First off, I'm glad to see Jeff is starting to take care of the forums now.
I had worried about this site and all it's information when activity here dropped off a couple years ago. Including me. I used to be on here everyday, but I hardly posted anything the last few years. Too busy with other things. Namely, I got a 4Runner and built that and have been enjoying the heck out of it. The Supra has spent a lot of time sitting, but I have no intentions of getting rid of it. I pulled her out back in April for the first time this year, drove her for the day and then parked her again. Since then the first time I drove it was two weeks ago. I'm trying to drive it once or twice a week from here on out, so long as the weather is good and she keeps running good.
As time goes on I see less and less interesting old vehicles on the road.
Will be a nice feeling once I am able to daily drive mine again, I see zero MK3's or MK4's on the road around here.
Too many good vehicles out there hiding in garages being neglected.
Cars are meant to be used as intended, not become a trophy that never sees daylight.
The last part of this is very true, and one of the reasons I'm going to start driving mine more. It's just hard when stuff gets piled up behind the car slowly which means you have to clear that out to even pull the car out of the garage, then the dust starts accumulating on the car and it looks bad, and the 4Runner is so much easier to drive. Just get in it and go. It's a compounding problem you really have to stay on top of.
I also agree with the comments on Tacomaworld. Tacomaworld has a great user interface in my opinion. It's easy to use on a computer, and even on a phone. It's the only forum I post on from my phone. No apps, just through Google Chrome, and it works wonderfully. I don't know if Supramania can be changed to a new more modern interface, or if that would even help traffic here. The difference is Tacomaworld has 170k members, and there were just over 100k MK3s produced starting 31 years ago. MK3s are pretty rare now, especially considering most car owners aren't part of forums. When I first got my MK3 in 2010 I would see one maybe once or twice a week. I knew where the 4-5 I saw frequently were parked either for work or at the owner's house. Now I don't know of any near me, and I've probably seen one in the last 6 months that wasn't mine.
