Easy, 2002-2010 if you wanted a V8 and rwd for cheap you got a truck. Now the camaro is back and the price of trucks is up people have moved on.

Most of my friends have Subaru, gti, $20k is the right number for having fun. I feel people still can affford toys just not expensive ones. My brother just bout a Fiesta ST, I got a new Ram. We both can afford a lot more but we have to make smarter choices these day. Trucks will always have there spot, I need 4 wheel drive and to pull a trailer twice a month. I want a camaro/mustang/challenger but need something else.

This site will always have an audience, just not the same size it had.

Hell i remember wanting a turbo kit years ago... it was cool and still new...so i got one ran 11's and was cool... lol .now everybody has one since they are cheap and its not a big deal at all to most. My current truck i refuse to go turbo....JUST because so many newbs have jumped on that wagon.

yeah, back then you could get a fully loaded ecsb or crewcab truck for 27k and they would beg for your trade-in. now a fully loaded truck is damn near 50k and the truck is not 20,000 better in my opinion. you will never see me spend that much oney on a truck.

or...maybe all of the members that you remember posting back then only made around 250 posts and left...a couple of years later they can all come back and act like they arent part of the reason that traffic slowed down
