    Look, car magazines usually have a technical "guru" with a column to answer reader's questions. I think this forum could use a guru like that. It could be fun and make this place even more interesting than it already is. I don't care who it is, as long as they are very knowledgeable about Mavericks/Comets (like Craig). People are always coming up with new sub-forums here for this & that, so why not a "Ask So-&-So" sub-forum?

    Maybe it could even be on a rotational basis with several "gurus", each having a term of 90 days. Maybe "Old Guy" Dave would like to participate; I'm always P.M.ing him with questions. Why not make it public? Come on, be adventurous and consider it!...

    A better idea would be to collectively build a wiki (like wikipedia), where everyone can contribute to it.

    It would be nice to have a section with the Spec.'s of the different year cars.
    Sorta like this: http://www.turbotbird.com/techinfo/tc8788specs.htm
    Only for Mavericks and Comets

    Another suggestion would be to have "Tech articles" for troubleshooting, or mods that have been documented into a "How-To" type format.

    Only don't burry them inside too many sub-folders and maybe make them in a "read only" format.
    Like this: http://www.turbotbird.com/techinfo/techarticles.html

    I know....I'm just a newbie, but it would be nice to have just the fax without the fluff. Then when you need to, it's easy to print it out.
