I definitely think it's mostly geographical. Been in town running errands for an hour and without even trying I've seen 8 including 2 verts, not including the car I'm driving. |

I remember you telling that story, but didn't know it was an LHS. I know some people that will only sell a car if the buyer follows them to not only the notary to sign it over, but also the title department and sign it into the buyer's name. I even knew someone that paid to have it put into their name so she didn't have to worry about anything falling back on her! That poor Metro... at least you extended it's life a little bit. It's probably not running by now. |

I noticed that! Lots of monster new luxury vehicles; especially on the beltway near DC. When I stopped at the WaWa in town, I was surrounded by them as well. However, like I told you, I did see the one red newer Metro hatch that looked JUST like yours in the Rent-A-Center furniture place (or whatever it was) parking lot. |

You blokes got it all wrong. GMF had eight-hundred and something members when I joined. Now it is what, around 15,000-16,000? If Johnny's predictions are correct, next year membership is projected to be 23,000. In two years there will be more than 112,000 members. Do I have to think of everything?!

The vast majority of those thousands of members are not active. There have been thousands since I've been here - many of them spammers. In general, several folks believe that there were many more active members at the time than there are now. I couldn't say - I've only been here a few months over a year.

112,000? That's an awful lot of Nike ads.

Exactly! Get up early one morning and notice all the posts about Nike, and whatever BS thing somebody is trying to sell. By sun up, our great mods have usually dispatched them. The task is akin to Whack a Mole, I'd say. Each one of those ads is a new "member". Thank you mods.

In this same vein, I gotta say I miss Coche's posts, even when he was kinda being an a$$... And Ptaptb... The loss of some of the reliable humor has affected the tenor of the site. |

I am only seeing about 1 page a day now for active topics. I remember when there were always at least four pages. Yea, the community is shrinking. God bless those who are still here though... |

Some of us are just low-profile or semi-seasonal these days also. I have very little to report on my Blue MK1 anymore because I got to the point where I just drive it. Haven't had to put a wrench to it in a long time (knock on wood!) And I don't have a lot to contribute to a lot of the conversations because... MK1... but I am still around and still putting miles on the blueberry express!
