the overall feeling that I get here is the same that I got on the benzworld forms. Elitists if you don't buy the parts we use on our cars from this brand or this company that somehow makes your car inferior and that you're wasting your time and money. what happened just to the group who wants to modify their car just for the sake of modifying cars not to make any more power or look good to anyone except for the owner.
And then you get into the SS and ZL1 owners a small group of them who feel that if you didn't buy either of those two models and the appropriate options and different badges that came with the different options you could get, your car is crap and we don't want to talk to you, sure I get some people are going to say things like that in jest all in good fun but it really alienates a group of people.
The overall perception that I got from the form is if you have any kind of a question that you want to ask people you need to spend hours upon hours going through thread after thread looking for the answer that you want before you should even bother making a post because that's just wasting all these people's time. to me I think that's just a waste of time. Because were talking about a form that has been around for many many years now and there's so many threads so many posts that it makes it a little bit difficult for newer people to find what they want to even with the search option that there is.
It feels like you're a third wheel in a group of friends you just met who have been talking and laughing about the same inside joke for the last 3 hours that you're never going to get because you weren't around when it started.
Maybe I'm just weird and I don't get any of it. I'm one of those people who just enjoys modifying cars for no reason other than to just do that or to learn something new that I've never known how to do before.
and there's probably plenty of people on here who can point out where I've been an A-hole and said a bunch of stupid stuff to people and made a bunch of stupid posts but I don't really care. I just want to talk to people I just want to talk about the vehicle I'm passionate about that I'm spending all this money and time and investment in for my own pleasure. I would like to bounce ideas off people on what they think about a certain modification or taking parts off their car that nobody would modify and do something weird with them that others would not normally do.
As an example what I've always wanted to do with my car is by another set of steel rims and have them stripped and Polished and just paint the face of the wheels and leaving nice polished lip.
Another example is I'm a huge fan of Mad Max my car is black it's two door why not have side pipes like Mad Max that's pretty stupid and it's pretty pointless as well serves no purpose other than to make your car loud and obnoxious. But I digress
Those are just some of my reasons and I'm sure there's going to be a lot of people disagree with it.
