The way I look at it is there three stages to car forum/ownership experience. You just have to know your level in the food chain. The early adopters worry less about maintenance diy stuff but cosmetic ones.

Mid-stage adopters, on the other hand usually second third owners are the ones who really give the diy section a life of it's own, both cosmetic but usually non-cosmetic. That's where most of us come in. That's where the word "search" comes alive. This is how we become a problem: not searching.

Then you have the late-bloomers - these are the ones SebringJetta is referring to. These are ones that take what the mid-stage adopters started to a whole new level.

I would hope to be a mid stager, lol. I'm the second owner and hoping I can learn as well as contribute to the community even though the next generation is on the horizon.
