Don’t know why but I didn’t look at it until you had commented on it. Even then you didn’t leave a link. http://www.cleancarforum.com/ Pretty good stuff. Ill bet its going to really take off in a few months. Just remembering 1973--it seems like it takes a winter for this stuff to take off.

I have a feeling that it'll take off once we get some experts and some good posts in there. It's always a bit tough to get over that hurdle but once you do, growth is usually exponential..

i think it's great that this site has expanded to both realms of the auto world. as with our trucks i belive that alot of rumor/misinformation will be put in a new prospective. alot can be learned about the technology-even if you never would buy one

I agree. I've learned a lot over just the past couple of days. I can't wait to look back a year from now and see how much knowledge has been gained. It'll be interesting to see how this one takes off.

As long as we get good people over there who know their stuff, I don't see a problem with the site taking off.

By the way, you can look for a lot of format changes on the DTR in the next few months. I'm just letting you know now so you're not caught off guard.

Well, the site is going well so far. We have close to 100 members but need everyone to continue spreading the word. If you guys know someone who might be interested in the forum, then please direct them our way. We're starting to have some pretty interesting conversations over there.
