Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!
« on: December 19, 2016, 07:07:02 am »
Hi Everybody!

We're going on a publishing hiatus for the next two weeks, and so you won't see any new reviews of features pop up here until January 3rd.
I wanted to jump in and say Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays in which ever way you celebrate it.
Let's hope 2017 is a happy, peaceful and prosperous year for all of us.

Jacob.

On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

I wonder if Jacob is going back to OZ for the holidays.......I mean, the weather is nice there this time of year.  :P I mean, standing upside down might be difficult over there, but surely the folks there are used to that now.

Not publishing doesn't mean "not writing"  :) 
We'll be spending this two weeks working away prepping for next year and of course writing up our backlog.
I write about everything I drive, Xmas or not.

Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...
