The Official Hot Rod Thread - Part 4: Burnouts for Distance

[jeffsqartan]

I have bought lots of Allstar stuff and have had no complaints with it. I haven't bought one of their kits but they are designed to meet NHRA standards which use a minimum. 120 wall thicknesses and have to be sonic tested. I have ordered plain tubes from them and it has been good stuff. I wouldn't think twice about their quality

Thanks man. Helps put my mind at ease with their stuff.

I didn't know people still posted on Craigslist after they started charging per post.

Now all I see is crappy posts on FB. "Truck. Sale. $2500."
What? That's it? One crappy picture of your truck covered in snow, no details on what kind of engine (even knowing it's a V8 is nice), no pictures under the hood, none of the interior? Seriously? This is all it takes now and someone's gonna buy your hunk of trash? Or are you just posting because it only takes .3 seconds to half-a$$ your way into feeling like you've accomplished something?

Seriously. Searched Chevy 1500 last night and I don't think but two of the posts showed anything other than a couple exterior shots, none under the hood or of the interior.

Never posted on FB, do additional pics cost/pic? A lot of people don't use FB for various reasons so you limit your exposure. I sold a truck recently on CL with a paid ad, didn't like paying but wanted the exposure. A plus for CL is searchtempest; you can search every CL within X miles of a zip code with relative ease instead of looking at the individual CL city listings.

When did Craigslist start changing to post? Is it just for vehicles?

Yup. They're trying to weed out the dealers that post as individuals to avoid the fee dealers are supposed to pay for auto sales. Typical, a few people ignore the rules so everyone has to pay.

 

[jeffsqartan]

When they started charging, I noticed a huge drop in posts on CL. Haven't even been on that in months (save what links are posted in here).
FB doesn't charge anything for pix. Just post it quick and someone will buy it.
