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.

He's got a point. By the way the folks who are in clubs are the ones who meet up and talk about cars.

Every group of cars-whether it be Imports, Fords, or GM has it's bad idiots. I never had a problem with who belongs on this site. It's a public site.

there much better..... but things like that can be taking differently though....but I guess now I agree 95% of what you said... I really don't mind other car guys(non-LSx) to join the site as long as they are not trolls...

My point is simply that this should be an LS1 and GM site only for car and tech subjects and questions and the that some of these guys in their crews should act like car enthusiasts and not gang members. Ive met some crews and they were really cool people but there are allways some idiots out there. I know this can applied to most sites but this one seems to have more of it than others.

True, its funny sometimes but some "kids" cant handle it. They go through high school trying to be tough and the dont grow out of it. Friendly smack talking can make it intresting, just dont take it to heart.
