It goes in cycles. It's the holidays and there are special deals going on and it's helpful to know what they are.

The week of "Black Friday" there was a ton of threads consisting of new parts for sale. Somehow, I made it though it without buying anything. That was tough to do.

It's allowed in the rules. We're limited to the amount we can post though.

It pays the bills around here.

It's one of the benefits of being a supporting vendor - and as long as it helps keep this site free for the rest of us, I don't have any problems with the parts posts outside of the C5 Parts for Sale section. I can always just skip over those posts if I'm not interested.

All is good, I have done a little more shopping than I should. So says my wife. Thanks to all the supporting venders. I think I'm getting headers next I wonder how I'm going to get those babies installed without the "BOSS". Spotting me
Cheers

Just like people, after this many years, replacing "parts" is your primary focus.

I don't mind it at all....at least the grammar and spelling are usually correct. What irks me more are the cellphone typos, lack of capitalization, and missing punctuation from folks too lazy to compose a decent message on their so-called devices.

That's why I like the way the forum is organized - -even if it is a vendor pitch in the General section - -you know from the title and depending upon your needs either read it or skip it.

It's more commonly the forum members- and newbies in particular- that either don't know the layout to realize there are parts and cars for sale sections or most often, aren't aware of the "search" function and post the same questions every week . . .

Rant over - -

CLIFFS: yeah- more parts talk this time of year- but read it or skip it.

I don't buy from the venders here for this reason alone. Except GM Parts House only because they are local.

I don't understand your mentality. Some of the supporting vendors have GREAT products and services, but you won't support our supporting vendors because they post ads in various sections?! IMHO, you are missing out on great stuff. I upgraded most of my exterior lighting, with a majority of parts coming from JM Motoring. I've had hydro graphics done by Pat at American Hydrocarbon. I wouldn't have known about these guys if not for their posts.

But hey, to each his own...you do your thing, I'll do mine...

Maybe its just me but is seems that the C5 general sction has almost turned into the C5 parts section dont mean to be out of line on this but just saying........ Sorry....

to clear things up on my post for you.. "sction" should be spelled "section" You can also add a period "." after the second C5 parts section. Put a capital "D" on don't , add a period "." after on , delete the word "but" and add "I'm" before "just" hopefully this corrects a few things for you and you will be a little less "irked"

irk
verb irritate, annoy, aggravate (informal), provoke, bug (informal), put out (informal), gall, ruffle, nettle, vex, rile, peeve (informal), get on your nerves (informal), nark (Brit., Austral., & N.Z. slang), miff (informal), be on your back (slang), **** you off (taboo slang), get in your hair (informal), rub you up the wrong way (informal), put your nose out of joint (informal), get your back up, put your back up The rehearsal process irked him increasingly.
