    Let's all take a deep breath and remember that the place to be controversial, stubborn, and difficult at F-chat is in the P&R section. Not here.

    Let's check our baggage at the door when you get to the 348/355 section so we can celebrate the diversity of thoughts on why we like the cars and owning them. This is not a new problem in this section. It is not like that in the other sections...

    There is no need for dick measuring in here or implying anyone is better or worse than anyone else. I would guess that most owners here are excited about the cars and their history, and sometimes disappointed with a glitch or problem they encounter. There is s great support system here most of the time with GREAT knowledge.

    Lots of things are subjective. And I don't think there are absolute's on most topics that come up. We could argue about everything or nothing...

    So first rule is that there has to be mutual respect on the board. There is no need to be negative or disparaging. Otherwise, many will get turned off and stop contributing.

    This is a fun place for me. I'd like to see it not turn into P&R.

    Anyone who's spent a fair amount of time in the Mondial forum will recognize the experience that you're looking for. :)

    Robb,

    I recently almost created the same thread. I'll admit - I get way too caught up in the BS and I need to turn a blind eye and not fuel the fire.

    Thanks for the reminder and eye opening.

    Be well :)

    Unfortunately that has already happened. A couple years ago this section was different than it is now. It is unfortunate.

    I have a question about your luggage. Does or did anyone actually use it as luggage?

    Hear, hear!

    I'm more of a lurker in this section, but I browse it often. It's much nicer when folks get along. :)

    I refer you all to the infinite wisdom of The Muppets! :D

    Has anyone put their car up for winter yet? I think I'll give mine a final wash tomorrow and put her to sleep.

    I use mine until the first time salt goes down on the roads, then I don't bring it out again until after the 1st heavy rain.

    No. It's mint. But I (underlined) will use it as luggage AND keep it nice.
