It's either the age or the cost of the car. When they're new and expensive, you tend to get older, more rational people on the forum. By the time the car costs $8k and is on its third owner, the forum goes to hell.

Bluebatmobile can probably chime in on that (he was one of the "in" guys).

older car guys can be real snoots, tho. There's a forum I'm on where the avg age is higher, and it's not as friendly

also the average income as well. im definitely not rich, but not poor either so it makes it a more forgiving atmosphere.

you go to some cheap car forum, they all talk about the shittiest of shitt mods and are like

homedepot garden trim, here we come!

let's all get the fake parts. can't afford fake parts, let's make everything out of balsa wood.

Washer mod?

I remember looking at the Mercedes forum because I briefly thought about getting the new one (don't wanna name the forum). Wow, totally different kind of people. Not my kind of people. That's why this forum is great, but even it has it's share of know-it-alls.

But if you go to the richie rich forums, they're all "polishin' my yacht this weekend" and "why the poor should suffer" and such.

I'm on a Jeep and Toyota forum and a general off-roading forum; this 370Z forum is my favorite. The off-roading fora have way too many post-apocalyptic antigovernment bigoted gun- nutty tinfoil hatted survivalist types (not that there is anything wrong with that).

Folks around here are pretty nice and there are enough urber-nerds here that I can feel relative well adjusted, having recently moved out of mom's basement and having had sex at least once (with a partner).

I belong to the Santa Fe and the Honda ST1300 forums (yes, I've been cheating on you all), and I must say that they are both more like this one. Not to many "snooties" and now that I think about it, most of the members of the other two forums are a little bit more "mature" as well. They also seem willing to help and assist in any way that they can.

Like the old saying goes, "I may get my appetite somewhere else, but I always come home to eat."

I do agree however that this is the most bestest forum on the interweb
