This thread was "revived" by a spammer whose post is now gone. When you see a short, marginally-relevant post by a brand new member (one post, perhaps 2 at the most) on an old, inactive thread, it's often a spammer testing the waters. Sometimes there is a more or less hidden link in the post, which sometimes takes the form of a query: "Has anyone tried Xyz Imports for replacement parts? I hear they're great!"
It's hard to be certain with the clever ones, therefore a good thing most are not very creative. A good general policy: don't put a massive amount of effort into answering these posts, at least until their authors show signs of being real people with an actual interest in the topic at hand. And if you spot those commercial links--obvious or subtle--please feel absolutely free to report them.
