10 Years of The GTA Source Page

The 10th Anniversary of this website will arrive on November 14.... I know it is not as nice and slick as many would like, but I feel it has helped a lot of people become owners and/or enthusiasts over the years and I'm proud that it is still around.

I never thought a small GeoCities personal car page would turn into this manner of enterprise.... and I'm proud to be associated with a good bunch of folks like we have here on some of these online message boards.

I know I have received a lot of "bumps" from posters here over the years.... and do not for one minute think that they have not been appreciated. They most certainly have.

Great Stuff! It's the deadication and commitment by people like yourself and others on the forum that make this what it is - the ultimate resource for f-bodies. We each bring our own piece of the pie and there is room for all.

I know I've browsed through your site looking for that rare piece of info. Glad it was there.

10 years ... wow. Come to think of it ... I'm old now too! :-)

Mark.

Re: 10 Years of The GTA Source Page

Thanks for everyone's kind words.... I'm glad to have been helpful to some of you over the years. Bull, send me your username and email via email and I'll check the database for a match, OK?

In celebration of the site's anniversary, we have come up with the idea for GTA owners to post newly shot photos to the forums of their own cars to mark the date. The postings will run all week long after Wednesday until November 21. So if you're interested then get that GTA out and get it snapped, shutterbugs everywhere!
