Well, I find I like this site. Colours are nicer to!

My threads may have come across hilarious on PT because

A: Perhaps the people do not really understand what I am trying to get at
B: Some stuff may have simply been dumb though at the time with the education at that time was not dumb (learning process).

Wow I'm surprised so many here dislike p-t. Both sites have a lot of the same members and you see a lot of the same project threads and for sale threads.

I check both sites every day. All I use are the "today's posts" link to see what's new, and the search function to look up something specific.

I've never noticed any drama on p-t. I post more there because it's more active and I don't feel the need to make the same threads on both sites.

Your threads on PT were hilarious.

"What if I throw 200k at my Charger, will it beat a supercar?"
"I'm buying a 355 to race it"
"Scratch that, I'm gettin a Ford GT"
"Ok, final answer I want a Mutt-stang"

What’s next?
That's some funny shiat.

I'm smellin what your cookin Ron... wait, was that comment too close to home?

Here is another of George's funny comments from PT:

"Buying a corvette is stupid when I could just drive a ferrari around. "

Nice one, George.

G - maybe try yellowbullet.com. Plenty of tube chassis over there.

For me this is where I am daily. I belong to and frequent PT and Team Camaro but this is MY favorite. You guysW crack me up plus there is way less drama over here.



FWIW I also like the "today's posts" over there and hate that I have issues with the "new posts" tab here working on my iPad. Jody, you gotta find a fix for that. This is the only site I have that problem with. :-)

Don't sweat it. Just sit back and read through some of the builds. Think about putting a clear list of goals for your car together. Take your time thinking about what you need to know before you ask.

There is a lot of talent lurking on here. Just like life in the real world you will either like the crowd and hang out, decide it isn't for you and move on or be burned at the cross.

Was more or less for me, where do I find guys that win races, build race cars, know how to design chassis etc, which forum is more of that to be found on, or is that a void question as those people would be too busy to be on either forum
The people with the real knowledge about how to do that stuff are either old guys who don't know how to use the internet, or are guys that are too busy building and designing tube chassis race cars (and going to Hawaii), etc. to have time to post on here

I am joking, well maybe not really.
