Hey everyone, Well, I decided to just go ahead and do it, I’ve started my own web site and forum dedicated to talking about cars and helping people out with their car problems. I don’t expect it to replace this site obviously, but I just can’t stand how this forum is run, designed, or how our input is ignored. So I made an alternative. I hope you’ll check it out… My site is called “The Old Wrench” and it’s just a place to discuss cars and relax. Please send me any comments or suggestions you come up with! Here’s the link: [http://www.theoldwrench.com](http://www.theoldwrench.com) Hope to see you there! Jad ---

Let’s bet on how long this thread will last. Since, afterall, it’s competition and cartalk doesn’t seem to like chit-chat and banter without deletion. ---

Nice site! I just registered. In terms of format and ease of use, it is everything Car Talk’s forum used to be in its prime. Goodbye Car Talk! Hello Old Wrench! See you all on the other side. ---

Nice job with the layout Jad. The site has the appearance of being more user friendly and technically oriented. The tech talk and project car sections are a very nice touch also seeing as how I’m one of those types who can’t leave well enough alone. 🙂 [Next page](https://community.cartalk.com/t/theoldwrench-com-a-new-car-forum/18755.md?page=2)
