The car just came out and there are discussions about it .

How many vettes have you owned or own BLUE OX ?
Take a look at when he joined the forum, and then take a look at the dates that people that have owned multiple Corvettes over a good period of time, joined. I'm guessing he recently(year or so back) purchased a used 2005 C6 and then joined the forum and now has become the expert on what a Corvette is(in his own eyes).

One is no longer bashing GM over the C7 design; now they are saying to those fellow Corvette buyers... I don't like your car.

Corvette enthusiasts don't do that to each other; even if a friend is determined to buy a 1984 C4...

The point of that is , its harder for me to admit the vette has a bad design than most people here.

I joined the Z06 forum in 2002 when I bought it new .The internet was small compared to what it is today .

Why is it that all the C7 backers have such an issue with those who don't totally favor the car? Everyone is entitled their opinion, some folks like more classic smooth and rounded lines, some people like the sharp and angular! Let everyone speak their mind and if you want to debate it then do so, if it is too offensive that God forbid someone does not like the almighty new C7 then don't engage in the conversation! And for no reason should it not be civil, some like blondes and some like brunettes!

I speculate about a lot of C7 stuff unlike some who consider themselves self-appointed C7 experts.

I've owned my '05 since spring of '07, as though that matters.

I assume you are a Corvette enthusiast (key word - enthusiast)? Because if you're solely an owner with no real love affair of the brand.... you'd be a reader/lurker; and not posting.

While one might be stomping mad at GM right now; us enthusiats still show respect to fellow enthusiasts... by not going into their section and slamming the entire car

When the Jalponic renderings came out , most people that saw them did not like them .

They said "please don't let that be the new corvette" .

The same people are now loving it .

The Jalpopnic renderings are dead on . I know I have spelled Jalponic wrong but you know what im referring to

if you venture into a particular series section of thie forum; solely to bash that entire series (a whole car negative post) then this will be handled the exact way it's been since day one; you'll be called a troll and the thread/reply locked.

your attempts to alter this into "everything must be positive" (which is completely inaccurate)... are moot.

Your Jedi mind tricks no longer work in the 21st century.
