Why I love this forum

Is because of the awesome people who are willing to give their time and share their knowledge of these wonderful cars. I replied to an ad for a pair of SC flag mirrors a few days ago and although the seller had another buyer another member (you know who you are) saw my post and PMd me about a pair he had. Few e-mails back and forward and done deal and a good one into the bargain. Well this guy is going above and beyond and is also providing a written tutorial with step by step pictures on removal of my mirrors. Now that is what I call a scholar and a gentleman.

If you are a newbie like me the oldies can descend on u like a hawk onto a mouse. I have the scars to prove it!

I avoid the political forum. This is a fun forum with a fun bunch of guys and gals.

Even the over-opinionated A-holes here help others out when they get a chance.


Hey, who you calling an A-hole?

What does PARF mean? I am old too and that I can't avoid but need to understand something that I can avoid.

OT (Off Topic) was split because people couldn't stop themselves from clicking on the Political Threads. These people, now referred to as "poopy heads", cried and a sub-forum was created: PARF (Politics and Religion Forum).

Yer skin needs to be thick as shoe leather to hang in PARF.
Even then it gets ugly.

Who you calling ugly!

IMHO PARF was created because the political threads were taking over OT... on a bad day half (or more) the post would be political... I for one am glad I don't have to wade through all that poo to get to an interesting thread about cars, bikes, motorcycles, spoons, watches, medical conditions, relationships, financial advice, career advice, lifestyle choices, etc.

No need for a thick skin just appreciation for outrageous statements and humor. PARF cannot be taken seriously.
