Yeah, I saw all of that, and disagree totally with it. Makes sense to kill the one really cordial thread on this forum.
I guess it's just another step towards the ultimate takeover and decline/death of this forum from the immature ricer crowd that eventually kills all the good boards once a car reaches a reasonable used car market price.
It's already occurring in other threads - moronic topics, ignorant, first-grade level communication skills (that's being generous), internet "tough guy" attitudes.
It's all sad really. I don't blame Ken for bailing if he did.
So before I get my hand slapped or banned, let me point out that I have spent over $5,000 in purchases from vendors/sponsors of this site.
Am I really the demographic that you want to run-off? What do the vendors think of losing members that actually spend thousands of dollars on their products?
BTW - drove my Z to work today. Puddles still out on Westheimer. I may sneak back over here this weekend and disable the offending sprinkler head.
