Wow! I don't even know where to start here. This is the second time I read this thread. It took a while...I had to stop a few times especially when the family posted. I've personally known 2 people the automotive community has lost (1 Corvette and 1 Mazda) and it's amazing how everyone pulls together. Losing a brother (or sister) is never easy, but the is always able to cross the lines of vehicle make, type and geographic location to come together in support for each other. I'm not sure if it says more about the caliber of person we lost or caliber of people in the automotive community...but then I guess it's all one in the same.
Tom, Steve, and, it seems, Shannon were all INCREDIBLE guys who got taken from this world too soon. We are all blessed to have had our lives touched by these people. The similarities between the 3 personalities (again, I only know Shannon by what I've read) is uncanny. Besides the love for speed, all 3 were genuine, giving, and understood the concept of appreciating each day you're given. More people should live their lives like that.
The rotating banner and this thread still being active is a tribute to the person Shannon was. Stickers are being ordered for each of my vehicles so I can do my part.
