I think you are highly wrong there. The nature of a model-specific forum is that its respective members will prefer their car to other ones, hence this is why they are a member. If you really think that, try going to ANY of the supra forums, or if you really want one, try R3vlimited.com ( an E30 BMW forum) I love R3V, but if you think the SVX community flames people, you are DEAD wrong. The SVX forum is probably the most civil out there. Like someone said earlier, if you don't like it, leave

As for Subaru's being made by a god? Of course they aren't, I know that had I been driving the GM equivilient to an Impreza on October 19th, 1999 I would be well how do you put it DEAD. Doesn't matter to me if GM got their act together. They should have had their ACT TOGETHER FROM DAY ONE if you're selling rolling coffins!!!!!!! Then again, I only give people or companies 1 chance to screw up with something that is important. GM had done that the first time I had the opp to break down in that 76 Astro less than 1000 miles from the assembly line. Finally, WHY ARE YOU HERE?

srtforums.com supraforums.com superhonda.com vwvortex.com e46fanatics.com ls1.com ls1tech.com bimmerforums.com ... Every single brand- or vehicle-specific forum has this attitude. Bimmerforums is the worst. If they can't beat you in acceleration, or handling, then they just wax poetic about how they're driving a Bimmer and the other guy is driving a *insert any vehicle below $100k here*. F-body forums believe that the LS1 came from the hand of God.... They have the exact same attitude as the Bimmer guys when a Civic or any other import beats them: "Yeah, he put bus lengths on me, but at the end of the day, he still drives a POS civic." SRT Forums? Ugh. They'll flame you just for saying you own anything besides a Neon. Not to say that the SVX forums are much better. If someone beats an SVX in a straight line, or even in corners, it's always "Yeah, but let's try the same race in the snow! And wach as he powerslides his non-AWD ass off the cliff!" or "But our ecsaine and wood dash and interior is so much better than theirs... Our is just that luxurious" Same spin on the same tired excuses as every other forum. I don't expect things to ever get better. Rivalry and one-upmanship is why we're on these forums and not a general automotive forum: we believe our car is the best (or close to it) overall package, whether that's a combination of luxury, performance, handling, cargo size, gas mileage, value, and uniqueness, or whatever else. If we didn't, we probably wouldn't be on our respective forums. People have to understand that there's other perspectives on this besides their own, and some of them are pretty valid. Every group has their little stereotypes: imports are slow, domestics can't handle, small engines are useless, big engines guzzle gas, Japanese cars are cheaply assembled, domestic cars are poorly assembled, blah blah blah. Many of these don't hold water. I think it's always good to get another perspective, even if you don't agree with it all the time, as long as it's grounded in some foundation of logic. |

OTOH, I did okay in a Ford Contour in a pretty ugly accident. Wow. Ford must make some great f*ckin cars. Maybe I'm jumping into a snake pit, but it seems that nobody besides you, Shadow248, and NapaBavarian have any clue where the hell the snakes came from. Would anyone care to provide some info on this? Because eating popcorn without seeing any action gets kinda boring. Last edited by Red SVX 92; 01-25-2006 at 02:27 PM. |

Porsches? Why they get pulled in? Other then the Z06 no GM is even close. Or ford other then the recalled GT. OK, I'm now Porsche fanboi #1. We rock, you suck. There. Call me Switzerland, I'm sitting this one out.

Sure you might have had an issue with an 80 Corolla but I'd suspect you would've had the same issue with an 80 Seville as well. As for the Contour. It wasn't a bad car (or at least platform). Don't worry though as Bill Ford said they will no longer be producing vehicles that people don't want. As for the snakes, they're just here on loan until Shadow realizes that he should just leave for good.
