Hey!! Three shows a night and still has time for cars! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] </div></div>

I think you guys confused our beloved Stefano Bimbi with the not-so-luscious aging pole dancer <span style="font-weight: bold">Stefani Bimbo</span>. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Still not liking the change. Many boards have certain similarities that can be helpful in navigating for those of us that are computer impaired. This board included, until the change. Problem is, on the Net, is that way too many take for granted that we all possess their computer savvy when they set up these boards. Remember, many us us are merely car guys with a computer, and NOT a computer guy with a car. BIG difference. Similar issues make a lot of current car magazines suck. Yesteryear, real car guys wrote, nowadays, writers try to understand cars, and therefore write some hardy understandable jibberish. As a kid, I understood more of what I read in car magazines than I do now, after years of being a mechanic/drag racer. Sad. How will today's kids get an interest to carry the torch if they don't understand what they're reading? And please, before you go on as to how I should keep a Dictionary next to my Hot Rod mag.....education in ridiculous wording is NOT why I read those magazines. If I have to stop every tenth word to look something up, I lose interest in the story at hand. Therefore diminishing the entertainment I seek by reading magazines of that type. Rant over. Back to the original issue....remember, some of us are mere car guys with minimal computer savvy when you make these changes

Geez, are you still bitching about the site changes? You obviously need some real problems in your life if this is all you have to complain about.

So, difficulties here..... diminish the distraction from the real problems. That make sense?

You are entitled to your opinion, and you have made your point several times. It is time to move on.

Would you drive without a license? How about SCUBA dive without being certified?

I'm sure you did not always know everything you now know about cars. You had to learn it. Computers are the same way. If you do not want to learn, then stop complaining about not knowing how to use a computer.

I am patient with those who are trying to learn. Unfortunately, it sounds like you do not want to learn how to use a computer better and want everyone else to cater to that. Ignorance can be fixed by learning, being stubborn is a different ball of wax.

Jason </div></div>I've navigated my way through many boards, for many years just fine, until the change on this one. I'm very passionate about cars, and love discussing them and learning about them. But, when there's a change as radical as this one, it puts a damper on that. Does any of this make any sense? Or are all you guys computer whizzes? It's kinda like stopping an engine rebuild to take a 3 hour course on re-learning the use of a torque wrench

Groucho made an excellent point...and if you want him to move on, why keep adding to the thread?
