Default Whiners and Complainers

First I have had several corvettes over the years. All but my current 2015 C7 A8 have had issues to correct and all issues were corrected.

This was long before Facebook and Forums.

Personally i am sick and tired of all the "whinners" who complain about the Corvette. Something is not right, have it repaired. You not sure, ask a question.

You don't like it, sell it, just stop the crying. It's a machine. You want an investment go buy a gold bar, put it on the kitchen table, pour yourself a cup of coffee, and stare at it.

STOP WHINING!

Had to vent

I guess it's OK for you to vent but not others ?

Sounds to me like your complaining and whining about those that whine.

I only opened this thread cause I thought there might be some cheese and crackers being served with the whine...of course not in the Corvette, no food/crumbs inside my Corvette, that might effect its resale value...

You can put the chronic complainers on ignore.

However, I reserve that feature for just a few of the extreme BSers.

The complainers I just chuckle at.

I really don't mind a complaint if it's valid. And like you some just need an ear to listen to a rant. It's the ones that have no idea what a car does, or how a large V8 engine acts that get me. I know some folks aren't car savvy like many here, but come on, "My engine doesn't idle as smooth as my 4 cylinder Camry."

Whenever I see/hear whining for the sake of whining I'm reminded of this song - one of the funniest songs ever (give it a listen - all the way through):

Duh! Let me welcome you to the Internet, where, like liberals, if there weren't double standards there would be no standards at all!

There have been a number of genuine problems posted about the C7 - and nothing wrong with bringing those issues to the attention of forum members. What has been good about the posts is in most cases a solution has also been posted.

I don't mean to complain, but the first-person pronoun, I, should be capitalized. Furthermore, there should be only one "n" in whiners; unless, of course, the use of quotes is to distinguish the obscure noun "whinners" as some metaphorical reference to disgruntled Mustang owners.

Despite these errors, and other less egregious grammatical transgressions, your point is well taken.

Although I have been a member of this community for a relatively short time, albeit virtually the same length of time as you, it has been my observation that those who demonstrate the traits you disdain make up an extremely low percentage of the membership. That should give rise to cheer rather than sorrow.

I hope the rest of your day went better!
