Thanks a lot Tommy, if it wasn't for you I would not be here every single day. I think you did a great job with the site. And looks like your life is only getting better. My box wouldn't be what it is today if it wasn't for you. There's not much more I can say that hasn't been said before. My life has changed right along with yours thanks to this site. So many people/friendson this site that I hope to someday meet, All because you did such a great job here. Thank You so much.

I say we get a benefit together for him, eh guys? How about we hold it....Somewhere here in the Midwest where everyone can drive and meet up. Make it one BIG xB bash!! Eh?? Sound good? Well, it does to me.

Tommy, most people get to know a small circle of friends and keep in touch here or there.

Because of you and Club xB I have met many cool people over this last year and I am glad to see you are doing well. This site is one of my favorites and the community you brought together is quite an accomplishment.

Thank you for keeping it going even when you were down. I know you will be a part of us for many years to come. Good luck with things in your life and have fun with your xB.

"From the abundance of your heart, your mouth speaks."

Tommy, it's really great to hear from you, and straight from your heart.
Strength through proven character is what you are. Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us.

What you've started here with "CLUBxB" has brought many people together. Thank you for sacrificing your time, so that we can have such an awesome place where we can meet new and old friends, and to enjoy this community that you started. Could'nt do it with out you.

Thank you

Eric.

Keep Risin 2 Da Top Tommy !

Personally I've never been in that situation. I'm 47 and I have always been in a positive mode, don't get me wrong, we've all had those times when life didn't go out way or what we thought was our way and I'm no different. But with good friends and a willingness to learn, we pick ourselves up and get back on track.
I've always built my own stuff since childhood, got into cars with my 1st at 19 (1973 Capri), learned as much as I could and kept going. Joining car clubs, bonding with members (all before the internet) has kept me on the upswing. Got into Body Building in my late 20's so seeing you take that route to physically improve yourself was the step in the right direction to get you on track.
This sight is another step to help keep me in that direction, just purchasing one a few months ago, these are a hella buncha good members with vast knowledge! So buddy good luck to ya, you're on your way !

Wow -- Tommy I'm really glad that "you" decided to start this all off. I have enjoyed this site ever since I found it. And I'm glad that you have found direction in your life. The people here are the "best' and I have had the chance
to meet two of them in person. Hope to see you too someday at a meet in
SoCal or where ever our paths may cross. Take care young man -- The journey
has only started.

PS --- Sorry about the food post thing awhile back. Damm just thinking about
those makes me hungry.

Continued success in the search of dreams.

Tommy, that was deep. I'm really glad you shared your story with us. You brought new inspirations to me, and now I'm looking at life in a different light. EVERYBODY can benefit from your story.

Thank YOU for being true to us. YOU are da MAN! I give you mad props for not only what you did for us here on ClubXB so far, but also what you did with your life.

thanks tommy, you have inspired me. I am still in deep shit, but still moving on. I hope your life gets better and better everyday. I hope mine and everyone else does do. But I do know that shit happens, and hope we all can get over it for the better.
thanks again for the inspiration.

Tommy, I'm so happy you finally have a Box and are experiencing what we've all enjoyed. Life can get hard and I won't try to tell you I understand everything you've gone through, no one can. As a person who makes a joke of almost everything I'll offer you this last piece of advice....don't take life too seriously, you'll never get out alive.

Thanks for starting this whole thing off. It's my favorite site and I've made some fast friends on here.

Be strong, be cool and most of all be happy. We'll be looking for you in the future.

wow tommy i don't know what to say besides thank you. this forum has been like a home to me. i have many friends because of this site and have recieved sooooo much info about these cars due to this site. when i first registered there were some sections that didn't even have posts in them yet!

this site took off and for good reason. the people were friendly and helpful. if it wern't for this site i don't know where my car would be and would certainly miss the friendships i have gained over here. truly from the bottom of my heart tommy thank you again and don't be afraid to pop up on here once in a while and say hello.

Wow Tommy that was great. You've really changed. And for the better too. Thank you for making ClubxB an awesome sight! Without it I wouldn't know half the people I know now and my car would've never been modified 0.0. LOL.

Thank You!!

fenixz1 · 02-06-2007, 02:24 PM

Thanx for creating this really cool site where I have learned a lot of things even if I haven't done anything yet to my box. It's going to be my project for this year and then I'll post some pics

All the times i've been here, i never thought that there is such a personal story and effort behind all of this. It is all appreciated by so many people across this great country and far beyond. By making change in your life you've made a difference for a bunch of us. Thanks man!
Keep the Box rolling!

Scionpro · 02-18-2007, 08:03 PM

Hey Tommy, When life gives you nothin but snow and ice make a snow cone! I love this site and you have done a great job. I have sent several requests to become an advertising sponsor on the site but have not received a response. So if the nut is tall and the cash is small give Scionpro a call! 1-888-scion94. Ask your members. Many are my clients and happy ones at that. Give me a call! I will make yous an offa yous can't refuse....forgetaboudit!

DTRAIN619 · 03-21-2007, 11:14 PM

Figures, I'd be late to the party as usual....

Tommy, your testimony is very inspiring. At the time that I found Club xB, I was having a few people-related problems. This site (and it's members) allowed me to loosen up and and it quickly became my second home. For that I thank you from the depths of my soul.

Carry on, and fight the good fight!
