Default Is it me or is this site vary slow!

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this or is it just me. ?I do not have any problem with any other sites. Just about every time i post i am looking at the little wheel just spinning , waiting to be connected to the next post or trying to get to another one.
Just frustrating!!!!! Hate to wait!

i know i spelled Very wrong. I am not using firefox right now.

Not all of us drive S5s and M5s every day. We're used to going slow.

It varies, sometimes slow, sometimes right freakin' now. I've found that if I click on a link and wait for more than a second or two to see a response, I cancel the navigation (Escape or "X"), and reclick the same link. The second attempt, so far at least, always comes up immediately. Why? Beats the stuffin' outta me.

I've DONE that, and I *still* drive a Subaru

Of course, for 15 of those years, I was paying 40% of my take-home to child support...

Some advice to all of you young whipper-snappers, out there, either KEEP IT IN YOUR PANTS or WEAR A CONDOM!!!

Oh, and, it's closer to 35 years in the work-force, for me.

Sorry to hear that. I guess paying off our house , not having kids & having 40 years of job security between the both of us helps.

20 years ago i was a strugling fool waiting for the repo man to come take my truck. Once i met my wife i started handing her my pay checks.

It's always slow for me. A lot of time a refresh opens it though

What does 12 years in the military, including 4 trips to Iraq and one to Korea get me?

...8 more years until 20, and then another job. Best believe that pension will be paying for a nice house and a nice car to put in the garage.

Oh, and the wife has just start working on her degree in business management...

So, I'll keep kicking around my beat up B5 until I can get a less beat up B6 S4, then, well, who knows after that.

I can't get rid of it... I've been thinking/ talking about selling it for what, a year now? But I can't just bring myself to it...

And in a couple months, I will have a 15 y/o, who will need a car in a year. So, maybe then I will have my excuse to get an S.
