    Still here, never left, just always lurking. I agree with making the site a little more aggressive, but I also see how that could steer away most new people that are just joining a forum for the first time. It was fine for weeding out the weak in the past when there were hundreds of people joining weekly, but now that there are tens we're going to end up with barely 1 or 2 people that stick around

      Sick, are you going to sign up for the fall rally this year?

      I've done the Oregon and Utah rally's with them, but the eastern ones are a long drive...

                Yes, definitely doing the fall rally with them. I am going to try and bring my e36 M3 for that one, but if I cant get it ready in time then I will bring the e30.

                I also did Daypass in Oregon this past May and it was a blast.

                    I don't have a personal facebook account, but maybe somebody could make a post every once in a while encouraging people to at least post some of their cars in the Members Rides section?

                    My car is away for paint, and I'm installing coilovers once I get it back, but after all that I'll be updating my thread.

                          Yes, I can never find anything I have looked at more that two days ago. Lost in FB land:)
                          We need to think about supporting this forum with time and money. Any idea how to do the money part?

                              I must admit that my M-Tech 2 coupe has had the engine out since 2017.

                              Luckily I have a S50 swapped sedan to keep me entertained.

                              It's true, running a shop doesn't lead to much personal car work getting done.

                                probably the most relatable sentiment ever. :/
