RMMGS4 "Glen" Appreciation Thread
I doubt many in the 2GS forum saw this
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/nor...ml#post7421814
The efforts on Glen's part and his influence in the 2GS/Lexus community cannot really be spoken. It is appropriate to just say "thanks" in the 2GS forum where his vehicle is one of the best in the WORLD. I think when we think of of a car that exemplifies the 2GS, his car is one that comes to mind. As a 2GS owner I've always looked as his car and thought his attention to detail was uncanny. After a decade I got the opportunity to meet Glen last year and see the car in person and it was a day I won't forget. The car in person was even better than pics! Glen was also so cool to talk to and so positive even with us discussing changes in the Lexus community. Thanks for the pep talk(s).
Its sad that we thank people when they move or step away or not at all sometimes. We should appreciate those that push for excellence and help so many others along the way in the Lexus community. Glen helped countless members here directly or indirectly though meets, posts or his incredible build and continues to do so for over a decade!!!
So I hope you 2GS guys take just 30 seconds to look at his thread and review his car and say thanks.
No he isn't going away.

Glen has been an icon in this forum forever and helped so many people that thanks isn't really enough; that being said, thanks Glen for all your contributions to the community over the years!
I think we could say a lot of the same things about 1sicklex as well, that whole generation of members taught me so much when I first came to CL, so thanks to you as well Mike!

Thanks for posting this here Mike, as Glen has been an inspiration with his dedication to the GS platform for so many years. Definitely mad props to all his dedication and time into organizing events. Also big props to you for doing the same in the southeast!! It definitely takes a lot of time and effort and dedication to organize meets and shows, and it's time for others to take on the mantle.
