Smile What's so awesome about TMS

A lot of us have found that TMS is a community where friendships are formed that spill over into our offline lives. There are a lot of awesome people here who have done some pretty incredible things for one another. Here is one example of how a connection made here created some really cool experiences for students I have been working with. Kudos to Stinger1982 for helping to put this together.

What other cool things have you seen come from connections here?

The clowns will get the point eventually that i am just going to remove thier post from threads where they dont contribute anything worthwhile. If they dont, i have a more drastic solution.

I think all Boss threads are awesome!

Honest, I like when members post pics of their cars and their mods (not mods as in Gary or Scott)

Thanks for the pics and captions Shaun, that must have been fun. I really like the pic of the body side panels
