I agree with several members that things get a little testy from time to time here on the Corvette Forum. However, this forum is quite tame compared to others that I frequent.

Good thing you live in FL. When you get tired of riding, you already own the boat anchor...

The internet relieves some of that obligation, exposing them as mere punks!

It's all Donald Trump's fault.

It is a road which runs across lower FL...
With a lot of FHP waiting to get you. It is a very straight road with water on both sides and nothing but pavement in front of you and pavement in the mirror.
Before the fence was put up, alligators would lay in the roadway.
I am sure some still make it there.

It's an internet forum, what did you expect?

It’s all good. Two sides to every story so to speak. To many people get their panties in a wad if anyone dares say anything negative about a Corvette. There is good info to be learned from some of the members here while other members bring nothing but bad attitudes.
If someone declares a post BS then others sometimes jump up and offer a holier than thou opinion. Sometimes I get the impression that some people here just need to grow a pair.
It’s the internet, have fun, enjoy the wisdom offered, or not.

I have noticed over the last several weeks that a lot of owners/members have been what I would call “on edge.” As I read some of the posts and comments, I can’t help but notice the general anger for lack of a better word in some of them. I realize it is the nature of some people. It’s their personality, but I can’t understand why there seems to be so much combative conversation. I’ve seen plenty of name calling (Had a guy call me a dork recently because I posted an opinion thread.) I don’t know I just don’t get it obviously. Why on earth would someone who owns such a beautiful piece of machinery that is really just a toy if you think about it, be so angry all the time? I think the general attitude of these less than happy people seem annoyed at everything. You can almost see them rolling their eyes as they’re typing away a response that’s less than friendly.
It’s sad really.
Have be a better day!

Number one reason I'm reluctant to post too many dick waggers out there. Who in real life would not be half as brave.

Great post. I've only been here a few months, learning. I get so pissed when I see someone asking a question, only to be told, by senior members, to RTFM. Some of us didn't have the manual... or a Corvette. Then it goes on to belittle the OP. If members don't have an answer, then don't post...unless you have something positive or actually answer the question.
As for people who join just to ask a simple question that's answered in the Owner's Manual (they're available on line, not just in paper in the car) that's just being lazy. There's a wise saying about teaching a man to fish instead of giving him a fish. It applies to lazy people on internet forums too.
Oh, and this thread has nothing to do with C7 Gen and should have been posted in OT. It would be real interesting in there.

I thought I would see a Corvette with "TENSION BLUE" interior! 
We have had a very mild winter been 50-60 everyday here for weeks on end and I think we saw about 28 for what seems like 1 night this winter..
Life is GOOD!

While that has some merit, this isn't just a Q&A forum, it's a discussion forum. If the only thing that was allowed was an answer to a question, every thread would have two posts; a question and an answer.

Guess I've just gotten into the habit of posting in the Gen. area.

100%. I fear that many of our posters are afflicted with TDS, i.e, Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Some of the generation forums here allow off topic threads and some don't. This one tends not to.
If you do venture into OT, or especially PR&C, you'll think this one is incredibly nice and civil.
