New noobs stink! LOL I am glad I found this place. I have "modded" a few things and I got that fishy old smell outta my car with a new home made air fiter so thanks to all CL old bastards and new young bastards. This place rocks and I will make my own tutorial on something in the future when it gets warm again.

 

Must see,it's was during a ackward moment you will find it even funnier now,Thanks......

hmm.....well, either way I enjoy the GS400 and honestly since wanting one for 4 years knew exactly what I wanted to do to it and within a month of having it did it all, and used good stuff too. Happy to say no more Hondas...

 

LOL ya got me that time. Guess I had that coming.

 

LOL...........

 

i totally understand where your coming from. i too was feeling this same way when i joined, i've been on here for a little over a year now and i see that type of attitude from some O.G's but beeing on here a year has also made me understand that some questions are asked an awful lot on here which has probally made some members a little aggrevated. Think of it this way.......Without O.G's you might not get any info on a mod or problem diagnosis because the site will be filled with "noobs"

 

It does get tiring when there are lots of threads asking the same questions that has been asked before. I try to answer whenever my knowledge allows me to. I dont look at post counts or registration date either because it doesn't make sense to me. Not all new owners are like this though. Not everyone knows about the search function because some people aren't really computer-savvy. I'm guilty of not knowing how to use the search when I first logged onto a forum

 

I remember when I had a question about wheel fitment, I posted on the correct section and did not get one reply. I moved it to the GS section and I got responses in no time. I think it depends on the question and how it's asked. I try helping when ever possible, but there's time when it does get redudant and you will at one point tell someone to use the search button.
Just keep in mind that not everyone is the same and some members are more friendly than others

I just wanted to let members know what my intentions were. Noobs suck J/K just some of you kidding too.

 

couldn't agree with you anymore

 

That's fine but it pisses me off when they get mad at you for telling them to search as if they expect ClubLexus to be some sort of blackbox that spits out answers to questions they have.

To me, one of the main points of an online forum is to share the wealth of knowledge. And if we keep on making new threads about the same issue over and over, the knowledge gets spread out and it's harder to gather up the information.

Maybe we should make a quiz for the new members...
Question 1. Your Lexus throws a CEL, what do you do?
a) Go buy a new Lexus
b) Pretend like you didn't see it
c) Put electrical tape over the dashboard
d) Search old threads
e) Make a new thread without searching

And ban every noob that answers e). haha, jk.

How much groundbreaking new information out there is on these cars? They are OLD. Of course the questions will be the same. There is nothing new and exciting to talk about. What else do you expect? Just turn the whole forum into a FAQ since everything has been covered numerous times. I wouldn't want to bother anyone with the same ole questions.

 

so wait ... ur telling me this is not the case

 

You hit it right on the nose. With so many more students in the class rooms it just means we need the teachers to step up....
