Question Why are people not from this region posting on here??

I know this probably isnt the best thread but just wanted to know. WHy are poeple from other regions posting on the gulf cost forums??

Also, I live in shawnee, oklahoma and there are three 8's around here (one of them is mine) and i never see any of them. Do these people just not like to drive or what?

You mean California isn't considered the Gulf Region?! damn...

Maybe it's just people clicking on "new posts" and seeing something that catches their eye. (come to think about it, that's how I found this thread...)

People can post in whatever thread they want to, regardless of what section it is in. Besides, Jedi and I go way back!!!

You'll also find that many 8 owners are as enthusiastic about their vehicles as others. Perhaps they don't like to drive, or maybe it's a weekend car, or maybe they're not driving the same route at the same time as you......

Oh, you just reminded me that I had to ask you a question about the bulbs you used to replace your driving lights / fogs. Thanks Dazy!
I'll pm you later on.

you dont see any of them? not even yours? if you dont ever see them how do you know they are there? perhaps its you- maybe you never go where they are and they think YOU are avoiding THEM?

It's the thread content that matters.... not the location they are posting from.

As far as seeing other 8's and developing any type of kinship with them I recommend taking a lesson from some of the more prolific clubs in the region and develop a winshield flyer or some cards to hand to other owners when you see them.

Get something started there in Shawnee or move to where there are more than a handful of rotors.

:D

I wonder if anyone has ever moved because there weren't enough rotarys in their neighborhood.

hmm??

Yeah, I'd have to say that's pretty hardcore. Of course my emphasis was on the fact that Shawnee is a lil town of just over 30,000 people or so. Oklahoma City is only like 40 miles away and there is a pretty active group up there it seems.

Since Oklahoma is Arkansas' little sister, we'll forgive you for your question.
Even-though this forum list's TX, OK, AR, LA as the "Gulf Region" the last time I checked my map
Oklahoma and Arkansas do not have any ocean-front property....

We're all one big family (disfunctional at times) trying to help one another.

So, welcome to our family

I had no idea that this crappy post would have so many replies. I wasn't trying to be a butt just wandering about the posts. I will have to see about getting together with some poeple from the city.(oklahoma city)
