The girls added to the pictures make the page look cheesy..

I'm not sure if "cheesy" would be the best description, I can think of a couple of others but then this is Usenet, a family site!

Since when is usenet:

A) a site

and

B) Family anything

What the heck is a "nitro" engine? I've run glow ignition engines for fifty years, and only started hearing them called "nitro" when a bunch of kids showed up from the toy car crowd. I guess they don't know they run just fine on methanol and oil.

Terms such as "nitro," "turbo," and photos of naked girls are all designed to do the same thing: Drain the blood out of the thinking part of the body and pump it into the throbbing part, so when a snake oil seller comes along and sells you garbage, you won't have brains enough to say "no." ;-)

Complaining about changing terminology of the younger generation only makes a person seem older. It's about on the same level as complaining about the music the younger the generation listens to.

You still knew what they were talking about, didn't you? What difference does it make, in the long run? You could call them alcohol engines, and be as accurate as glow engines.

Times change. Change, or get run over.

How about walking us through the models' addresses and phone numbers?
