J/K What is wrong with agreeing with someone. There is nothing wrong with letting people know about their car, etc. I don't see anything wrong with it.

You mean this is not a C6 related topic? Maybe someone should start a thread complaining about that.

I gave you a real answer. I don't see anything wrong with it. It is not hurting anyone, and you are communicating with others on this forum by letting them know about what they did.

Tough sometimes to figure out when to compliment or congratulate someone for getting a new car .. .putting on a major mod or whatever. If you ignore the post, then the guy may think his hard work isn't appreciated . . .on the other hand, I'm sure your point is well taken although frankly, I've never worried about my own number of posts and am incredulous at some of the OT gang with 10-15,000 messages . .

Good point though. . .and at least my addition is a bit more thoughtful
