So many elitists here, I feel like this is a Corvette forum, sometimes.

Define "elitist" as you see it, so I know what you're getting at. I'm watching a movie and typing on my phone.

People who are so close minded that you mention another vehicle and the reaction is immediately hostile.

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.)

I could be wrong, but unlike everyone else here, I think the op just acts like he's angry around everyone. Not that he really is or anything. I mean, look at how nice he is to people. I experienced his fake "wrath" when I first came to the boards and posted in one of the inevitible M6 vs A6 threads. I figure it's just an act he puts on...

Here's the PM thread that ensued:

Boltmark: It's people like you that make me sick when I'm on this website. I'm willing to bet you don't even own a Camaro. If so what's the VIN. Only way to be sure or not. You suck.

Myself: You obviously have no idea about joking around. Grow a sense of humor. Life can be fun, you know.
I don't own a camaro today, but I will hopefully have a 2SS by end of this week...which is why I joined the boards here.

Boltmark: Just as I thought. Nothing more than the normal basher.

Myself: Bashing? I wasn't bashing anything. That's what's so funny about this is how people took this. If you -read- what I wrote, I didn't call ANY Camaro owner a girly man. I just implied that those with automatics lean more that way than manuals.

Oh, and I will be getting my Imperial Blue Camaro 2SS on the 8th. Dealer has already taken it off the market and is holding it for me

And it's a Manual!!!

Boltmark: I'm done wasting my time with you. Find another hobby. Like sitting on your manual stick shift and bounce up and down.

Myself: Again, you choose to be insulting, rather than just having fun on the boards. What makes you such an angry person, I wonder?
Have a nice day.

Boltmark: Nice try

Myself: Nice try for what? Pointing out that you don't seem to have a sense of fun & humor? You don't know me. I don't know you. Yet you all you've done is try to insult me, all based on a harmless post in a thread. Are you new to the interwebs or something? Maybe you really are a girly man, and are overcompensating. I really don't know...

It was such an awesome welcome to the C5 forums, and I was impressed at how polite and calm he was....

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.

I don't know the OP and don't research people when I reply. I agreed with his point.

Still do.

The rest. Your points, are interesing.

Not an entire group, just the "Camaro or Die" people.

And when I am not interested in a post, I don't click on it. You can usually tell by the title.

I'm not really gonna bother in here anymore, cause I can tell this is just gonna be 'one of those threads,' but in a couple years, when I trade in my SS for a 7th Gen Z06, I will be sure to post about it on this forum so I can let my Camaro5 buddies know about it and we can continue to talk about cool rides.

Maybe with the growing list of topics we are forbidden from discussing here, this type of conversation is all you end up with?

[SSBlack]

How about a New York Yankees forum, where people post about their decision to root for the Red Sox?

And people post defending them and saying that they have a right to root for the Sox.

Of course they do.

I just don't care to hear them root for the Sox.

With the money the Yankees spend it's pathetic that they don't win even more.

[ZWA SS]

This threads not fun anymore. Or I've lost my buzz..
Either way, it's late. Goodnight!

Damn, PQ...you're making me like you. We're supposed to be fighting!

I will always agree with anyone that can diss the Yankees like that!
