I would love to see the result if a decent sample actually voted.

Don't feel like arguing or debating. Just let the votes decide.

Great, tried to vote, closed. I think Torch is on the right track.

Why the train wreck? Worth the question. I do feel there are aspects that could be 'cleaned-up'.

Poll closed? Keep the A pillars black. Coloring them makes the car look akward and less lean, in my opinion.

The reason for the train wreck is this question is a matter of personal preference. There is no correct answer. I have been successfully married for many years because both of us recognize opinion is not fact. We allow each other the right to have different opinions.

In this situation if you do not like how the car is colored paint it! If GM had colored the A pillars some would complain. So paint them. I plan on painting just the hood vents. No big deal.

Thus the TRAIN WRECK...

Guess you better go through every thread and post your train wreck. At least this thread wasn't 400 posts of people bitching about personal preference. Thanks for trying to derail it though, that's awesome and totally useful of you...

Thanks but I only use the train wreck if, in my opinion, it is a train wreck.
There are lots of post where people disagree. Just not, in my opinion, worthy of a train wreck like this simple solution problem.

How kind of you. Let us enjoy the same courtesy. You seem a bit thin-skinned about your decision to purchase your new C7. You seem to attack anyone having an opinion other than yours about how wonderful and great the C7 is. You like it, I like it. You're already talking about changing the appearance of yours, but others cannot? Grow some, would ya'.

If it a prescription drug that is causing your confusion you may want to consult your doctor. I certainly do not have " thin skin". What I do have is talent for sarcasm which you must have mistaken for someone who cares.

Sarcasm, lke humor, is better left to those who know how to use it. Otherwise, you just look and sound foolish.

All the other threads that are mired in argument also have simple solution, wait for data to be released. Otherwise they are, like this thread, a matter of personal opinion. I personally like the vette the way it is, I just shopped the pics cause I could and I wanted to contribute.

Sarcasm is humor. But why would I think you would get that?
