It's 2020...we're lucky he chooses to post anything here to be honest. Lots of folks posting to Instagram rather than the forum these days. Instagram is my only "social" media account because so many of the builds I was following here had the photos on Instagram first and eventually they stopped posting here period. Unfortunately for me, I'm taking a break from Instagram so I missed the video too

Re: off it goes

I'm sure you mentioned at some point, but I've forgotten -- Where's the battery hidden?

I don't understand the trend to move builds to social media vs forums. Forums are just a cleaner way to present the information. I do have an IG account that I look at once in a while.

too true!.. I listen to "C10 talk" (podcast) and it is funny how he mentions background story lines as "back in the old forum days" (meaning this forum). i'm like: "whadda ya mean- old forum days"

I assume that the conversion is due to the convenience of FB and IG on your phone as opposed to having to "log on" to the internet... but I for one am an old hold out & going to stay true to the forum!

I push the same number of buttons to get to IG as I do this forum (and 2 others). IG does not capture the depth of things forums like this can. I asked a builder many people follow a question about the trailer fenders he uses for his dually set-ups. Instead of any type of answer, he 'liked' my post. Wow, that helped.

I'll admit, IG is wearing on me these days. I can't stand FB & the commonalities are more & more evident every day. I especially dislike the every 4th post advertisements constantly advertising some music/rap video.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Unfortunately, that's a microcosm of so many things in our world today. That's why I put "social" media...there isn't a whole lot that's social about it

Sorry for the thread hijack chromaholic, but rest assured us forum junkies are still holding out for the rumble rumble video

I follow CHROMAHOLIC here & on IG. Pics are great. Pics with information = greater.
