Default Re: Is .org dying a slow death?

Forums like this do have a limited life span....just is. When the cars are new there's a lot of excitement but that can't continue as the cars age & people move on.
I was part of the PT Cruiser craze back when that car first appeared but rarely visit those forums any more...same questions getting asked all over again so there's really nothing to contribute that hasn't already come up.

Having said that, I'm new here & only bought a Crossfire recently because I ran across a smokin' deal. Always wanted one, but $$$ stood in my way.
Since I joined up I've found this forum to be a great resource. I've successfully identified and fixed issues using the information that I found here and that has been very satisfying. I've also made some new friends and been made to feel welcome. I suspect there are quite a few new owners like myself that are late to the game but just as enthusiastic as the "old timers" were when they first got their cars, and since the cars are older they need all the more help.

A few things I've been able to accomplish purely as a result of access to this forum:
Purchased and installed CAI, TB & catch can with the help of a member who offered to drive 2 hours to hang out in my driveway. THANKS BEANER!
Removed headlights, polished them up and got the upgraded seal kit installed
Found a bunch of photos to help me decide on the aftermarket grille style to buy
Traced factory stereo wiring to find out how badly the aftermarket head unit was hacked in....this is a work in progress!
Disassembled my fog lamps to fix the silver cap issue

And there's much more.
Without the info here I'd still be trying to figure out how to get the bottom 2 bolts out of my headlights!
I can't tell you folks how grateful I am, but I can tell you I plan on being around for a while and helping along any other new owners however I can. It's the community that really counts!
