You know, that might just work.

Then what would you do all day?

The majority of the threads that i see on the first page are kind of stupid imo. (excluding the ones that have been posted a while ago, such as the noobie thread, pic thread, a couple of Irish44's reviews, that kind of stuff.) A thread about bad gas mileage? A thread about the differences between 5 and 5.5th gens? A thread full of complaints about problems they've had with their car? A thread about how to drive a stick? (i think you get my point) These are the ones that are the most active. The only one thats worth reading is the one about the dual exhaust, something thats actually different/useful.

you say the one about the dual exhaust is the only good one . guess what? dual TIP exhaust has been discussed before...and done by people. it isnt new.

People are reading and posting in these threads.
If nobody was interested then the view/post count would be zero.

I'm not sure why you guys don't get this, but here it is again:

1. Nobody is forcing you to read or post in these threads.
2. Nobody forces you to log onto this site.
3. It is a PUBLIC forum.
4. You are free to leave.

Some of you guys talk like you own this place.
As far as I know, some spikey headed dictator owns this site.

I guess people just like to ***** when they have nothing better to do.

veterans will say to search, but all we need is one person to spoon feed the person and its all over. that person now knows he can get away with it.
quoted since this is the root cause of all the problems.

when you have been here for a little more than 3 months, you will understand.
people like me are here to help. not to sound like im better than anyone, but i already knows the answers to most problems. ive been here for awhile and ive learned. i rarely start new threads, i dont have a need to. it gets old having to go through tons of new threads that we have personally answered many times over the years. it makes it easier for us to help, if there are legitimate questions to answer.
people complain about us being mean and not helping...dear god, we are trying to help. i dont want to answer a question i have answered hundreds of times over the years. i know the info is available...i provided it.
most of my help is not provided in the newbie thread.

For once, I am in 100% agreement with sooner.

After a while it gets...beyond annoying to see the same topic covered a thousand times over.

Swear to god, the next person that asks about intake or exhaust in the 4th gen forum, I'm going to develop a way to stab them in the face through the internet.
