Please include year and type of vehicle in your signature...!

I know it has been said before, but it is really challenging trying to help someone when they ask for it, yet offer no clue as to what particular car they are referring to.
I have noticed folks getting a little tired of asking lately.
Put in your signature, or at least your post. Your location makes a huge difference too.

I want to help with whatever knowledge I can, but I don't want to have to ask everytime...I'm starting to bypass posts where this info isn't provided, and I am sure some of the talented long term members here feel likewise.

That said, let me amend this to include that we are here to help...
Get happy

Well, aren't we being picky tonight... we old timers use our psychic abilities and if that does not work we call the psychic hotline....if that does not work we just make up some answer... heck, can't hold us responsible when we don't know the year and model...
I assume if someone does not put their location that their EX is looking for them... or the LAW...

I kind of like it when the new people don't provide a location or a vehicle.

Then Greg will pipe up with a comment like "Do you live in Alaska?" or,

"Are you driving a Schwinn?"

or something to that effect.

Always good for a few laughs.


And, speaking of laughs, did anybody check this out:

www.trunkmonkey.com

Funniest thing I've seen all day. Check out #1 and #5.

123c, Well, if you are looking to find another MB you could put " searching for " and describe it.

Brian , You missed my best one... where the guy said his car looked like a KGB car and I asked him if it was in Russia ( since he provided no other clue ).
