I did that once myself in the C&A forum, because there was a current event related to a thread that I had opened several months earlier, so instead of opening a new thread, I revived the old one.
But most of the times I see really pointless threads beeing revived for no reason.
Yes. Many times people while reading old threads probably get so lost in them that they forget its years old and end up replying, even in smiley format, to a two and a half year old post. I have been one of those people too but only on one occasion :D
Roman, I replace my (one I drive) car every three years... I have done that for the last six years. Suburban is the family vehicle hence will be kept for sometime...however, as soon as the wife wants a new car ...it will be gone.
err…kaleem, my previous post wasn’t exactly a request for history of your family car consumption. no wonder you don’t see things wrong with american cars if you keep them only for 3 years.
it’s like marrying a girl when she’s only 18 and marrying again once she’s 25. you’ve already skimmed off the good years.
People used to tell me that Roman is just another average Joe Blow.
I have always denied it.
I tried to convert them by saying, “No, you just don’t see the other side of him.”
Alas…with this mediocre comment comparing cars to wives…he has proven the masses to be correct.
err, the point is that I have had a chevy Suburban for almost six years without a problme… I have had a Chevy Silverado from 1994-1999 without a problem. During the same time my wife was driving a Mazda…so of course I know about both american and japanese cars…not like someone who kept it for 3 months… and rendered a verdict of their uselessness.
kaleem, I don’t know what it is about american cars that hit a nerve or something..again we’re not asking for family history of car purchases…did you see me drumming my having owned three civics, all for years of ownership, a chrysler omni for three months, and next big plans of lexus suv? no you don’t. so please..
no kaleem, I'm afraid that won't cut it. you've to make a mujasma of the sort of american cars and put on mantle and bow reverently every day and then we can call it livable.
