For all the great posts here I'd wax poetic, but I prefer Haiku.

I know traffic on here isn't as high as others I frequent, so I'm not surprised. I have also noticed that on the weekend it gets even slower, not to mention there is only so much we can mod on our Malibus...LOL!!

These cars come well equipped IMO, but there is always room for improvement right?

That makes sense, but don't let it deter you from visiting and posting. I plan to have this car for the long haul and will be here often.

As for new threads, I usually don't post useless ones (like this thread..haha!) but do visit daily and give my .02 cents in threads I think it will contribute.

I have been thinking the same thing... Seems like there was more posting traffic a few months ago. Hope it gets better. :D

I joined over a week ago and my intro post still isn't appearing. Neither is the post I put in the Off topic section regarding my other toys...

I wouldn't be surprised if this post doesn't show up either...

I would post a heck of a lot more if I could.

When I joined, I noticed the exact same thing. So I sent a PM to a mod and he said he needed to verify I was a real member, not some spam bot.

I'd hate to be that "guy" that reports often, but if it will keep that feature at bay I will be happy to hit the button! LOL!

Yea in no nothing wrong with it, but doesn't everything that gets reported go straight to Pizza Man for him to check out? I'd just hate to fill his mailbox you know.

What is Haiku? I have never heard this word before.

What is Haiku? I have never heard this word before.
Straight from Wikipedia:
Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry, consisting of 17 moras (or on), in three metrical phrases of 5, 7, and 5 moras respectively.[1] Haiku typically contain a kigo, or seasonal reference, and a kireji or verbal caesura. In Japanese, haiku are traditionally printed in a single vertical line, while haiku in English usually appear in three lines, to parallel the three metrical phrases of Japanese haiku.[2] Previously called hokku, haiku was given its current name by the Japanese writer Masaoka Shiki at the end of the 19th century.

I daresay that what was posted here wasn't haiku in the strictest sense of this definition, but it was 17 syllables at least! :D

You were probably exposed to it in high school, but if poetry isn't your cup of tea, as it were, then it would have escaped your attention.

See what you learn on a car forum?

---------------------------------
A better attempt
Would be to define haiku
With thoughts of springtime.

---------------------------------
Hey, it just kinda
Leaked outta my sieve-like mind,
Like oil from a crack!

---------------------------------
There ya go! I just did two for ya!

I hope you're chuckling like I am. :)
