Cable Guy....Nice way to make yer first post and introduce yourself!
I suspect one of two things.....
1) Those that have mechanical abilities are busy tweeking or building their cars this time of year. FFRs included.
2) Those that are not mechanical are sitting in their armchairs waiting to write a check.
Either way, I think most of us that experience winter (exclude left coasters and msouthern folks) are in the doldrums right now.
As far as yer comments go with over 4000 members and lots of activity, I don't really know what your point is.
