shook hands that night.

The Hamb puts those 3 guys in the same parking lot at least 3-4 times a year now. Surrounded by the kind of cars, art, and people that we all like and we'll never forget that.

Thanks for all your hard work Ryan.

 

If it hasn't been asked yet, what are the most popular (top 10, 20 etc.) threads in the Journal's / HAMB's history? Longest lived? Most responses? Most views? Etc.

Thanx for the HAMB. Gary

 

Happy 15 HAMB. You rule Ryan. Thank You!
