When was this forum created?

I bought my first copy of the printed magazine at a 7-1 in West Paln Beach,

Fall of 84ish.

FWIW

Been here ever since

Makes me sad knowing this forum was around for so long and I wasn't apart of it. I remember hearing about the challenge in the early 2000's, thinking it was an incredibly awesome idea... I was very into forums starting in about 2001 with mr2oc, NICOclub, northwestnissans... All of those forms are dead or nothing like they used to be. I found GRM when looking for an active forum that would be an antidote to the Facebook groups that killed all my old favorite forums. Definitely like it here! 

In reply to MaxC :

Don't sweat it. You can't change the past, but you can DEFINITELY change the future.

I was a member in '98 and even bought a car to build for the challenge in 2001 or 2002 but life happened, and I spent about 20 years doing other stuff.

Long enough to remember WerksGarage.

m.grm, I miss you..

First magazine I got was the $1500 Challenge.  It was a freebie, I filled out a thing on VW Vortex for it.  Got a subscription about 6 months after that.

Joined the forum back then too.  Had a VW Rabbit and a few other piles.  

I remember when Tard was a term of endearment, not "the R word"
