Default What happened to this site?

Ive noticed a lot of Mustang and ricer guys on this website. WHY? I know some of them are fast but this is LS1 TECH not fast tech. I enjoy all types of cars but this should be for gm muscle only. A lot of ricer and stang guys just talk ****(not all) and thats it. Isnt there anyone over 18 on this forum? And whats up with these "crews", its cool to hang out with people who enjoy your hobby but some fools treat it like its a gang. Youre accepted into a crew and then some crews dont like eachother? WTF! What happened to meeting some guys guys at a burger place and talking cars. Thats why a lot of the knowledgable people on this site have gone. A lot of people on this forum gotta grow up. Stay in school and stop sniffing the whiteout.

Just my 0.02$ after reading some really dumbass posts.

So with your ZERO posts in any forum other than KILL STORIES, you're complaining about people that own other cars, and possibly actually contribute to the site in some way? I am fully aware that there are some immature little ****** on here, but there are just as many ignorant "GM muscle" guys and "ricer and stang guys" on here . And this isn't a Kill Story

because most ppl with other cars, either also have gm, have already owned gm or want to one day own a gm. the only other reason might be just because they can. so deal with it lol

Mine says 23. Post counter doesn't work in the Street/strip forums or the regional forums.

It wouldn't be nearly as weird if you just read the stickies about what sections of this forum add to your post count and which ones don't...

IMO, that is the real problem with this site...dumbasses that don't read stickies, and especially ones that don't use the search function and continue to think that they have a truly novel question and take up bandwidth with new threads that don't need to exist.

You know. Kinda like this one.

Awwww..did poor baby get upset about this thread? hmmmm..do you need some milk and cookies to make you feel better?
Maybe you need to read some stickies...and then read the post you just made. You will see that you obviously DO not read stickies either.
Damn it now I need milk and cookies!

Welcome C5, I guess you drive a C5? Tell us more about yourself so we get to know you.

And you put "ricers and stangs" in the same sentence


I can't speak for all the other stang guys, but why is there an age limit in your post.

I may only be 16, then I would be offended.

I have some VERY good friends on this site, in other sections, that I have known for a long time.

You mention meeting guys guys at a burger joint, what exactly is a guys guy?

Maybe I don't want to know, so you can go edit your first post now.

At times I talk ****, I sure do, and I keep stirring once under the skin....but it is all in good fun and most on here know that. I only attempt to keep some of the fantasy thinkers in check, other than that it is just entertainment at the "thin skin"s expense.

SO, how thick is your skin?

And tell more about what you "roll in with your crew"

See how easy this can be...

And OH

Pics please..


Again, Welcome...

Ken



I know lots of fast GM muscle, as well as FORD muscle...makes this place go round.

I agree with you in that some people don't read the stickies and some people post questions that they could find an answer to by searching or in a book, but what some of the people with your opinion don't realize is that 99% of the people on this site just like to talk cars. They don't care if they can find the information in a book or in a thread that's four years old; they want to TALK about cars with other car enthusiasts.

Sometimes you come across a post where someone is obviously just lazy, like "Where is my spare tire located", but when someone posts a thread like "Let's see some pics of XXX wheels on a Camaro" or "I'm thinking about getting a streetable cam, opinions?" and some douchebags come in and post "SEARCH SEARCH SEARCH SEARCH search SEARCH", they obviously don't understand the reason most people start threads like that, which is to have a conversation about a hobby they love.

Just my $.02.
