New Pano FS experiences?

IMHO, ...stinks.
We were away for a week and the 'new' Pano was in my mail bundle when we got back.

...so, I saw a few interesting cars, and thought I would try to track them down using the new ad number format on the pca . org site.

Of the 6 cars I looked up, one already had a different price, and the other 5 had been removed for one reason or another - so I was 0 for 6.

How about ditching the cartoon series (Spy Collector [Chapter 11]) in favor of devoting the full 6 pages (which are ad-free) the cartoon took up in this month's issue, and returning the classified to the old format with the full description, location, and contact info.

...rant over...continue to march...

Bill K


ps - this rant also sent to Pano eds.
...so there !

Letters to the Editor have complained about the cartoon which does suck.

I agree, ditch the comic book.

Send an email letter to the PCA board and the editor. Not some angry rant, but a pleasant business like email. There is sothing anyone here can do about it.

Like any diligent shopper you must be timely. No going to the pharmacy to by last weeks "want ad press" or "autotrader" when the internet is open 24/7.

That said, I don't like change..so by default I don't appreciate the new classified layout either.

Understood.
I'm just trying to see if my lack of success was shared with any other Pelicans.
