Please! youre on here more than I am and I`m on here monday thru friday while I`m working. Thissite gets me motibated to work on the truck, unfortunatly it also motivates me to buy parts for the truck and. . . another truck project,
Just to let you know longhorn, I appreciate your knowledge and participation on here

**Palf70Step** · 09-17-2008, 12:04 PM

I'm here alot, but I can cut down my time here and go away for a while if I want.

Hmmmmm.... sounds like denial....first sign of addiciton

scottrod71 · 09-17-2008, 12:51 PM

Not addicted yet but getting there......I get stuck on the project build pages and spend way too much time and then wish I hadn't because it makes my truck look bad.

**steelhorse** · 09-17-2008, 02:11 PM

I check it ever day at work and on the weekends.I think I may need help.Maybe I should buy another truck to keep me busy.

i agree... that is AWESOME!

Jtrux · 09-17-2008, 07:39 PM

I only log on 2 or three times a day, not that bad really.

**special-K** · 09-17-2008, 07:47 PM

I only get on when I wake up.Then,I go to bed.

Critter · 09-19-2008, 10:11 PM

Wow, this little poll turned out better than I expected. It looks like I am only about 85% crazy according to the statistics.

Hi. My name is Robert. I am a 67-72 Chevy Truck forum addict.
No, I don't need intervention.

72BlckButy · 09-20-2008, 12:12 AM

Depends on the week, but I am certifiably board crazy!!!

In the evening after work I have a laptop that is usually close by and ready to make a search as questions come to mind. So I think realistically I spend 20+ hours on the forum per week! WOW I guess I am a truck nerd or something. Anyway, what about everyone else???

ditto on that!

newbraunie · 09-20-2008, 01:00 AM

I hope a chevy trucks anonymous group is being formed soon! I am on the site almost daily after recently subscribing. The resources available are infinite and are allowing me to move my project forward quickly.

dan42 · 09-20-2008, 01:08 AM

It's little scary how much I'm on here - and I never really was on the internet much before this site, at least not for long stretches. Maybe we need a forum to help us with our addiction. Yeah, that's it...

Critter · 09-20-2008, 11:05 AM

Yeah, an addiction forum to help with our addiction to this forum! GREAT IDEA!!!

drmiller1 · 09-29-2008, 10:25 PM

Speaking as one who has only been coming here for 2 months, there is a simple reason for the addiction. This site rocks! It actually is useful, informative, and entertaining. The people on this site will help you out.
My wife thinks I'm actually mechanically inclined, thanks guys!

dieselarmy13 · 09-29-2008, 10:39 PM

Wife: Are you ready, let's go!

Me: Hold on, I just have to check my User CP real quick.

Sillyoldman · 09-30-2008, 12:09 AM

Several times a day for me.

COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT ANY BETTER MYSELF!!!!

I always think.... Hello my name is Fritz, I am addicted to the 67-72 chevy truck forum...

**old Rusty C10** · 09-30-2008, 11:12 AM

i spend waay too much time on here but it keeps me out of trouble...

Hoods69BadBowTie · 09-30-2008, 02:30 PM

Oh yea I am hooked I usually try to get on a couple times a day at least to just check in.

My ex used to insist I was talkin to chicks on here. She said no way could I find this much interest in old "crappy" trucks.

Did I mention she is now my Ex?

c10addict · 09-30-2008, 04:58 PM

Then as if it wasnt bad enough I went and bought my Buddys 64.. So now I am on the 60 to 66 and 67 to 72 BOTH!!
