    I just am left wondering what the process was for choosing the new moderators? Some of those people you chose are more than qualified and I see as being great moderators. A few of the other people have me left wondering why they were chosen and who did the choosing? What were the criteria?

    The plain of simple of it is this. Yes we needed more moderators but I think there should have been a nomination and voting process. If you are going to ask for money then the people giving the money should have a say on large issues like this.

    I am on other forums and that is how they did it. They also do a "Car of the month" which there is voting for also. Just something to think about.

    It eliminates the *****ing and crying because everyone has an equal chance.

    yeah. i mean it's an interesting concept, but it's a forum not organized government. well, "organized."

    so anyways, i like that they are chosen, they are chosen by people who have a good sense of people and their character etc. so i dont have a problem with it.

    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    First off. No need to be hard on the internet because you just come off sounding like an idiot.

    I don't care either way. It has nothing to do with greed, complaining or crying, I was simply making an suggestion.

    Grow up.

    Pure2Sin: I would like to sincerely apologize; I was careless and crass without provocation.

    I may say rude things but learn to take a joke. The internet is funny when you can laugh.
