[Shotimes] WAY OT- TCCA

Tue, 24 Jun 2003 16:07:22 -0500

Bob,

I didn't mean to come off as cocky.  In fact that same night I listed all of
my mods in the "bragging rights" post on SHOforum.  After doing so much,
it's hard to remember a lot of the smaller things.  I'm not even sure the
list on SHOforum is complete.

I posted in your Super Vulc post and found that most were less then
interested.  It seems that people actually don't want to move beyond intakes
and exhausts.  My car is fast because of what I have and I will answer
anyone that wants to know what I have on it.  I am not the type of person
that walks around and says that there car is "stock" when asked what they
did to make it fast.  No one learns that way.

On the same token, I don't get any challenge from TCCA.  It's no fun when
it's one person making all the technical posts and then when you do make a
technical post everyone is dumbfounded and confused and no one replies.

This isn't TCCA bashing, rather it's just the TCCA.  It's the truth.  I
don't hate anyone on that forum or look down on it, which is the assumption
you seem to have made.  I made a lot of friends there back in the old days,
but the content has gone from bad to worse.

Email me something I can do to help you, tech articles, posting questions,
stirring up new topics, etc, and I'm happy to help, but until I see that
there is some kind of knowledge being gained I will continue to be a SHO
Forum/ SHO times list/ SHOcago junky and stand by what I said.
