Luis, I saw the thread but I was really hungover at the time.... Plus, I didn't really have anyting to add.

People are around -- it's just slow on Rennlist with everyone doing bunch of holiday stuff.

Luis, funny you ask. A buddy and I were just discussing this the other night. It seems that a lot of people have left because these boards just aren't the same anymore. There seems to be a handful of people on here that want to jump down your throat for the ever slightest differing opinion you may have from theirs.

Most topics no longer have any useful knowledge to them at all. Instead people want to just prove who's dick (hp) is bigger then the others, my vendor is god and all others suck, or I raced this car last night, or my girlfriends mother's sister ate a twinkie in my car last night....You get the point...

It's getting very tiring and most the times my ears start to bleed from all people that jump on and cause a thread to go OT. Many of the good people have just moved on. Rant off....

Hedley Lamarr: You do?
Taggart: We'll work up a "Number 6" on 'em.
Hedley Lamarr: "Number 6"? I'm afraid I'm not familiar with that one...
Taggart: Well, that's where we go a-ridin' into town, a whampin' and whompin' every livin' thing that moves within an inch of its life. Except the women folks, of course.
Hedley Lamarr: You spare the women?
Taggart: NAW. We rape the **** out of them at the Number 6 Dance later on.
Hedley Lamarr: Marvelous.


sorry for the OT.................

Christmas? Oh yeah. Thats coming up in a few days, huh.

Don't ya know, that if ya haven't gotten it all taken care of by now (shopping and all, that is), your SCREWED anyway?

I'd just like to know the definition of "gearhead".

I think, I'm just a wanna-be.....gearhead. Porsche's only, mind ya.

MERRY CHRISTMAS............AND/or............HAPPY HOLIDAYS........TO ALL!

Other than the 951 forum and the OT forum, I rarely venture elsewhere on Rennlist anymore. Sadly I havent been happy with the direction the technical forums have taken due to certain members. But that's just my personal opinion.

And, a good one at THAT! Different strokes, for different folks. Butt, I see your point, and can agree.


Somewhat.

A personal opinion that is shared by others.

I think everyone is waiting for Mr. Pilkington to come over from porscheforum. He seems to be a real technical guru.

I think a lot of the regulars moved to different cars, different hobbies, got into RA and are going through a 12 step process to wean themself of the rennlist addiction.

It surely cannot be because of things like this

It took you a freaking year to figure out what a 15 year old can figure out in 10 minutes, yea right very smart. lol.
