Default New Thread discussion

This is a "new thread" new thread.
How about a category called "whiners", or "former Corvette enthusiasts"?
The general discussion seems to be a mixture of guys and gals with helpful or interesting observations, and disgruntled, misled, dissatisfied owners who want to whine. I'm getting tired of the whiners. The vast majority of postings are positive, encouraging and uplifting. The others are just a big PITA. If you made a poor choice or it really doesn't come up to your pie-in-the-sky expectations, just move on. We really don't care.
That all, I'm done venting. I'll go out and hug my 73 and lay a few loving words on my 95.

Sounds to me like you're just whining. This forum is a nice mixture of people from all ages, all experiences, and all walks of life. There's no one here that doesn't have some interest in Corvettes, or why would they be spending their valuable time here, rather than watching some exciting football game?

are you sure you don't want to go out and plasti dip the wheels black, and suck a half gallon of seafoam up the brake booster hose with rubber nose

Your post wants me to express how I will enjoy the 47 mile drive home from work today in my 92' with the sun shining. And then I too will go out to the garage and hug my 76'

Well, one good whine deserves another.

Sometimes the fails come too quickly in succession to deal with. Sometimes one needs to vent. Everyone has a breaking point.

Crank up Adele, grab a box of tissue and pretend you give a flip.

We'll be there for you too someday.

I agree with We Gone and Renfield. Almost everyone gets frustrated with their car once and a while, whether it's a Corvette or VW, and need to vent. I think it's not so much "whining" as it is asking for help.
