I like all fast cool cars so I belong to lots of forums. The other day I was looking thru the Challenger Forums and there was a thread about what car to choose given the prices quoted. It was between a Hell Cat and a Z06, both priced somewhat equal at around $84K.
I commented that if indeed the C-7 Z06 could be bought for that price it was the better choice and being a Corvette owner that's the direction I would go
Well Whoa Nellie, I was abused in a most verbal way, called an old white guy, bald, short, Hawaiian shirt wearing, didn't know how to drive and so on, and on. HOLY CRAP Batman.
I retorted briefly then figured why stoop to this level so I dropped out of the rhubarb. I will say that a few of the members apologized for the uncool bashing which I appreciated so I'm good with that.
But is there animosity between brands, WELL HELL YEAH THERE IS LOL.

No. I always wanted a vet and finally got a red C6? Then I stepped up to the plate and bought a new 991. I felt comfortable here. All I find on the Porsche Forum is arrogance......

We know we're the better forum, we just don't brag about it very often.

I will say almost all of the P drivers I've met on track days are really pretty nice, decent people. They're more than willing to let a Z06 pass everytime

Its usually just one or two jerkoffs that spoil the barrel right?
I have fun and learn an awful lot from forums, plus my skin is pretty thick so it rolls off the back. Cant take this inter-web stuff too seriously.

Having been online since 1994, IMO the online jerks are *probably* ordinary decent people IRL. For some reason, they view the anonymity of the internet as a free pass to be the biggest rectum they can be. I don't think they act that way at all in real life. If they did someone would kill them, lol.

I'm at a loss as to understand it beyond that.

"Jerkoff"... I miss that word. Haven't said it in a decade or two. We should bring it back.
