That's just the way it is in these forums, and I mean all of them.

Some are either too lazy or don't know how to use the search function. Some are looking for updated or new info, and the rest are noobs just searching for mod info.

I remember being one of those noobs just 2 short years ago, so I tend to be more patient than others.

If you see a repeat topic, ignore it. But if you do comment in it, make it constructive. I'd much rather read the answer to the question rather than see 'Don't you know how to use the search feature?' or 'This has been covered 100 times you dummy!'.

And I bet you're referring to the onslaught of battery threads.

This is one of the reasons why this thread is great. It's like an ongoing soap opera.

Yeah no doubt we were in the same boat two years ago. But two years ago the car and products available were either just coming to market or hadn't been around very long. After three years of the same body style things are pretty much settling. It's not like there's been any new CAI's or anything.

I agree it's just as dumb to type "use the search button". So I just ignore it.

Either way just venting my frustration.

Only person was Leo about the parking lot situation at the winery.

Guess we'll see how the weather pans out by Saturday morning.
Sorry I ruined it for Brian, But the thought of going on a cruise twice as long as the new years day one, then driving for an hour or more just to get home doesnt sound appealing to me. But on the other hand you guys make it fun, So I wouldn't mine going if you guys go.

That's why most forums die! Wait till the new stang comes out, the 05-09 section will be a ghost town and will just end up being more of a reference than ongoing discussion. I saw that happen with the 03/04 cobras forums.

I agree...there is the same question over and over.

Also, POTR is FAR better than a soap opera.

One more thing: did anyone notice we're almost up to 15000 posts on POTR. I'll tell y'all now that I won't be the one to post the 15000th post...it wouldn't feel right.

Besides, the liklihood of being at the computer when that happens will be slim, considering that only a few of us actually do work during the day. j/k

hey man it's true though....... don't get me wrong I've ran Doug's tunes before and they are great but still, another common reoccurring thread is "where is Doug" etc. etc. etc. Since the computer controls the whole dang car and installing a tune alters that, I would not want left without customer service LOL.

Very touching George.

Face it, you'd be in for the wine & beer!

I was thinking the samething. It will also be the death to TacoBill unless he goes with the new model.. unlikely though, I may get a C6 once the Mustang changes hands.

That might be by this weekend! It'll probably be Jed during the wee hours of the morning.

I totally agree. Although I must be very lucky as everytime I've called within the past few months e's answered. Your right though there are way to many threads in different forums of people stating the same problem. Even then though I'm sure the few customers he's lost hasn't hurt him since he's still obviously too busy.

Bill's just 16 posts away from 6,000.

Speaking of tunes, wasn't Phil supposed to get a Brenspeed tune for kicks? Would like to hear the comparison against the 93R.

Looking for this one specifically. I already called the guy and he only has the one and not the complete set.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/F-150...2em118Q2el1247

From what I've read 04 F150's have the same cam covers as our stangs.

Sounds like someone is interested in getting a 2nd pair powdercoated.

Too bad someone sold mine.
