When someone spends time on the forum to participate and contribute I think we at least owe them a bit of respect. There's no need to denigrate someone's choice. It's not an A vs. B thread... it's a "Hey guys, thanks, I had fun!" thread.

Some still get it, many don't. But I digress...
He's pretty much talking about disparaging crap like this:

Sorry to hear about the small peepee. See ya later. Jk. But honestly, I'd never own a vette or a mustang. Mustangs I won't even get into that subject lol. And vettes are overpriced. I had a full vette swap in a Nissan 240sx. Loved it. But to actually own a vette id rather so many cars over it in that price range. Regardless good luck with it, the color is beautiful and I'm sure it'll be fun for a long time.

When a guy trades his Z for a Prius, then we should attack.

Only if its voluntary. The first response should be to assume he was under duress.

Yes. In a situation like that we need to do our best to be his support group.

Congrats on the Vette, what are your plans for it?

That platform has a ridiculous amount of mods available for it so you will have your choice of whatever you want for it.

Supercharger, wheels, exterior, interior, exhaust, intake, etc.. are all readily available and with the LS responds really well to mods

Post of the year...

I know so many people who no longer post here once they moved on from the Z community since they don't feel like they can effectively participate but if we were all more cordial to people who move on from the platform we would have an easier time retaining members

Just curious, what compares favorably against the Z that makes the Corvette better for you?

I know that will be trollbait for some, but I'm always genuinely curious and totally respect someone else's opinion, even if I don't share it.

What it all boils down to is, I am just a blue collar, red neck, Earndhart lovin' NASCAR fan who grew up on Chevy and Ford. Even though I can appreciate the refinement of foreign cars, they really don't do anything for me. I would rather have a 7 year old American muscle car than a brand new foreign sports car. It's just a matter of taste, that's all.

That's as honest as you can get. :tup:

Good looking 'Vette brother! I have always loved that shiny orange creamsicle looking color on them.

Enjoy it!

Does your '03 Accord really have 400k miles? If so, damn you drive a lot!

yellogixxer 12-06-2013 06:12 PM
Yep, I do drive a lot!

^You have a terrible argument

bigdog1250 12-06-2013 06:26 PM
The V8 club really is a fun one, welcome! :)

And as my GF says, "the car doesn't sound like it's trying hard anymore"
Though I did love my FI exhaust on the Z.

Hey, when you drive as much as I do, you just want to get where you're going as quickly as possible, I've got no time for speed limits!

Gadgetech 12-07-2013 06:16 AM
Glad to see 400k on the clock. I've turned an 01 GT into my DD since getting the Z, it's got about 192k on the clock and going strong!



BTW, enjoy the vette!
