the Cal-Look forums are no more. http://www.cal-look.com/thats_all.html
I wasn't a frequent user on there, but when I did get on I always found it to be a good source of info with a lot of knowledgable people. One less resource for the VW hobby, not a good thing...
Here's to their 13-year run :beer:

Germanlook.net has been pretty dead lately too.

Guess they realized that there's more important things in life than an old Volkswagen.

It's the rough economy, I know I have been sacrificing my VW time to make a few bucks.

December 1999 – January 2013

We had a wonderful time over the last 13 years, but like all creative endeavors, this one had peaked and it was time to move on.

While the site quickly grew to be one of the most visited VW sites on the Internet, we realized that, as wonderful as extrinsic recognition is, it was the creative process that interested us most. Unfortunately, increasing career and life demands have limited our ability to create and innovate in recent years, removing the challenge and joy of working collaboratively on the site.

Our hope for the future is that VW sites will strive to be more than egocentric blogs; that people in this wonderful hobby will collaborate with the goal of growing the VW scene in inventive ways.

Many thanks to all of the supporters and contributors over the years; it’s the friendships created that we’ll remember the most, and feel fortunate that we had an opportunity to contribute to the VW scene in a modest way.

Sincerely,
John, Michael and the entire Cal-Look.com team.

I'm confused, is the creative endeavor the cal look or the website for the cal look? How creative can you get with cal look? stock height in the rear, trim removed, lowered in the front on 135's, BRM's, and 48IDA's. There is only so much creativity that can be done when you LIMIT creativity by having so many strict "rules". :roll:

You're right, computers are much more creative than IDAs!
