with the end of yet another year within arm's reach, I was sitting here thinking of the member(s) here that deserve a huge shout out/recognition for the work the put in to the bay forums.
Tcash has done sooooo much work cleaning things up, I think he should get the gold medal
but really, who do you think has helped the bay guys?
-busdaddy always knows the fucked up size of that stupid screw you need
-SGKent is right on top of T4 internals
who do you feel helped you out of a situation and deserves a special thanks?
jake raby has kept me from putting a .357 in my mouth with Subaru cooling system configurations
Everett Barnes hasn't locked me out yet 
vwpieces killed it with me and my headliner install
WM971252 has towed just about every piece of shit I own home....then back to the scrapper...
what member would you like to say thanks to?

A strong vote for T-cash for sure.
Bus Daddy is always there for great suggestions and advice as well.
There's many really good contributors to the Bay Forum but clearly, those two stand out.

X3, even during the dismal days of the November search crisis TCash found answers for all that has already been answered numerous times previously, the force is strong with this one

| TCash deserves some serious recognition for all his indexing and helpful posts. He's a good choice. I gotta say though, I'd vote for every one of the other guys on the list too for the tireless assistance I've seen them provide this year. |

There are so many people who contributed I cannot name all the names without feeling ashamed I might leave someone out. All that said - those who have ever tried to put together an assortment of things in how-to's, photos, pictorials etc., know how much time it takes. My vote also goes to ............................... TCASH.
and honorable mentions to all other forum members who have at least once this year gone out of their way to try to help other members - As well as Everett for putting up with us. Don't forget Glenn and the power of Locked.

Or a life - however you want to look at it Maybe any of you on this list for that matter 
Stewart is a post whore for sure.
Ray with his long drawn out descriptions of shit I didnt really care about anyway - but if I did care - I just need to wait a line or two and SGKent would tell me what I thought
To the constant friends - I hope you know who you are - If I talk to you then I consider you a friend! Thats pretty much all of you except that one guy.
Mostly to all of you being just sarcastic enough, just asshole enough, just friendly enough, just tough enough and plain old helpful all the time.
Thank you and many days of wind in your hair and the smell of cat pee in your bus because you forgot to roll the damn window up again!

I nominate both BusDaddy and Telford Dorr for their incredible knowledge of electronics.
I am perpetually challanged by anything to do with electrons and the knowledge of these two fine gentlemen has saved me many times.

Busdaddy and asiab3 made the light bulb in my head go on with their patience and explanations in my distributor/carb thread.
I know it doesn't seem like much but I learned more from that thread than I have in years.

I vote Tcash as well, if it's for the year. Otherwise, over the time I've been a member, there's a long list with the Flying Moose guy topping it.
