I have heard of this happening to other people and they had to go to COURT to get partially reimbursed. I think the mob runs the EZ-Pass racket.

Yeah, it's expensive to own a hyper car. My old boss has his Mclaren towed from MD to PA and back for a $10k oil change and thinks nothing of it.

I like the junkyard Chrysler. I see all the work that went into the interior and engine bay. IMO it took a lot of skill to pull that off.

I am confused (happens a lot) are you talking rims or tires? Everyone is talking about the raised lettering on the tires, you keep mentioning rims. I have seen good and bad printed parts, tires, bodies, engines. Too many people are trying to make a quick buck and print garbage. 3D printing, for the model industry, isn't where it needs to be just yet (IMO), at least not on a broad scale. However, it does keep getting better and sometimes cheaper.

FORUM CHANGES THREAD

We have been working on how to reword the descriptions to a lot of the areas. There are a few larger tasks that we have been focusing on, we will get it sorted out eventually. -
FORUM CHANGES THREAD

We discussed combining LSR with Drag Racing, but eventually decided against it. This was partly because drag racing is side by side racing for quickest time and LSR is solo run for top speed. We may tweak things in the future. -
Moderation lengths vary and sometimes we have it as random. We currently have it set longer because of the amount of spammers and bots joining the site. This still does not catch them all.

I follow Royalty Auto Service on FB. I think they are in Georgia. They preach diagnose to be sure, before you start replacing. Every year there are fewer and fewer competent mechanics. There are very few that I trust to work on my personal vehicles, especially my old (60's) cars. Manufacturers can program those computers to spit out all kinds of random codes.

If it is coming across as possible spam, it might be as simple as whitelisting the domain name.

We have discussed new emojis and will see what is available after the next big software update. There is a new version coming soon, but we are not going to update right away. Hopefully let some other boards work out the bugs.

Slight revision to the rules. Everyone please read through them again.

Searching for tags is just as simple. 1. While viewing topics, if you see a tag that catches your eye, you can click on it and it will show all topics using that tag, 2. You can also use the forum search function. Simply click on the magnifying glass in the search bar to open the detailed search functions. 3. Click "Search By Tags" and enter the tag you would like to find. All topics with that tag attached will be displayed.

(This is an updated tutorial, with photos, of a previously posted topic) Want to add tags, to make your topic more easily searchable by the forum software, but don't know how? Just follow the EASY steps below (Windows PC; Other devices may be slightly different): 1. Make sure you are in the correct forum area and click the "Start new topic" button. 2. Enter the title of your topic and then click the "Add tags..." button just below the title. Best to do it right after you name the topic, so you don't forget. 3. Enter the tags (numbers and lower case letters only) by following the posted directions. You can add up to 4 tags. Keep them simple, 1 or 2 words. No need to use quotes. Examples: hot rod, custom, mopar, amt, truck. You get the point. 4. Finish creating your post and then hit the "Submit Topic" button. That is all you have to do, you have now added tags to your topic. Tags can be added to previously posted topics, but only within the editing window time frame.

Let me know how you like it. I am a Mopar guy, but had a bad experience with an older truck (death rattle) that has kept me from getting another one.
