I think the community is shrinking, primarily because we accept very little BS. People don't want to learn to behave, they'd rather go to Reddit/FB/wherever and be juvenile. I can barely deal with 90% of the automotive forums out there. It's poo poo-tastic, except for this place.

I think its a damning condemnation on the larger car community that this is literally the only tolerable car forum on the internet and it isn't growing at any substantial rate.

Should also say the fact that the Formula One thread on SA isn't stuffed with insufferable cocks that take it way too seriously is also a huge benefit to having an SA account.

I've met a handful of certified Audi mechanics who didn't have the first clue what CIS was so the idea that these wizards of car repair know your marque better than anyone else is fairly laughable.

I mean once you understand that most dealership mechanics are flat rate you realize there's no way in hell they're going to stand around reading 1980s service manuals for fun when they've got a dozen 2013 model years the can bang through and put food on the table that week. To be honest I'd be willing to give Ferrari mechanics a break just because they're probably poo poo on by customers the second something goes wrong so they're probably more than willing to make sure everything is sorted before handing the keys back but something like an old BMW? I'd sooner just read up and do it myself.

I mean really that is something else. Really did they think that you were going to pry audi badges off of cars at the junkyard, debadge your car and paste the audi badges on for some free wiper blades?

Then again I had a Subaru parts desk guy refuse to sell me a transmission filter for my SVX on the grounds that Subaru has never had any issues with automatic transmissions :jerkbag:
