My thoughts exactly.
It is a shame there was only one person who disagreed with those thoughts ....

Keith:
You should be angry, not disappointed..... What he did was just insulting to all the members of that forum.
The "owner" was asked several times if he would like to transfer the site to someone else that would show more interest in running the site, but his ego would never let that happen. Instead, he just chose to leave all the members in a lurch, without regard to anyone.
I hope he is happy with his decision.
He is truly a legend in his own mind......
And mightyjlr's refusal to respond to mbepic's request for his contest prize is just about the same, in my opinion. If you are broke, say so. If the prize never came through from the sponsor, say so. But say something!!!! And with all the posts concerning this site going away, wouldn't it make sense to just show some common courtesy and make a statement about the status of the domain registration???? I am sorry, I just don't get it.....

He finally "took his marbles and left" ... as someone emailed to me.

Good to see some of you back here. I to, was registered over at ********, and just like here I lurked around and enjoyed the posts and got some ideas. I do chirp up from time to time when necessary.
By the way mbepic, I took your idea with the exhaust and ran with it. However I took the resonator off and ran straight pipes with a 4" tip or "can" off the back it is sweet. It resonates like a you know what inside, but a like the sound of good exhaust and beside we don't actually have a lux. ride, it is sporty and you feel everything so why not feel the exhaust.
I am getting ready to put a custom black cherry metallic paint on the ride then I will only drive it a couple time during the week.
Take car all!

AZ outlaw was the biggest a-hole I had ever met on any online forum. Anyone that followed him obviuosly didn't know what kind of arrogant a$$hole he was/is. You folks that left, remember some of you were babies and were running from the bad mouthed "young people" on this site. As you now see, the grass is not greener. I welcome you back as I am sure you have learned a good life lesson from all of this.
