Fanboy posters
Which group does the most fanboy postings?
fanboy: A person who loves something without question
or
person who has an undying urge to sway everyone that is not a believer of the belief system they have towards a game or system or every piece of hardware. If they do not succeed, they will not sway from their statement infront of anyone who knows their stance

Sort of odd seeing that term used in a car forum.
Its a term usually applied to hard core video gamers, computer operating system devotees, and television addicts.
Especially in the video game industry. Devotees of a particular video game console manufacturer, Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony usually have an undying devotion to their brand of choice and will not tolerate devotees of the other brands or games available for those brands.
Fanboys of one particular video gaming system have been known to go so far as to damage store displays of another video gaming system.
While people are enthusiastic about their choices, whatever they may be, I like to think that no one here would go to extremes comparable to that.
The demographics of this site don't suggest that very many video gamers are here.
In any event, I voted Zaino.

Or introducing viruses and other malicious content into "rival" computers. I have personally witnessed this myself at a local Comp USA some time ago. Someone delibrately trying to lock up a Macintosh computer.

But this time a vote for the party would be self-deragatory, so I understand your position.
I for one am nearly apolitical, so I don't generally vote. If I did though, my vote(s) would definitely be for our 'mayor' of Z51.

You don't generally vote?
Thats a shame. Since the American Revolutionary war, too many people have fought and died to preserve our right to vote. I consider it a responsibility to partake in our political process. I vote as a matter of routine in nearly every election.
But not to get too far off the beaten path. To me, there are certainly worse things than being a Z51 Fanboy. "Former C5 owner, current base C6 owner" immediately comes to mind.
I'd have just as soon kept my modded low 12 second 2003 C5 than to go to a base model C6.
Give me Z51.........or give me death.
