I've never been in the politics forum and probably never will, I see no good coming from being there.

I too run adblock on my desk top and run a browser on my tablet that blocks ads, Moparts is the only site I use that browser for. I spend more time on forAbodiesonly now than here.

I have have been posting on here for years but it is getting increasingly frustrating. I know everybody is entitled to their opinion, I post trying to give some useful information or of an experience I had. Just to many people ready to pounce and call out mistakes going over every post looking for a way to contradict what I said. I know many people have left the forum , I just spoke to one Moparts member a week or so ago and he agreed about the Moparts decline. I have already removed the list of my Mopars from my posts and will be spending less time here and will probably only use the site for selling items and even that i haven't been as successful here as I used to be.

Had to poke my nose in on this one. Used to post a lot, got burned out on several fronts and walked away from most forums for a while. Got more into writing, which now occupies most of my day...once I'm done I'm ready to run from the computer. Unloaded my Imperial in March, now tinkering with a trash-can Fox body that would've been a nice, clean four-cylinder if it hadn't gone for a shallow swim. Glad to see that AMXAUTOX is still doing well, really helped me out during a low point in my life. I do miss the wild conversations that would go pages deep, every now and then I stop by and lurk for a bit.

If any of y'all are out and about next year, the MoParty deal in Bowling Green would be a great place to stop by!

I hardly post anymore. I've found in the 20 years I've been on moparts that everything tech has been covered many many times over and I have a hard time finding any motivation to rehash. Youtube and the rest of the internet has helped tremendously with a lot of generic tech help as well. I think part of it as well is the old car market has soured me a bit on helping out. Around here it's all flippers and overpriced financial black holes that have sucked the joy out of the hobby.

Same here. I browsed the political section a bit and a lot of the posters in there who I thought were okay guys were the first ones to resort to personal attacks and insults the second someone chimed in with a different opinion. It's sad but people go online looking for someone to argue with. Nobody's going in there looking to learn or possibly have their opinion swayed. There's plenty of other internet platforms for that drivel yet I would be lying if I said that behavior didn't make me lose a lot of respect for those people, regardless of whether or not I agreed with the position they were trying to argue.

I am fully aware of the sexual reference. I was wondering what member went by the name as I don't recall the person.

I was a lurker for a little while before I signed up in 2005. Don't post much since my knowledge pool is as shallow as a bird bath compared to a lot of folks here, but I read the board daily. I just always figured the decrease in traffic was due to competing venues like social media and that the hobby is cost prohibitive for young guys to pick up. Seriously, who the hell out of college has the money for a B body let alone parts? The moment these cars began to become investments is when interest started to wane.

Where is Doc Fiberglass?
Not that I like the guy but JohnRR used to be a frequent contributor but has been conspicuously absent.
Cal Gecko used to post about his Dart and post some great pictures.
Wes Hutchingson, Street Van Dan, In the Pink, Paint it Black, MickM, Sandy in NS......
I expected to see more activity with all the shutdowns and such.


Whaaaat's up? I haven't been here in a while - honestly, lost interest in the Dart - the fuel sending unit seal caused fuel to leak all over my garage a few years back, and after finally being able to find a replacement sending unit (it took me about 6 months to find one), I went to install it and found that the fuel line fitting size was the wrong size - and I have just not gotten around to ordering a new one, and now I'm discouraged to even bother because I know all that gas has probably gunked up my fuel lines and carb, and just can't be bothered. Additionally, I got burned on cars when I had someone I thought was a friend, doing an engine swap in my wife's '66 mustang (going from a straight six to a 5.0 out of an Explorer), and he totally screwed me over (after taking 2 years to do a butcher job on the swap) to the tune of about $4k... so I've just been super discouraged on the old cars. Also, been focusing on photography work, making some side cash doing that and keeping myself busy.

Hope you guys are all doing well and taking care of yourselves during these rough times.


Hey Cal, what’s up buddy? Don’t get discouraged on the Dart, [censored] happens. That’s a nice looking car. Why not post some your cool pics so the newer members can see them.
