man I thought I had the least posts since I joined in 2006 but blkcoupe you beat me there over 500 and joined in 03. I thought I was quiet lol. I just lurk most of the time anyways. on driver more than any other website since I got my G in 06. this site has lots of good info on our cars. since its model specific and they stopped making the 35, ppl are going to sell the G or somewhat and move onto other newer cars. community is gradually diminishing, but hey im never letting go of my G. ill be buried in it lol

I think this forum will become much more active once the used prices drop just a little more.

I don't think "flaming" the noobs will ultimately scare members away, but they should read the rules before joining.

It never ceases to amaze me how new members never seem to use the "Search Function"

I'm on over 40 forums, and it doesn't matter what make, model or type of forum you are on. People will always miss the "Search" and get flamed for it.

This forum isn't circling the drain IMO. I've seen much much worse forums.

It isnt really a Ban if you are still here, more like a time out.

The "New Generation" is fawking terrible. They're barely being able to afford a G with over 100K on it and then coming here asking the most useless/ignorant questions. They expect everything to be handed on a platter for them. Then they get all sorts of bent out of shape and start flexing their internet muscles when you haze them a little for doing it wrong.

Hahahahaha. ^^^^^^^^ this guy. But for real its true. It is a natural cycle. I do think once the used car drops just a hair more people will start buying them just to mod them. I'm waiting on the price to drop a touch more just so I can get one with tons of miles and beat to hell, so I can do there vaydor kit to it. I think people will come and go. We are losing some huge members like pepper..... Patman... They leave and we are usually replaced with 10 idiots who are 16. Who want to mod their car with the 1000 dollars they have. As my dad would say, they have champagne taste on a beer budget. They have literally never worked on a car in their life and expect it to come to them. We will see it turn around but it will be a bit.

I miss the excitement of a certain member who got their wheels stolen and we got a chance to follow him on his recovery of said wheels.

It's too bad most of the great builds on this site have their pictures disappearing.

You're pretty cool for admitting that , please don't let the internet get the best of you...leave your house once in a while, I'm sure the "time-out" was refreshing for you

Of course...I am one of them and I'm doing that to jump start this forum, everyone uses the car forums differently...I feel 350 is actually into the cars mechanics which I like...too few people are willing to work on these 10 year old cars
