Oh you'll get used to it. I did real quick. It's much better now in comparison.

Post instead! It takes up forum space but when someone new comes through here and clicks "view new posts" and sees one page over the course of a day, they look elsewhere.

Just the way I see it.
Its totally true, I almost turned my back on the site due to the extremely low traffic. But then again it is the only site dedicated entirely to our cars.

In a way I think it's probably better that way. Only people who are serious legacy enthusiasts are going to sign up.

The other thing may be that these cars are dwinding in numbers, so the enthusiast group may be declining as well.

I was wondering that too. Did a bit of searching online for wrecking yard monthly reports, Scrap Processor reports, DOL stuff, etc... but didn't come up with any numbers. Would be interesting though.

Very sad though. Had they only found their way here someone would have bought them. I doubt for as much as the government paid for them but still.

that list is sad...just think all those legacies gone and all those that have been used as donor motors to put into imprezas and such....that has to dwindle that turbo legacy list down a bit. (enter sad face here!)

And this one too! I remember it was green with some shitty wheels on it. Not surprisingly the tranny was bad on it.
