Rusty;..... " compendium " ?? That's not even in my " Funk n' Wagnells " . I think that's one of the medications I'm on.
Sorry... didn't mean to run afoul of my true nature.
Yeah, this place is a compendium of information.
There's more stuff here about people's experiences with driving, tuning, modifying, restoring, buying, selling, building, and crushing vans than anywhere else I can think of.
Besides that, it gives people like me access to some guys that have been doing this van thing since I was a little kid seeing my first black Chevy van with a dragon on the side in the late 70s.
I'm with Kursed on the reading and carrying on conversations thing.
(Obviously, right? lol)
It always bugged me when someone would come into a group, ask a question, then be told to "Use the search".
As if the forum wasn't a place to talk.
I get the Jeep forums where every new guy wants to know what his Jeep will look like with a 2" lift, or "what wheels fit my YJ/TJ/JK/JLmnop", but that's different. There are 10 of those a day.
It was really silly to try to "use the search" only to find that question where the only answer was "use the search".
Kursed is right about the camaraderie.
I feel like many of you are friends, and I've never met any of you in person (at least, not that I'm aware of).
I don't get that from Facebook groups.
That's actually a surprise to me because I would think it would be the other way around.
