In todays reading and posting I just realized that the Forum really needs a section specializing in "Anger Management" . There are far too many uptight members and a section to vent in might be benificial to all. This place was meant to be a good time and some folks loose sight of that as well as patience.

Now I can't imagine what the conversations would be like in such a group. One can only guess... Maybe the moderators would allow such a group to bend the rules a bit as far as freedom of speech as it were.

there is another forum that I belong to that has a section/thread called, "Blow Off Valve" or "BOV. Its definition is: tirades, rants, and blowing off steam goes here.

Frankly, I think it's a darned good idea.

We try and stay away from stuff like that because it always turns into a personal attack on someone.

Off Topic and Politics,Religion & Controversy would be the place to talk about things other than cars.

Or here's a better idea, get out and drive the damn things, relieve some stress on the track or a deserted parking lot.

Default Speaking of a forum addition

I think it would be cool to have a sort of "tools of the trade" section for people to discuss gear. I've seen it on other forums, but I really only care about what CF thinks!

I have read through some posts recently where guys asking questions were immediately told to go buy the factory service manual. If we all had them, there would be no need for tech/perf section. It's as if some people are maybe just chiming in with their .02 just to feel superior. I feel if someone doesn't have something helpful to add, or something humerous,(I'm OK with that) just don't post.

Too many self important a**holes.

lt4red has it right on! I just purchased my helms just a few weeks ago and is a great help but I come here to see what worked for others too. Helms doesn't have all the tricks or quite frankly the cool things that some of the other members here have done in pictures and in description. Everyone here at the forum is a great help but remember everyone was new at some point so cut some slack and play well together. Its the car that brought us all here so keep the help and the suggestions coming and keep the negativity somewhere else. Just my .02 worth.

Anger management for me is punching the gas in 3rd to pass the punk who just cut me off on the freeway, and then passing everyone else just for the heck of it. (my always favorite smiley)

Not only that but take it from someone who's dealt with service manuals throughout my whole career. They are not always correct, consise nor do they have all the answers. Yes, anyone who plans to work on a car this complex regularly had better get one but they're not the end-all.
