Complainers Thread, Post Here
i do not know about the rest of you members,but i think it gets alittle old about guys complaining about their cars.alot of them have cars that are 6 or 7 years old,but not all.this is wrong,or this is broke,or this makes a noise.why not just fix the problem,instead of venting here?most members here love their cars and post alot of great pics and tech tips, and fixes to small and larger problems which makes this forum great.so maybe the mods can move the complainers threads here so if anybody is interested about reading why some guy does not like his car anymore for some reason they can go here directly.my $.02.

Sometimes those complainers are asking for help. Sometimes, it's asking how to fix the problem(s). Sometimes, it's asking who they need to buy the repair parts from.
But if complaining about C6 problems ever becomes against forum rules, we'll start removing their threads.
In the meantime, try ignoring the threads that bother you.

i understand alot of guys ask for help on stuff,me included.but when they knock the car or gm or say never buying gm again,this i dont get.f i did not like something i just get rid of it.just my personality.the reason i made this thread is it seams alot of complaining threads have popped up recently.their are 3 on the current page now.and i will ignore the complainers.i enjoy this forum greatly.it has given me alot of tips and help with my car and our hobby.
My complaint is about people who post without regard to proper spacing between sentences, who disregard the use of capital letters at the beginning of each sentence and when using the subject pronoun, "I", who omit the apostrophe when forming a contraction and who fail to capitalize the names of companies when using their abbreviated monikers.
I'll leave the poor spelling for later.

My vote, go own a Ferrari for at least 3 years, and when you have to drop $10K to pull the motor so you can change the timing belt once, all the minor gripping you have about a vet up keep will be long gone.
Same goes for when you have to have the valves adjusted on a 911 (will come to love push rod motors that hold settings for 100k instead).
For me, the Vet is a little high strung and will need a touch more maintenance than say a Buick, but when compared to other exotic cars, the cost of maintenance is pennies on the dollar instead (plus that fact that I beat on the car track driving it/drive it like I stole it, so it it what it is and now that I have to stay in front of problems).

I love my 06 vert. My only ever complaint about it has been the excessive heat from the driveline tunnel and trunk. GM should have (and should still, at their expense) install proper insulation underneath the car from the dash to the taillights.

I agree!
Here's my complaint of the day:
