Do any of the long term members of Moparts know what happened to Mopar Jamie? I know he caught a lot of flak from members here. Just wondering if anyone has kept in contact with him, and how has he been doing? It was sure entertaining while he was on the board. I remember him posting and people giving him crap, seemed like i recall he had alot of projects and wasn't sure what direction he was going at the time. I remember him going in all the directions

I just remember that dude being a complete train wreck. We all know the type. Asks for advice; receives "Advice-A". Completely ignores it and does "Something Stupid-B". Then asks "What went wrong?" I have no amount of tolerance for those types.
I admit I was of the same mind and was infuriated more than once. Later on I asked myself "What if his goal was to be a trainwreck?" If that is his goal, then maybe things worked out, and it doesn't matter if I can relate to it. After that... he became more entertaining and I liked his posts more, and would sometimes encourage him to take even more shortcuts.

If someone posted a picture of me and I was missing some teeth, I'd expect to be teased about it. Quit being a bunch of triggered wimps. Maybe missing some teeth is what you need to straighten out your attitude.

I seem to recall when he disappeared he was having woman problems. That'll do it to anybody.

I liked his posts more, and would sometimes encourage him to take even more shortcuts. LOL! It was a colorful time on Moparts back then. He has a love of Mopars, and found quite a few of them. They just happened to be the ones 99.9% of most people, didn't care for.

I think he got a taste of sex and after that he dumped Moparts. It's common practice to date your cousins in that area. Maybe that was part of the problem.

I don't get on here much, but being a member circa 2000-ish, I am busting up reading this post and it's good to see some old, familiar feces... er faces. I saw "Mopar Jamie" and had to give it a click. No disappointments. People's memories fade. People were just as offended then as they have been in this post. Or do we need a post entitled, "Who from 2000 is no longer here and why." I think this site would still be rocking it if there was a mobile version AKA FBBO, FABO etc. No slight to Tom, but the computer is in our pocket now. Has been for a decade.
I’m listening.

Always enjoyed that guy .Back when Moparts was fun and not just a bunch of angry old cranks. There have always been the curmudgeons on these forums but there also were fun and entertaining members in equal amounts to drown them out. Too many guys don't know how to have fun anymore. Being sarcastic and silly is somehow out of bounds for these people. They can go ahead and be angry and sad all the time. I laugh and smile frequently and am much happier for it. There is a direct correlation between a happy soul and good health. I'd bet that the biggest critics here have multiple health issues. It seems for some, as the color fades from the hair, the humor goes with it. I don't get offended by most things. That is why I am happier than most people. It's hard to discern the difference between sarcasm and banter vs someone who is a genuine [censored] in this medium. The guys that got me into this hobby are into their 70s now - none of their humor has been lost and still roll with the punches.

Tough crowd! Reminds me why I never post pictures of myself. I have a missing front tooth as well. It got broke off back when I was about 8 years old. The biggest problem was, about 6 months before that one got broken off, I broke the other front tooth off as well. The 1st tooth mom & dad got fixed properly, and it was expensive even way back then. They were still making payments on that one when I broke off the 2nd tooth. The 2nd tooth wasn't properly fixed, I'm sure money was involved, but the fix the dentist did lasted until I was in my early 20s before it failed. By then I was the person on he hook to pay. Money for my family was pretty tight then, so we opted for another less then perfect fix. By the time that one failed, the tooth was starting to self destruct. The "proper fix" then involved the teeth on both sides of the self destructing tooth. My dentist at the time insisted that the other front tooth needed to have a route cannel (which was done when it was fixed the 1st time, and then done again about 5 years before that appointment by my dentist, when the original stud pulled out and had to be replaced). He kept telling me that tooth was a natural tooth! His estimated bill was over $20 K, and that was after the estimated insurance payment. No thanks.
At 65 YO, replacing that pretty much missing tooth isn't a very high priority.

He was the one guy who made everyone else feel as though they had nothing to complain about. Hope he is doing well.
