Happy New Year From The TTAC Crew
The gang at TTAC wishes all its readers a happy and prosperous New Year. May it bring you all the new cars you wish, and may it have mercy on your old ones.
For those who are keeping track of my movements: This is reaching you from China where it is Western New Year, 12 hours ahead of the East Coast, and where it won’t be official New Year until February 10th. A week from now, the Schmitts will change their location to Tokyo, where it is New Year an hour ahead of Western New Year in China. Are we confused yet?
Let’s make this a TTAC New Year around the world … if you have nothing better to do.
We are enjoying our mini bridge here at TTAC, and will be back in full force on January 2nd.

Happy New Year to all that directly make TTAC happen or otherwise. A very special grreat-next-year to all the readers. As I sit here, next to party central in my city, enjoying the (very) warm night air, I can't help but think 2013 is going to be a big one!
Happy New Year! Thank you to all TTAC contributors, including both the prolific and simply observant B&B. Looking forward to another interesting year.
