OUR vettes,,,,,its MY vette......dont even try to tell me what to do...
[QUOTE=Nyte]We do it so our Vettes don't end up with Giant Wings, 20" spinners, and flashy gold vynal interiors with rhinestones everywhere.
Because of that I'd rather people come on and ask and get 60% YES/40% NO and do the mod
and...
0% yes/110% NO(!) and don't do the mod.

I see it being this scenario... I like two different sets of wheels... they are the same price. I cannot make up my mind, as I like them equally. I will query fellow enthusiasts and ask them what they think of each wheel... their feedback and opinions will become the basis for what made me choose one wheel over the other, as I myself liked both equally. Their feedback (Those are hot wheels!/I wouldn't wipe my butt with those wheels.) will help me make my decision.

We each have our own opinions, as demonstrated by our individual choices. The conflict arises when we we try to inflict our unwelcomed opinions, or contrary opinions.
If this forum was limited to discussions on how to make the car go faster only, or how to improve performance, it wouldn't be "General". I prefer to spend my time here as opposed to the FI Forum, or the Tech Forum - because of the nature of the discussions and topics.

Aplogies is this has been said, but here goes.
I figure most people want to mod their rides. However, they aren't really all that opinionated and are open to any ideas that might come along. I am in this category to some degree. I know what I do like, but there are some things on which I could go either way. What's wrong with getting an opinion or 50 from others in your "clique?"
Also, there may be something that is actually a sort of taboo, and nobody wants to unknowingly bolt, glue, stick, strap or weld on something that is going to have others shaking their heads. We're only human.

It also helps to alter a common phrase when people post their responses...
That is, opinions are NOT always like a-holes, where everyone has them. But rather that opinions are most commonly given by them.
