OK, New Year’s Day has passed but my family celebrates the Jan. 6 holiday, so happy Three Kings Day! For once I’m early with a letter.

Winter Vehicle Awards are just around the corner. So is the NEMPA Holiday Party and the New England International Auto Show.
NEMPA Winter Vehicle testing, originally scheduled for this Saturday, February 5, has been postponed due to, well, winter. Winter Test Day will now be Saturday, February 12. Award winners will be notified as soon as possible afterward.
Alert: We need your winter vehicles!
The 2010 Ford Flex equipped with Ford’s innovative 355-horsepower turbocharged EcoBoost engine has taken home the prestigious title, Official Winter Vehicle of New England. In addition to the Flex, twelve other models were also awarded for their all-season and winter performance traits by the New England Motor Press Association.
A great time was had by all at the 12th annual New England Motor Press Association Winter Vehicle Awards ceremony. For those who could not make it or just want to reminisce, here’s a photo gallery from the reception courtesy Gene Ritvo.
