I wanted to thank Dave and all those in this club. I stumbled on this site today and can't get off it-other than running down to the garage to perform some of the easier items-like resetting the edu and acetone for the tank (my wife will probably kill me for stealing her stash). I recently purchased a 2002 gs 430 and handed the trusty es300 to my 16 yo daughter. The es is running superbly at 178K with only usual maintainence with Mobil 1 every 4000 and air filer changes, etc. For the gs, I would like to increase its performance- plugs, chip, exhaust etc. I will be a faithful follower on this group and look forward to the advice. Thanks again for taking over my Sunday- the projects will wait till next weekend.

It's pretty thoughtless to leave a vehicle's location out of the thread's title
Looking good, but rule #4) "Please post the location of the vehicle being sold in the title" is too weak, IMO.
For those of us looking for a vehicle, it is very fustrating to open thread after thread, only to discover the car is way too far away to even consider buying it.
What a waste of time! And totally avoidable, if rule #4 was made mandatory.
The vehicle's location must be in the title, or the thread is removed (preferably) or locked. Period.
And I'm not looking to make any moderator do any extra work, if he feels this would be a burden.
I'll be glad to take on the task myself.

The reason 90% of them don't currently have the location in the title is because it's not a requirement now.
Watch how quickly that goes down to zero percent once everyone sees their threads deleted if they try to post a car-for-sale thread without a location. And my offer to delete any such threads stand- they'd learn fast.
You're right- it's not a good use of mine or any other's time to edit other threads and that's why I never proposed that. But since you are so concerned about wasting time, how about my original point? Do you know any serious car buyer that enjoys opening thread after thread, just to find out where the car is?
I'm not sure why there is such concern for the convenience of the seller and none for all the eventual readers of the thread.

Perry,
I'm not going to make it a requirement to moderate the 'form' of the title. It's a strong suggestion in the rules and thats as far as I'm going to take it... not going to over-engineer free form text field entry requirements and then **** everyone off by locking and deleting threads enforcing that rule. If you think newbs can't search, do you think they'll read the classified rules? No.
The onus is on the seller if they are motiviated to sell their vehicle to put the location in.
Don't get me wrong - I very much agree its a great idea for the seller to list the location in the title (why I added the suggestion to the guidelines) - but it'swell beyond what I'm going to commit the moderator team to enforce by inspecting the post title of each and every vehicle posted.
If you decide you want to volunteer to edit the titles of the vehicles let me know.
