Merry Christmas! No wait..
Enjoy your time off :)

Someone mentioned Scotland, been there a couple times but never driven myself, definitely a place where i will take my own car as soon as i can. And just drive.

You’ll be watching the 24/7 coverage of the Democratic National Convention, won’t you? ;-)

I think it was those cheerleader pics.

Congrats Robert and be safe. This site is THE best I’ve come across to date.

Pst… Farago’s on vacation. No more on the web voices, we can scream out loud! Enjoy the time off and I hope that it is productive for you. Aw heck, you’ve got a preschooler, see what you can learn from him about life.

We’ll try to be careful around the Grotto as we await your return.

Enjoy yourself and remember, this is only your job.

If you go to work in your pajamas, how do you tell when you’re on vacation?

Love the photo of the Auburn… one of my favorite cars ever!

Enjoy the time off Mr. Farago. Here is a suggestion for you, take advantage and schedule a car-related time off next year. It is still work-related, but also time off. While it may not be your cup of tea, I try to do at least two full-week long organized car events each year. I co-drove the New England 1000 vintage rally in the spring, and will be taking 10 days off in a few weeks to do the Going To The Sun Rally in Montana, complete with the round-trip road trip to get there and back. No better way to unwind than spending a week+ on the road in a 2 seat convertible!

Sure beats changing light bulbs!

If this is anything like the Daily Show, something BIG always happens while you are on break and unable to comment on it. GM Hummer or bailout announcement perhaps?

As much as we like you, we can get along just fine for a week. Go sleep in. Go drive some cars instead of writting about them.

Also, get Justin and Jonny to do the podcasts in your absence. That would be interesting.

One week?!? Is that all?!?! Hell, GM won’t even be able to burn through $250M in that time. Oh, wait. Nevermind.

Good luck with those light bulbs!

With that said, you really should schedule at least 2 weeks/year off.

Congratulations on the 700k and the week off. Don’t cheat, though (on the downtime).

Two and a half years and all you’re taking is a week?! We’ll miss you of course – this site is THE BEST! Have a good rest, and be assured that the world of cars will be even more fun (bizarre?) when you get back.
Go for two weeks next year – you deserve it.
Cheers!
