Didn't anything happen while I was gone?

I haven't been around in a long time. I have to laugh because I recognize 4 of the threads on the first page. It's like nothing happened while I was gone!

Dang, I forgot how big my sig is. That's just obnoxious. I better fix that.

Nevermind.... it seems the system removed it for me?

The wheels are ROH brand. I think they are what is called the RT model in satin silver. I can't remember exactly. I've had them for 8 years or more. I don't think ROH makes that color any longer and may not even make the wheel altogether.

LOL! A video wouldn't be very interesting. Still parked in the garage without a fuel system. Being married seems to take a lot of motivation out of hot rodding.

Last summer I finally spent money to buy a trailer and tow it from Washington state to Illinois where I live. Outside of that I did manage to get leather seats from a 4th gen TA. Otherwise it collects dust in the garage. Honestly I'd still sell it if a buyer came along with a respectable bundle of cash. But usually somebody ready to spend that much money wants to build their own car and not put finishing touches on somebody else's project.

Re: Didn't anything happen while I was gone?

all i know is this site quit working very well for me a few years ago so i haven't been around much either.
----------
it runs slower the any site on the net for me, auto merge is rediculous, i can't edit my posts all the time when i need too, ahh the frustration goes on.. i haven't seen anything new in a few years either though when i do hop around. this use to be the number one spot for me to hang out and enjoy my cars and it's so unbearable i've actually lost interest in my thirdgens.

about the lack of website updates and server performance. But I remember how excited I was to find this place many years ago and it's still just as good now as it was then.
