[Bowtie Guy]

Definitely
Good old days !!!

 

[vortecd]

I know american graffiti very well. Even seen the 2nd a few times. The whole story line with milner at the drags strip is great. If not for that movie Star Wars may never have happened. Cars and Star Wars about sums up my life

It has not gone unnoticed that the membership in large part is no longer focused on our cars.

Many of us have grown weary of it, despite, at least for me, my general agreement and support with/for most of the topics.

Some members have voiced a desire to leave because of it, and it's not just a select few either. We don't have a robust enough membership to start loosing a bunch of primary members and have a viable forum.


To the points::

• If you're creating a thread that is "political" in nature, it needs to be in the "Anything Goes" sub-forum.
• If your innocent thread somehow becomes political, it will be moved to Anything Goes.
  • If your thread isn't about cars, or some funny cow slipping on the ice, or cat slapping a printer, there's a good chance it's political.
    • Yes, there are topics about cars that are political, but they were about cars first, so they may be ok... may...
• If you can't speak without using decent language, don't speak at all. If you feel like somebody deserves it, take it to a PM, and even then, even if they are flat out wrong, don't insult them. Wait until you're offline and tell your friends about the Jackwaggon that you had an Internet Argument with. I had a whole battle with a member here and never once called him a Jackwaggon.

Those are the primary points, but they aren't everything. While I drew the short straw to get to post this, it isn't just me. You can still have your political discussions, they simply need to be in the right spot.

I'm going to try to take some time away now, but like crack-cocaine, the addiction is severe. So we'll see how long it lasts.

M-

This is why I was happy when @Hunter created the non-political memes thread and thanked him. And then guess what?, it's half political again.

It is a car site and I would like to see more content. I have done my best to to post testing and installs when I have them. Our platform is from a short period so it seems there is only so much that will be here. I think of the SVT Mustang site which covers basically '79 and newer Mustangs so a lot more to talk about

I agree with Bull to a point
For me weather its politics, guns, Tesla’s…..etc do not care.
So I breeze through the new posts looking for Hellcat related content only. I do enjoy the humour and memes thread but do admit there are a lot of items I skip over.
That being said, I have the choice of what I read and as an adult will make that decision myself. Ive been on some antique vehicle sites which are policed so tightly that I have bailed out.
I was on one site where the moderators actually corrected spelling…..

All in all this is a great site which I do enjoy visiting to follow Hellcat articles.

2017 Redline HC got it right...Its a car site..and a lot more...tech info...mods..problem solving...every nut and bolt of theses cars has been covered..it also is a kind of brotherhood where the weather..our collections..our other passions..life styles...even the music and other diversions we enjoy are shared...although most of us will never meet..we share a common bond...we don't always agree..but as adults we all have the freedom to decide what posts we read..and what topics we indulge in..I'm not convinced sequestering any topic is in the best interest of the continued success of the Forum...especially if posts are scrutinized to the point that the least little thing might be interpreted as political content...The moderators do a fantastic job...largely do in part to allowing creative license..we all know in todays world people have become too sensitive..insulted..and offended far too easily...enjoy the topics that brought you here...and just ignore the ones that don't interest you...you always have a choice..just my .02

Great post! (Although “moderatos” sounds like the radical left wing of moderator intelligentsia.) 😁

I was 11 then...I thought he was a real Wolfman...

Well I can not say I didn’t expect this. Once again we cower and bend the knee for the liberal socialist who want to ruin this great country that many of us fought for and great brothers in arms lost their life for.
I will die before I bend the knee to those SOB’s. With that I’m out of here.

Yep, my parents used to listen to him in the late 60's when we would go to the car hangout. We had a drive-in restaurant with the speakers and all right up the street from us and Fri/Sat nights were hopping with all of the latest muscle cars and hot rods. Good times to be a kid.
