I have to say that this has been one of the best years of my life.

1) A smart/beautiful/loving/happy wife that supports me in whatever I do, and really keeps our life organized and put together.

2) Two perfectly happy kids that just turned 4 (both of which are mopar/car nuts) My son almost lost his mind when he saw the mopar pro-stock slot car's under the tree this Christmas. And every time I take my daughter to daycare in my Plymouth she says "Go fast and make the turbo whistle Daddy."

3) Started my new fantastic job at Chrysler in October. Low stress and very rewarding.

4) Finished re-modeling my garage from a dungeon to bright/heated haven with a hoist.

5) Finally got to start racing with my Dad (dvw) again this summer after waaaaaay too many years of not doing it.

6) Not to mention that my car has continued to surprise everyone (including me) with what a mopar can do with a pile of stock parts and some boost. Almost made it in the 9's... and I firmly believe if the 8 3/4" would have lasted just one more pass it would have made it! Best pass of the year was [Email]10.08@136mph.[/Email] Not bad considering the first pass of the year was in the 11.20's! Best vid of the year (not sure who took this), but it really shows just how quiet/smooth this thing is.

Overall... it's been a fantastic year... can't wait for spring so I can do it all over again.
