Maybe a new forum for all the whiners needs to be considered. My paint isn't perfect....wha. The dealer won't change my oil every 500 miles for free.....wha. There is a slight vibration when I hit 180mph.....wha.

I guess if someone finds a problem with their new C7 that they dreamed about getting, they should just smile and forget about it. No complaining allowed....

Certainly some can carry a problem or an issue to extremes but more often than not, guys are just looking to see if anyone else has has a similar issue with their car or are looking for a little guidance in resolving a problem.

Especially newer members. While many of us that hang out here and may have seen the same issue being discussed many times before. the new guy usually has no clue as to the number of times something has been discussed before.

I tend to cut guys plenty of slack as this may be the only place they can go (short of the dealership who is usually clueless regarding specifics on a Corvette) to get answers or find out if something is normal or not.

We can pretty much identify those in our membership with a chronic "b!t*h".

You may need to take your nightly dosage.

This forum is to discuss the car most of us love. That includes the good and the bad about the car.

Since my new one is on order, I appreciate reading about some of the issues I need to look out for when she arrives.

so you're whining about everyone whining that somethings wrong with their car? So, in other words, you're whining about nothing in particular, while they are whining about a problem, and you think they're wrong?
