Farewell, Fairlady.....

m4a1mustang · 12-04-2013, 10:56 AM

The point people are missing is that in the forum's heyday we didn't treat departing members like this. When someone decided to move on there was no, "wow, this car sucks," or "what a downgrade" talk. Instead it was a simple, "good luck!" and we moved on.

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...

Good looking Vette. Enjoy it!

StangerGT · 12-04-2013, 12:08 PM

ditto

Grats on the trade, and hope you enjoy it!

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.

TerribleONE · 12-04-2013, 12:49 PM

Not my cup of tea but hey as long as you enjoy it thats what matters! I am serious you will appreciate the LS

NS370Z · 12-04-2013, 01:31 PM

Congrats on the Vette.

The way I see it enjoy what you have. If you are fortunate to one day move up in the echelon of things, good for you. But please don't be a hater, not everyone has to like what you like.

OP, congrats on the vette. Maybe I will find myself in a C7 Z06 one day. One can only hope 'til then it is the Z life for me.

kenchan · 12-04-2013, 04:32 PM

yah, it's not like he bought a maxima or altima or something to replace his Z.

give the guy a break.

He's pretty much talking about disparaging crap like this:

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.
