I’m writing this, my last president’s message, shortly after we returned from 5 days of helping our son Tristan move into his first home, a place in the valley only a few miles from his work. Margie has been in decorator heaven getting him all set up and “feathering his nest”. I’m just glad to be home again, though I certainly was glad we could help. I want to thank several of you club members who have been instrumental in Tristan’s move.

As we come to the close of this strangest of years, I hope each of you are well and have found some joy in your lives. This is normally the most joyous season of the year, and usually involves sizeable gatherings of family and friends. I hope in some way you are able to still do a bit of that. Thanks to modern technology, we can still see and hear our loved ones, but I sure miss the hugs! I also miss the larger gatherings of our club members. I like to think of each of you as friends that share a common love for our wheels and the freedom they give us.

The long, cold winter is upon us, but one of the cool things about living in Arizona is that the cold season for us means that there is great weather in the southern part of the state, and there are usually lots of fun car-related things that we can do down below. I hope we will be able to enjoy some of that this winter. In the meantime, I want to wish all of you a Merry Christmas!

Car Enthusiasts Rejoice! With the internet, your car enthusiasm knows no bounds. YouTube is home to millions of videos about cars, but several channels stick out to us that we love to pass along to all of you. If you’re into cars and have some time to kill, which you should with Covid 19 and being shut down, settle in and watch a few videos to pass the time. Looking for new ways to get your car fix? Try these car-related YouTube channels to keep your mind shifting gears when you need a little entertainment.

Want to know more about how cars work? Learn How Engines Work here. Might Car Mods Youtube For a little laughter and modifica-tions, Australia’s famous Mighty Car

Mods is here to entertain you. Known as the #1 DIY Car Channel on the internet, Mighty Car Mods is a heck of a good time paired with crazy modifications done in a garage amongst two best pals, Marty and Moog. The duo takes cars ready to be modified and transforms them before your eyes in half an hour or more. Get up to some shenanigans with these two Aussies and you’ll be sure to learn (and laugh!) a lot.

enthusiasts come together to write about the latest and greatest in the auto industry.

The TFL Now crew gives you real feedback you can trust when looking into a new vehicle or just wanting to know more about one before it hits production.

If you’re a science nerd, then Engineering Explained hosted by Jason Fenske is the perfect mix of science and cars. Fenske pulls apart and explains the

simple to complex parts and pieces of vehicles to help those watching understand how cars work. He also reviews the overall efficiency of vehicles, the best parts to look for, and anything else under the sun where science and cars intersect. If you’re into How It Works, Engineer-ing Explained will cover most of the bases when it comes to vehicles.

Fully Charged Show Youtube If you’re into electric vehi-cles, Fully Charged is the perfect YouTube channel for you. Hosted by Robert Llewellyn and Jonny

Smith, this YouTube channel is full of first looks of up-coming electric cars and trucks with insider details and test drives. One of our favorite episodes involves Volkswagen’s newest models, the Buzz and ID.
