Lots of people on here end up being friends with other members. As they move on in life, they might get a different car, but they want to keep the friendships they have started on the forum.
If the brand/ model of car you have is the mitigating factor on who you will be friends with, there are some heads needing to be pulled out of asses.
People change. 8 years ago, I thought that anything with a 4 banger and a turbo was the greatest thing ever. Now I like big torque V-8s. Maybe in another 5 years I will really start liking street bikes.
How about we all start celebrating the fact that modern technology has created some of the most amazing machines ever. I mean hell, a brand new Honda minivan is faster through the 1/4 mile than the original Corvette.
The real power of the forums is that people from all over the world can become friends. (I'm gonna end this comment now, because it sounds like an episode of the Care Bears or something.)

So, if someone that peruses this forum about CAMAROS reading threads about CAMAROS, owns a CAMARO and is interested in CAMAROS, is not interested when someone purchases another such "highly celebrated" vehicle; are they to be subject to ridicule?
Or, called "elitist"?
The OP's point, if I can put words in the OP's mouth, is that they don't care. The OP didn't say "don't ever post again". The OP said they don't care.
Quite frankly, I don't either.
I'm tall. Maybe a Challenger would be a better fit. But, I don't want one and if someone gave me one, I would sell it.
Do I really want to know if that person likes their Challenger or (whatever)? No.
I like my Camaro and that is all that is within my realm of interest, hence the reason I am in a CAMARO forum.
You can't discern attitude and mood in the written word, the way you can when someone is speaking to you in person. A lot of what has been in this thread (at least on my part) is tongue-in-cheek.
Think about that before labeling an entire group (Gen 5 owners) something that you are "embarrassed" to be a part of.
