Default Shout out to the long time posters

Just want to take a second while relaxing during a coolant line repair to thank all of the people who have been long time active members of this community. Thanks to all of you I've been able to pretty confidently handle the less than great part of car ownership that has seemed to be so common the last month. First it was a front air strut going bad and now a burst coolant return line. Glad to be able to count on you all to have the knowledge to keep myself sane through all this.

Ditto! This forum is the only reason I have been able to maintain, repair, enjoy and ultimately keep my car for as long as I have. And that continues to this day.

Yup, folks underestimate the value a solid online community brings to keeping complicated old boats on the road.

Totally agree, being a former D2 and current D3 owner that has had help from members, is why at some point will probably be a D4 owner.

Yeah seriously. I made a vow when I bought it that this car will be buried with me like a pharaoh and his chariot, and this sub will go a long way to ensuring it's not because it drives me to an early grave, hahaha.
