i'm sure you're all aware that the 2nd or 3rd owner of a vehicle generally is the one who for better or worse generally modifies their car. sometimes these individuals need to be allowed to ask the the questions to get the right answers.

if you all think it is bad now...when i joined 2+ years ago it was pretty elitist here and within the W211 forum. since then its eased up, and possibly some have moved onto newer platforms. i think there are a good group of guys here now, but when someone claims their intake made 80whp, don't expect anybody to hold back their tongue.

reminding someone to search exists on all automotive forums, not just here.

I couldn't agree more with the OP. Some of the guys on here are really harsh. Let's all work together and try to manage our emotions behind the keyboard.
