    Boy, ain't that the truth! :rofl2: It's like trying to sell sand to the Saudi's....

    I guess it offsets the fact that the group is so willing to give away info/tips/tricks... No better place for a wagon question.

    We're so tight, we squeak. Mothballs come out of our wallets. Our wives control the toys! :evilsmile:

    The next generation will be able to do bodywork with Krazy Glue. Now that's not cheap at $4.00 a tube.:slap:

    I think that it is a commitment to join a forum, and that many people who chance upon them don't give that much thought. I know that when I am surfing for parts, info, etc, I sometimes end up in forums of one kind or another. It's frustrating when I can't see something I am trying to look at, but I will not join unless I'm going to stay. That just seems like courtesy to me...

    I'm still relatively a newb here (at least IMHO), but I do agree that users shouldn't join, post, and disappear... :2_thumbs_up_-_anima

    I'm always a newbie here. It's always and constantly refreshed with new people, new issues, new solutions, and new discoveries from all over the world. That's why I come by every day. It's broad enough in scope that it often inspires some new widget or thing or process that makes the hobby so varied and interesting and challenging. We're winners. We can do stuff that the nextgen will suffer from 'paralyis through analysis' for 20 years.

    As much as I love my Fox Ford, none of the Mustang sites or even Fox-bodied sites, are as diversified and interesting, because of our Wagon/Family car family. Our wagons have been built, rusted out and restored with huge Family history for decades, whereas so many other models have been raced, derbied and smeltered. And we can do all of those things to them, and still preserve them. It's not a flash in the pan relationship with these family chariots.;) And niether with our fellow members and colleagues. The Best! :thumbs2:

    before i join any forum, i cruze through there threads and check the place out. it could takes 6 months or 6 weeks before i make up my mind if i want to hang out there.
    most times, i'm there because of a new ride i got and i need info.

    Well I'm only here to Drink Tedy's beer.So Tedy When I get another wagon I'll drive cross 2 countries to hit your stock pile of beer. :biglaugh:

    BTW Tedy well said. Maybe the staff here would be kind of enough to remove a thread when a member try's to sell a car or part here.

    But every now and then a new member who does come here and try to sell their car ends up keeping it and joining our world. so to them I say thank you for saving another wagon and staying here.

    I agree.
    Perhaps we could have a "strategy" :naughty: to bombard these other self-serving posters with tales of buyers' remorse! :cry:

    We could show up to the person house and act like the villagers from the Frankenstein movies.
