The actual number is around 1.9 million. About 4 years ago, I lost a bunch of information when we had a site crash. The site was down for about a day and I lost close to a year's worth of data.

Hey Madhat like the new avitar. My wife is now starting to read the post and forums on this site after 4 years of hating it. After the mods she really likes diesels now. Thanks Jack for a great place to come and relax.

I was referred over here in '02 by someone on SETDR (anyone else remember that site?) and joined in early '03 as cumminddg, but sold my truck shortly after that and took a long leave only to have my brother talk me into coming back (best thing i ever did), tried to use my old logon but couldn't remember the password or email i used so i had to make a new one. Things sure have changed alot though, 300hp was top dog for a first gen at that time, people didn't even think much more than 400 was possible with a ve, now theres a couple 600+ hp ve's around.

Been coming here almost daily since March '02. I got the bombing bug before I even bought my truck.

It's been a great ride, Jack. Thanks.
