Congrats on the G35 - it is one very, very nice car. Wouldn't mind having one myself.

There are many things in life that I take very seriously, but people who like or dislike the cars I drive (or make negative comments about them) isn't one of them. Perhaps word filters excluding every make of car except Chevrolet, Corvette, and Vette are appropriate.

Gorgeous car! And an excellent DD to boot -- I'm thinking of picking up one once a few things mature (myself included 
) Congratulations!
The one thing I don't like about G35s, and I know this is hilarious coming from a C5 enthusiast, is... I'm not a big fan of G35's interior
Wouldn't stop me from driving one though

i have read the stickey before,it doesn't state that you should'nt discuss "comparing cars" with the C5 which the original poster was doing and what most of us do anyway. (rhetorical) how damn boring would C5 general be if it was just C5 talk all the time........

All I'm saying is that in order to make the entire forum a more enjoyable place for everyone, post in the appropriate spots. Sometimes this section becomes more like an owner's lounge than a forum to discuss General Topics pertaining to the 5th Generation of Corvette (hence the name C5 General) This is not a place to discuss the C6, or C4's - they have their own forums, just like Other Cars.
I am not the rules police, but the truth of the matter is that this place gets really cluttered with a buch of material that doesn't really belong. I heartily suggest that everyone check out the other sections of the froum, you might be surprised as to what all is out there.
Oh - one last thing.....just because it specifically doesn't state that it's not okay to post pics and discuss other cars here, doesn't mean that it is okay. I guess it was implied....

In fact I don't even have a subscription to any Corvette magazines -only general enthusiast related publications. I live, eat, sleep and dream cars....I love cars.

The whole point is there are several places right here on this very forum where you can talk about "Other Cars". No one is paranoid about reading about another vehicle other than a C5 Corvette - but this particular forum is meant to discuss them - not a G35 Infiniti. I'm glad the original poster loves his "other car" but if it doesn't pertain to a C5 Corvette, it doesn't belong here.
