Hello friends and family! I hope this finds you well.

My blogging habits of late feel more like an annual holiday greeting card than a weekly log of my activities (for about ten years, that’s what Drive to Five consisted of). For the few of you who continue to check in here (thanks!), here’s my annual mileage summary, which I will be posting to Instagram under @tysonhugie if you would like to follow me there. Blog readers get it five days early. Bonus!

21,000 miles driven – a far cry from the 58,000 I did in 2016. It’s been downhill ever since!

The below bullet points are a summary of data I am sharing on YouTube. Channel link is here:

When I’m not working my day job in healthcare finance, you can continue to find me as a freelance contributor to the Journal on ClassicCars.com. I also write for AutoHunter auctions (part of the Barrett-Jackson enterprise) as well as the Resources section of KSL Cars. Lastly, my YouTube channel surpassed 15,000 subscribers this year, and it has been fun to keep up the momentum with 1-2 uploads per week. We will see what the future brings. I am without a doubt living my dream!

Sending a hello your way. Come say hello if you’re ever in Arizona. Whether you celebrate Honda Days or Toyotathon, you are all still part of my extended automotive family. Happy New Year.
