I also owned a Vette so that makes me a super snob.
No that makes you an inverse porcupine.

Don’t
you own 68hemib’s Challenger vert? Or was it a Cuda, can’t remember
Not only A bodies but even small block and 6 owners were treated as 2nd rate. I got sick of seeing 383-440 and 426 comparisons and builds and B and E specific traffic that had nothing to do with my tastes or interests. I bailed out when I discovered FABO many moons ago, 80% of the content here has relevance to my interests so that's why I'm parked here, not there. I saw a 340 Roadrunner build thread and the car was super nice, it had very little interest while a ratty 383 build was garnering many more comments. Just my observations.I've owned A, B, E and trucks. So am I a semi-snob? Just a snob when diving my B and E bodies but cool when in my A body? How does this work?
Yup... That's Mister Snob to you.... Sorry, I own a B body and an E body... If that makes someone have an inferiority complex It's their problem not mine.... I welcome folks to join me in my enjoyment of the hobby whether they own a B/E/A/C or a Ford/GM/or even a foreign vehicle..

FABO has 2915 pages of members at 20 members/page that's over 58,000 members. At Moparts they have 540 pages at 50 members/page or over 27,000 members. I find that interesting.
Thanks for that. I own two foreign vehicles, with Chevy motors, and Ford rearends..... and six mopars.Yup... That's Mister Snob to you.... Sorry, I own a B body and an E body...

those numbers mean nothing. how many are actually active? there were a ton of guys that joined here years ago just to look at the laysons search warrant when they got busted at carlisle. quite a few joined to see that and never came back. i was looking at moparts member list years ago and there were pages and pages or members with zero posts.. i'm sure its the same here too.. they won't purge them people either because the numbers sell to sponsors better
That was my impression as well.It's always seemed odd that some posts get traffic & others never seem to take off... That may happen more to A bodies & small blocks but it happens to B & E bodies too... Certain posters always seem have their followers, other posters no matter how interesting their question they rarely generate responses...
Steve sold his vert to Carl, the president of the San Joaquin Mopar club...
I've got the Sublime vert... And a 68 Coronet vert..
It was their superiority complex that puzzled me. I got the "B/E or nothing" vibe way too often there.
Moparts is still up and going. I was on earlier.Thanks all, I check A ,B, and moparts as well as others nightly out of habit iooking for something I might need as well as certain build info. I don't post often unless something catches my eye or a question of interest. But my question is still, is moparts "gone now"?
The one thing that is consistent on Moparts though, is that Doc Fiberglass is like the Terminator. Moparts has killed him off a dozen times, and he just keeps coming back!
My first car when I turned 16 in 1971was a 68 Charger R/T. Over the next few years, I owned a 72 Demon, a 70 Charger R/T, and in 74, I bought a new loaded 74 Challenger. The Chargers were solid cars as was the Demon. But I always said my Challenger should have had R/T emblems standing for Rattle Trap. E-bodies look good and I'm sure they could be turned into great cars but I never wanted another one.I've dealt with a lot of E body owners and yes there is definitely an "E body attitude". Not saying all E body owners are that way but a lot are. My good friend has 5 of them. That is all he'll own. Never an A or B. He is a really great guy but one day I had to tell him not to have an E body owner attitude. Said he might as well be a Vette owner. That got his panties in a wad. He hates Vettes. I've also dealt with a lot of Vette owners.
Me, I just like cars. All kinds and makes.
