I'm guilty for a few reasons.  One, I have much less
time on my hands, the car project has been moved down
on the priority list for a while.  Two, when I do have
car time, I've been trying to actually get out and do
something with it like race or meet up with local guys
so I've been spending more time on local forums.  One
more, 90% of the things being discussed here recently
don't intrest me.  90% of the the topics on
Motorgeek.com do intrest me.

I feel like just about everythings been covered here
at one time or another on the older cars, so hopefully
people are searching and posting less, if not they
should be.  I think the trend now is taking these
great cars and bringing them up to modern technology,
that's what I like talking about.
