It's the fall of 2020 and something big is coming. It's a time when
I search within myself, I determine what's important to me, and I
evaluate my choices. I must weigh the pros and cons of each
candidate and eventually make a decision that I can live with for a
number of years. Is it important that the candidate is reliable, is
able to perform well, or has earned global respect? Can I look past
the candidate's faults? It's an important choice that I don't take
lightly. Yes, that's right, it's time for me to choose another project
car. What, did you think I was talking about politics?
On the topic of automotive projects, fall is a great time to start
making project plans for the cold and dark winter months. Do you
need some help with your new or ongoing project? Our chapter's
sponsors are a great resource for parts and advice for the Do-ItYourself crowd, and they are more than capable of handling any
larger projects that you feel exceed your mechanical abilities. Do
yourself a favor - reach out to NCC's sponsors and form a
relationship with them. I've had the pleasure of interviewing a
number of the chapter's sponsors for dB's NCC Sponsor Spotlight
article series and I'm always impressed. Be sure to check out this
issue's NCC Sponsor Spotlight for an interview with RRT.

On the topic of politics, given the upcoming
presidential election and the fact that Washington, D.C. is
geographically centered within our chapter, political
discussions are inevitable and may cause emotions to
run as hot as a track day in August. Thankfully, if
conversations get too heated, we can fall back on
something we have in common as NCC members - a
love of our cars. Regardless of your political affiliation or
your choice of presidential candidate, I hope that we all
find common ground in the pages of this magazine.

Greetings all Virginia BMW Car Club members. After decades of
trying, the day has finally arrived! We are now in the process of
taking applications for Virginia BMW CCA license plates.
However, in order for tags to be made,
we need 450 Virginia CCA
members to pre-order by
December 30, 2020.
If we don't make the
deadline, we will have to
start the process over again
next year. It has been a long
journey, but we can only
make it happen with your immediate participation.
Please sign up now! msreg.com/VaBMWLicensePlates
If you have any questions, please reach out to Billy Dixon
VaLicensePlates@nccbmwcca.org.
