The staff of Grassroots Motorsports will be away until the new year. During this time, our office will be closed and phone calls and emails will be returned once we return.

This is a time for family and friends to come together, and each and every one of our employees will be taking time away from work to be with their loved ones celebrating a magical season. They’ll be baking cookies, sewing jolly costumes and drinking hot chocolate by the fire. 

Okay you caught us: We’ll be in the garage finishing our project cars!

Tim nearly has his Mustang vintage race car finished, Tom is machining Elva parts and prepping the 350Z for a NASA TT.

Chris is finishing up his Super Beetle restoration.

JG nearly has his V6-swapped MR2 running and is still measuring the chassis on his ASA car.

David is sorting out the suspension on his Miata and might take his M3 for a nice drive.

Nicole still has to get the radio working in her MR2.

Katie’s car shopping for a sporty replacement for her CRV, Kevin’s cheering on his son’s iRacing career, and everybody else is probably playing with cars, too.  

Still need your GRM fix? Don’t worry: You’ll still see fresh content online every day, and we wouldn’t be surprised if our staff was still on the forum throughout the next week. Have a happy holiday, everybody, and we’ll see you next year.

If you’re lucky enough to have some time off this season, what will you be working on?

I'll be working on giving Tom's old Element culture shock as I bring it back to Nebraska for the new year. Hopefully it doesn't protest and demand to go directly back to FL immediately.

I don't have a project car to work on, but I do have too much time on my hands and a copy of Forza Horizon 5:

I've got 4 active project cars, but spending the majority of the time with my family.

I will also be spending time in the gingerbread garage:

Shout out to CoolCookieCuttz on Etsy, who sells the Model A and 1967 Mustang cookie cutters (among many others) for a very reasonable price. The Honda Element cookie cutter was a Tom special.

Plus the Porsche 911 needs some loving, too, as it's headed back to Radwood.

I have a list of things to do on 4 different vehicles, but alas I will be about an hour away from all of them over the Christmas holidays. Also way to cold to be working on anything tho.

We are a service company so we will be working Tues through Fri. 

I somehow doubt we will be working hard though. I get pretty unmotivated to work during the holidays and that seems to transmit through the rest of the team. 

Besides, we knocked last year out of the park.
