No, the problem is you and not the repeated threads that come up. Just dont open the thread. Move on to the next one. Simple.

I agree. Maybe there should be a ban on any avatar with creepy clowns or a skull on them.

Another agreement. A currently running poll has consistently shown that at least 70% of members do not like BSMs. C5s are now between 9 and 16 years old. Apparently at one time BSMs were popular, but today's owners would rather not have them. Preferences change.

That same thread states there are 7 pages of threads with BSM in the title. I guess that means the moderators should lock any poll that's ever been asked before. C'mon people! Among other things, this forum is supposed to be a fun place to hang out. If I were to open a poll every 90 days asking, "Torch Red: Yes or No?" I can guarantee that for every 50 responses and photos there would be three "Not this again" posts.

But I digress. I got thrown by picture #4 in this post. The reflection looked like the car still had a BSM.

Car looks great, I like BSM's but that doesn't mean you don't still have 99% the car you previously had.

Nice car
