Does anyone do "research" on the forums anymore?

I see it every day.
Someone will post: WTB "440 manifold, years 68-69-70"

The add will read like that above.
Sometimes it will read, ASAP

And yet; a week ago someone "posts" : For Sale, Mopar 400 manifold, 68-69-70
the original WTB poster doesn't even do a search for the item.


My point is, doesn't anyone do a little research?
At least, say to themselves.."I wonder if there are already some listed for sale"?

I suppose this is the new generation...
Oh well.
 
Yep, the same goes for guestions too.

"What motor oil do you use?"

"What size tire fits under my car?"

"Engine running hot!"

Hundreds of threads on these questions and more. Funny thing is that there are threads listed at the bottom of the page where the question is being asked...
 
i have these tires , will they fit?

I have this car that doesn't start , what could be wrong?
 
Or the best yet is," Which Sliders to buy Afco or Speedway for my Caltracs"? Research away, any retard would know that they are both the same setup's but one is twice the money with the wrong bushings.

Caltracs? Is that something you find in a pasture?



Anyone got a 68-69 440 manifold for sale?

PM sent...

True, but then, you get the wisea$$ that gets on and says "That thread is 73 years old!" or something equally stupid. So, if the guy uses the "search" function (which sucks on a LOT of sites!) and FINDS his topic in question and posts to it, then he gets ragged for bringing up an "old" thread. Either way, ya don't win.
 
Steven is shouting so we can hear him...... he is in Canada ehh..
 
Whenever the same old questions pop up from Inexperienced car guys, I remember Basic training. When it was over, I think, yes, I'm out! Then I think, that sad Drill Instructor has to watch a whole new group of civilians that don't have a clue as to what they have to do get off the Bus, and start it all over again, over and over. It could be worse.
 
Hi there, I'm a noobie around here.....anyone know if it's even possible to find out how many green Coronets were made? Oh ya, and my electronic ignition no longer works. What heat range spark plugs does my stripe delete bucket seat need? Any ideas??? Sitting here patiently waiting for advice and answers. :icon_basketball:
