CarSpace Hudson's BlogAll around the car world there are stories and these are just a few of them. A new blog is posted every Monday. Sometimes more often. Dec 31, 2007 - New Year's ResolutionsEach New Year's Day, we resolve to change things in the coming 12 months. With an additional day in the coming year, I'm breaking with tradition and sharing some of my automotive-related resolutions for 2008. I resolve to: Attend more car shows. In 2007, too many other things came up and prevented me from attending the car shows that I had planned to see. In addition to my usual rounds, I hope to find a new car show or cruise night here and there. If anyone has any good ones in Southeastern Pennsylvania (let's say from Chambersburg to the Poconos), drop me a line. Compete in more autocrosses. After I get the struts changed on the Suzuki, I hope to best last year's count of ONE autocross. And, with a better suspension, I hope to best my initial outing by beating more than one other driver (I finished 8th out of 10, but one did not complete a single lap). Work on my vehicles. With the fleet now numbering THREE vehicles not on the road (four if you count the Suzuki awaiting strut replacement surgery), I hope to get one of them running this year. The MG sits there pining to take to the open road. The Moto Guzzi moped sits in the corner like a neglected toy. And the newest edition, the Ford Ranger, is ready for the modifications I plan to give it. Lots of work and only 366 days to do it. Write more. I have one article due to my publisher in February but I want to finish two or three more by the time next New Year's Eve approaches. I hope to have a regular non-automotive writing gig this year as well. And I would love to get started on any of the longer-form writing projects (a couple of books, a few screenplays, etc) I've discussed over the years...perhaps this will be the year for it! Volunteer at the local car musuem. I've talked about it for years. But I need to just open up time in my schedule and accomplish this task. They need the assistance and I'd like to offer my time, but there never seems to be enough time in the day...week....month. Start and finish my documentary. Another one of those projects that has been on the back-burner for far too long. Sources for projects like this are not getting any younger. And neither am I. If you've got resolutions like this, let me know. Please let me know that I'm not alone in this sort of procrastination. We'll work on it together and encourage each other to get each task behind us...so we can find new tasks for 2009 and beyond! Happy New Year to all!
