I hate that I have to post another announcement like this. Please come together as a community and send your thoughts and prayers and condolences to our friend @daves87rs who recently lost his wife after a brief illness. Dave has always been a ray of sunshine and positivity in our community for many years and I hope we can be the same for him. There is a GoFundMe page set up to help offset costs. Please consider contributing. Our condolences Dave.

Even better when you’ve seen it live…..

Thank you. It means a lot. I’m still reeling, as it is still a shock when someone you have known for over 25 years is gone. It helps that I have the support of my family and friends, and the strength of my 13 year old son who continues to inspire me in how he is handling this. In many ways, he is just like his mom. It’s hard, but Drew is right- I tend to be positive, and try to to let life beat me down, but inspire me. She wouldn’t let me sit here and feel sorry for myself…..

Just came back from my daughter's softball game tonight in a posh suburb of Montreal. Kirkland. Yeah, like the Costco brand. Came across lots and lots of new Audis of all kinds. In drive-ways, on the road... More than usual sightings. 3 of the bigger SUVs, 3 of the smaller CUVs, 1 A5, 2 A7s and bunch of A3s and A4s. (Not the interesting stuff I wanna share) The house neighboring the baseball field had 2 Mercedes E Class sedans in the drive-way. A 2019-ish model and a 2015-ish one. Both white. (NOT the interesting stuff I wanna share either...) As the game was being played and we were at bats, and I was the 1st base coach... A nice blue Corvette C6 Z06 drove by... and of course I acknowledged it by yelling out CORVETTE Z06!!! I was lucky that the pitch was already pitched and the catcher was throwing it back to her pitcher.... But I did get some weird glances my way from both of my girls and the opposing team's girls... Oh well! A single Corvette in a sea of drab Audis, Ill take the judgmental looks of 'WTF are you saying?' any time!!!

Read elsewhere that Q2 2021 BE sales reached a tick over 110,000 for the quarter. This was against the total Q2 vehicle sales of 4,412,737 units; a market share of 2.0%. (Hybrids are outside the BE number.)

Seems Ford is really working to get people to attend the Chicago Auto Show. They have a major press release as to the reasons to attend. They also are working with a company to build a real world version of the F150 Rocket League truck. FORD Lists 5 reasons to attend the auto show this year. Five Reasons Why You Must Visit Ford at the Chicago Auto Show | Ford Media Center I am sure people will love the Bronco Obstacle course.

@daves87rs Wishing you and your extended family all the best as you celebrate her life and the amazing time you two had together. ?
