Speaking of someone who knows it all, you can kiss my CTD's tail pipe

What do you drive by the way since your ashamed to put in your signture???
I currently drive a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP Competition Group edition.... brand new goes for about $32k... paid $19,999 for it with under 38k on it.... certified pre-owned and I know the previous owner...

When I went looking for a vehicle, the only thing Dodge had in the same range was the Charger or the Chrysler 300....and they all wanted 25k for a vehicle with 40k+ on it.... and I was trading ina vehicle...

Previous vehicles to that...

2002 Dodge Stratus R/T
2001 Dodge Dakota Clubcab - Motorsports Edition
2000 Dodge Dakota Sport
1996 Chevy Beretta Z26
1989 Chrysler Lebaron GTC


And I've just been lazy about updating my signature, since I created it...

That's just **** poor business acumen right there.

That's the same as a dealership saying, "We will sell you what we want to sell you, not what you want / need."
And whining about stupid Off Topic posts is acting adult? Or better yet, threatening this that or the other is considered the right thing to do?

Think about it, you're complaining about where posts are stored....
If you feel that the users of the forum are COMPLAINING for voicing their displeasure with the administration of the site, then you are the one missing the point.

1 - You are not the only game in town. I come to this specific section of this forum because there are a lot of great folks in here, that's it. Those folks that I associate with also know where to find me elsewhere. Those same folks I'd help out in a heartbeat.

2 - I don't threaten anything, certainly not on a forum, it's not worth my time. If it's something I say, it's something I'll back. My bags are packed, so it's no skin off my back. You're the admin, just push the delete button.

3 - As far as acting "adult", your approach is the same as punishing a classroom full of children for the actions of one child. Again, what do you even have mod's on this site for if they are not actually going to MODERATE?

Damm you don't hold on to a ride long do you, not that there isanything wrong with changing every year.

I still have my 94 DAK going with 222000 miles on it, before that it was a 85 Mustang with 11700 on a four banger that would eat up a V-8 in the curves, before that 66 Chevy PU with 334500 miles on it when I sold it and my white CTD will be here a long time if the Lord is willing and the creek I'm crossing doesn't raise

We know this, and if we were trying to be the only game in town, this would most likely be a Ram only site....or a CTD site...but thats not the case. Virtually 3/4 of the CTD members are members at other sites...we know this. I kept coming back to this site for that very same reason.

You just made my point. Since you dont get your way, you're basically pushing the buttons to get yourself booted so you can say look it wasnt my fault blah blah blah.... Leave if you want... I'm sorry you arent happy with this decision, but it was being enforced when I joined this forum. We simply stopped enforcing it and look where it got us...

Let's think about this for a minute, it's one of the largest holidays of the year....and I'd bet MOST of those mods are out enjoying time with their families. I happen to be here, and a few others.... more to the point, it's not our Moderators jobs to babysit your posts..... If I have to check every single post because it gets out of hand....then whats the point? What about times when there arent anyone on and we find bad posts? We're supposed to wait?

The simple truth of the matter is that its easier to simply follow one rule, then make a bunch of exceptions.This wasnt my decision, this was BIG ADMIN's decision. It's easier to manage and I'm sorry that you dislike it.


The harsh truth here is that this is really being blown way out of proportion. Most of what you know will stay the same, with the exception of some really Off Topic posts..... if that's the reason you get your panties in a wad.... there's nothing I can do for ya....... What'll be next? Because you cant have multiple vehicle galleries you're going to spam the photo gallery section?

1998 -Wrecked the LeBaron - blew a head gasket in 99
2001 - Bought my Z26
2003 - Switched to the Dakota Sport (Z26 had been beat down by racing too much)
2004- Upgraded to a larger ClubCab Dakota
2005 - Hurricane Katrina prompted a more MPG based vehicle - Stratus R/T
2006 - My daughter was born, needed a 4dr... otherwise I'd still have the Stratus...

Hell, I wish I still had my 01 Dakota, but gas prices would kill me....and I cant even begin to imagine diesel fuel.....altho I pay premium in my current car...

Now, did you also notice that that individual is not a "usual" member in the CTD section?

Of course not, it's someone outside that thinks it's silly because they aren't part of it but it's backing up your point of view.

That is what causes issues. Nobody wants to hear crap from someone that has no business making the comment in the first place.

So, because he's not a member of the royal family his opinion doesnt matter? I'll bet you'll tell me next that because he drives a Red Ram and likes asian women that he shouldnt be allowed to drive on Wednesdays too....

Do you realize how stupid that sounds????

We're arguing over a few off topic posts......which is about as stupid as it gets..

I guess when there post count goes way down, since this is one of the more active sections, and it starts costing them ad dollars they may change there mind. Since there are so few issues with my truck, the only reason why I really come here is comraderie I guess I will go back to my hermit ways, espically after looking at the OT section what a bunch of crap "I asked my black friend why he supports Obama".
