Haveya noticed?

I pretty much don't go to any of the other forums on acurazine anymore. Cartalk was the last place where you could avoid assanine threads/discussions/users. I have noticed that those people have slowly started creeping into cartalk and the, lets say "ass factor" has increased. Maybe I'm getting old but why can't they go back to ramblings....

I hang out almost exclusively in Cartalk and Automotive News anymore. I guess its a by-product of not owning any Acuras anymore....

He's talking to the regulars of Car Talk about the changes he's seen here lately.

Frankly, Car Talk could use some house cleaning.

No more threads about:

Any kind of ticket
Accidents
Insurance Claims
Parking
Someone stole my gas
Trev006
My car broke down
Anyone bought X from this place?
Where do I find on this site?
Should I part out?
My girlfriend/friend/parent/sibling/cousin/neighbor is a cross-eyed shitforbrains and wrecked my mint '87 Powder Blue Buick LeSabre Custom.

Those are just the types of topics that have posts for the last month and most of them are started by drooling idiots.

There are lots of good threads in Car Talk about cars people test-drive or eventually bought. Threads about opinions on new models coming out or owner experiences are also great threads.

It's when they get drowned out by "OMG a cop got sprinkles on my speeding ticket is that legal?" threads that it all just goes to shit

Then there would just be a 335i thread, Whiskers' "I have no idea what to get" thread, and nothing else...
