freeride53: stupid hipster?

[E30 Wagen]

I voted for the one in French. I don't know what it says.

[Herr Faust Schinken]

it means this is the most beautiful car

[Vivek]

I voted for the one in French. I don't know what it says.

It means "it's the prettiest car". I voted that one just cuz I knew what it meant.

There is a 30 pack of PBR in that volvo.

[freeride53]

Bump. I'm gonna have to fly home in a few weekends to find a storage place where I can park it for the next coupla' years as I'm trading my American Apparel for a suit and tie.

:(

TL;DR: car looks less hipster now, more 80s-yuppie-who-bought-peugeot-instead-of-bmw

[FredK]

heh, I remember when you had to rebuild it. It looks good.

freeride53 all grow'd up. :sniff:

This is a really nice thread.

We get a little bit of Fredk, though I want to see Fred's counterpart (the other K brother), we get a little bit of Hipster Sina, we get to see dislike for 5toes, and it's a three-year-old thread.

It's just great.

Absafuckinglutely he is and also part of the great decline of r3v, but hey at least we're not bimmerforums

I was just thinking to myself the other day that r3v seems to be on the decline.

I think it's just an experience thing... the longer you are here, the more you look at the past through rose tinted glasses.

Someone needs to drifto between two semi's, pope some tires, and liven this place up.

Whatever. Just thinking out loud.

Nice looking peugeot. I'd rock it.

After watching top gear the other night I want one haha

[AndrewBird]

I say we bring back Jordan and let all you noobs see just what r3v was REALLY like.

I think a lot of forums are on the decline, especially those that attract a lot of younger folk, a demographic that prefers to make build threads on Instagram than on a forum. Also, R3v Facebook is more of an outlet for a lot of people than the forum, especially because it is often far more efficient at getting questions answered than the forum. You can post a video or picture of your issue, something that isn't nearly as straightforward trying to share on vBulletin.

I hate that a lot of the questions could easily be answered by searching the forum, but if you're surfing on a phone, Tapatalk sucks for searching, and the full forum requires a lot of zooming just to enter a simple query.

So, is this the death knell for R3v? I hope not. I hope it just leaves us old codgers that pine for the old days and people like RUFFLZ can get off our fuckin' lawns.

jk I still like RUFFLZ

Every forum I've visited or frequented over the last 10 years has either gone soft, slowed waaay down, or died entirely.

[Cabriolet]

Im here to say that i love 5 toes. and that sina is a goonsquadhipster. he is nice but his life decisions of driving an m42 keep me for loving him.

[freeride53]

Thanks for all the <3 gays

But I must concur: I get my questions answered very conveniently, and quickly on R3V's Facebook group. Same goes with Turbobricks (the Volvo forum I frequent).

Is it the death of the Message Board as we know it? Maybe so my friends, maybe so.
