Thank you darin!

Darin Cosgrove founded this magnificent site, and I thought those in the know (RH77, bennelson, etc.) would be gracious enough to help us know the story of the beginning of this VERY helpful site, and maybe we can get this put into the wiki in a more condensed version.

For those of us not involved in the making, maybe just a bit of hero worship would suffice

I know being involved on the forum here has changed my driving style so much I scare people less, to now when my wife called me a slowpoke earlier today.

Here's to weaning America from its dependance on oil!
