Hi from the old guy

Wow just reading thru all the threads.

Great info
The stickies are awesome!!!!!

But honestly I can't help feeling like the old guy, seems a bit like a teenage forum.

There is an "Over 40" thread that would beg to differ

Many of the long term members are career professionals and/or retired. Only in the past 1-2 years has there been a noticeably increasing teenage element. Always have been present, but the ratio is indeed quickly swinging.

Welcome!

Largely it's just accumulated snippets over years of watching the questions and answers, problems and fixes. Maintaining it hasn't been even a faction of the time I spend on here.

It's not totally up-to-date. It depends on the members to post updates. And, some have probably moved on to other cars.

I make any updates that come along. I just turned 57.

I love this random ****, great entertainment.
I think there will be plenty of us old farts around, buying toys for ourselves to convince ourselves we are not old yet.

Good night Stephen, I need a lot of convincing. In my case it's not the years, it's the mileage.
Like the old saying, I feel like I've been rode hard and put up wet.

****, you are feeling it today. You'll perk up by Wednesday. A few years ago I'd be amping by the next afternoon but it takes a few days(weeks?) now.
