Hey gang. Most of you probably don't even remember me. Which is probably best for you and me. I had some time to kill this morning so I thought i'd come check in. This was such a great community and I made a lot of friends and some I still am in contact with.

Is it always so dead in here? When i was active there were responses all the time and the off topic page would have a page full of responses from that day. Hmm maybe kids these days just have too much social media to keep up on. Back in my day we only have 6gc.net and Myspace

Oh yay some responses
Glad there's some people alive around here. Is Coomer apart of this anymore? I ran into him randomly about 3 years ago when he was riding his bike down a hill in seattle. well I didn't literally run into him. I was crossing the street and recognized him.

I love my Z. Unfortunately I'm selling it and moving on. Lucky enough to keep the Celica. The Z's/G's are some great cars, definitely the most fun I've had behind the wheel.

It's not only here that seems to be dead. THe whole scene has died down a lot since the early 2000's. No one even gives my car a second glance now and im sure if I had my celica it would be called rice now days even though it was pretty clean.
I now find myself saying "when i was your age...." to kids when they talk to me about the car scene. lol. i feel old! -------------------- Cruisin down the street in my Infiniti...always lookin for my next trip to Sin City

I see coomers old car running around every so often (no idea who owns it but someone near me does) needs some work, Mine is long gone. I also have a G35 now, can't blame celica people going that route there great cars. I still have the scoobs too.

I hate social media. Though I can somewhat understand it over forums as it's convenient if you're into social media already anyway, and it's probably easier to get local groups together as well. I don't think forums will die out completely as there're a lot of things it'd be difficult or inconvenient trying to use some form of social media layout. I think the biggest issue, and with car forums dedicated to older models specifically, is that everything has already been done a million times. Then when someone new posts asking about whatever the few still around are like "USE SEARCH BAR" or "GOOGLE IT".

I always refer people to search the forum(s) or google whenever they ask about something on Facebook and it's already been done.
Most say "I can't find anything" then it takes me a 1 minute to search this or alltrac.net and find what they need. So lazy. |
