Happy New Year 2025

Posted in Uncategorized on December 30, 2024 by tysonhugie

Here we go again. My once-weekly (or more) posts on Drive to Five are now taking place once per year, but I keep the domain active just for the sake of archival and preservation. This website was home to trip journals representing roughly a decade of my life, after all! 2024 was a great year for me, and I hope it was for you as well.

My YouTube channel (where I do post once a week or more) saw almost half a million views, with 30,000 hours of watch time and a 1,600-subscriber increase.

I am still a key contributor to “The Journal” on ClassicCars.com, and you can read my stories there a couple of times a week. Here is a link to all of my stories on the site.

89 guests signed my guest book at the house/garage this year. I drove 22,792 miles.

Automotive collection-wise, 10 of my vehicles stayed consistent year-over-year. I bought and sold three vehicles, finished and sold one, and acquired two new ones. It’s a revolving door around here.

There’s a lot to look forward to in 2025. It will be the year I finally plan to cross the 600,000-mile mark with my top-mileage car (for which I started this very blog back in 2011).

Sending all the best to you and yours this season! Thanks for the support and friendship.
