It is great to have so many new members joining the nest! For many of you, someone else's loss has been your gain, others are just now finding us after owning their car since new. Whichever the case may be, it is great to see excited new folks finding their way to TBN.
As a member that has been around since the beginning, let me tell you how to get the most out of TBN. First, use the search function to learn just about everything there is to know about your car and what can be done to it to personalize it, maximize its performance, maintain it, detail it , etc. Then jump right in and post to your little hearts desire. Tell us about your experience and how you became an owner. Ask questions if you don't understand something you read in the forums. Get to know folks - most of us are pretty nice and even when we disagree it is a family squabble more than a war.
BUT, the #1 thing you can do to maximize your TBN experience is attend an event with other TBN members. Events range from local group gatherings for a day to full blown multi-day events that rival anything that you have ever been to with car clubs. Once you go, you will be hooked and then you'll be trying to figure out how to talk the boss into letting you have more time off to go to another. The best way to get the most enjoyment from an event is to join in a caravan to the event - its all part of the fun, fun, fun.
After you have been to an event or two and see how others work to show the membership what their hometown is like, consider organizing an event in your part of the world. If you build it, we will come! We love to learn more about this beautiful country of ours and it is best to learn about it from folks that are proud of where they live.
Anyway, welcome one and all to a new chapter in your life as a Thunderbird owner - you are going to love it!
