A milestone for 4SPEED427 !
Permalink  

Jan 13th, 2008 (on my wife's birthday no less) I joined the relatively newborn Canadian Poncho forum. 

November 25th, 2024 I am celebrating with this post being number 50,000 here. 

When I joined, I thought I knew almost everything about my favourite cars, 1966 Canadian Pontiacs. 16 years later, largely due to this group, I'm learning new stuff about the cars almost every week. 

Thank you guys, thank you to all who participate here.

Cheers!

 Kind words but not true. It's a great group of guys who keep it going.

When I told my wife a little while ago that I'd just posted for the 50,000th time she didn't even flinch. She said she thought it would be more!

 LOL, thanks but don't say that to some of the guys in the US who say our cars aren't Pontiacs! There is some genuine hate and horrible bashing of our cars online if you look at the right group of guys.

 X2 on all of that!

You have truly helped countless people on here, and are a fountain of knowledge. And it is all wrapped up in a good heart.

Thank You!

Agreed! While I have spent the majority of my life building American Pontiacs, I first saw the 1969 Pontiac 2+2 when I was 16 and always wanted one from that day forward! I enjoy the uniqueness and rarity of the Canadian Pontiacs. As far as other websites bashing them, its just jealousy!smile CONGRATULATIONS on 50k posts Carl!

Wow, 50,000 posts. How many friends does that equate to. I guess that would be the membership number. Great job Carl.

Imagine making a post takes 1 minute of Carls time.

Basically Carl has been sitting at his computer for 35 days straight to achieve the milestone. He must be sore.

 You aren't factoring the time to dig stuff up, scan stuff and post stuff. Combing wrecking yards. Carl has contributed A LOT. Digging stuff up from the Winnipeg GM Zone Office, destined for destruction but saved. Because of Carl's efforts we have some Assembly Manuals that otherwise would never have surfaced.

 

How many here have had part #s looked up? Who can you think of who works harder to fill in the mysterious blanks about production observations and comparisons? O.K. there's quite a few here who contribute, yourself included, Mark.

 Those guys aren't worth your time, Carl!

Now, imagine what your post count could be if you spent less time there and more time here?  :D
