Why Do Members Find It Necessary To Post Explicit Details Of Their Car When Replying
 

For example: There could be a thread about map lights and people that respond will say I have a 08 Z51 6spd and bla bla bla. So what, what bearing does that have on the subject matter. By pointing that out is that supposed to give you more credibility in your response? I just never understood this.

So others can start threads about it. Understand, man?

Oh yeah, I've got a 2013 GS in Cyber Grey with paddles on the inside wheel.

Don't know about other's but the only time I include any 'specifics' about mine is when I think it could have an impact on the discussion; for example, if someone asks a question about handling or ride, I'll include the fact I have the Z51 package. Haven't really paid too much attention when other's have included 'specifics' when reading their replies. :flag:

I'm really not sure why. I've got a '68 t-top with a crate 350. Laguna Blue.

I have an 08 Z51 6spd in Victory Red.

Oh here we go!

I think if they have a similar car or set up its kind of like credentials, especially if its modded a bunch. If you mod a car there almost always growing pains that go along with it, issues that arise. I think its like saying I'm in the same boat and have been there and done that. 2006 base model, cammed, blown, methanol spraying, parachute having, 750 wheel hp all American shitbox.

but you failed to mention the year or color. Those are vital details that must be included.

By the way I have ‘12 GS. It’s white, has an automatic transmission. NPP exhaust. Lol

Mine is an F55 and it has the badges to prove it. Any of you losers wanna race? :eek:

Good catch, it's a 2006 DSOM base with the 3LT and Z51 packages :lolg:

Exactly. When the discussion is about, led lighting, nav radios, power window problems, etc...who gives a rats ass if you have a 08 Z51 6spd when you reply to discuss led lighting.

Oh right make sure you also include whether you car is a 1LT, 2LT, 3LT, 4LT when replying to a led lighting thread. lol

YOU give such a rats ass, you started a thread about it. See what I did there? Lol

2009 2LT with 41U and Z51 here.

Because some feel it's helpful to the discussion, some are bragging, and some are just plain nuts......

Very interesting and I dont know why people do that.

btw I have a 131k miles since new 2008 black c7 targa glass roof and a short throw mgw shifter. I put in a COW booster and cow tune about 40k miles ago and my corvette also has an air raid intake. I put c7 z51 19 and 20 inch rims on as well. I have bilstein shocks,. THe car was a 1Lt and I had the HID installed at carlise five years ago when the DSv D shaped sterring wheel installed.

have a sense of humor. Life is too short to let nonsense bother you.

find the good in life and enjoy.

btw right now I have 18/19 inch snow tires on as I use my corvette as a daily driver and I can wait until april so I can put my summer wheels and tires back on.

the reason why people describe their corvette most probably is because we all share a common interest.

Yeah that's pretty accurate.

As far as I can tell, it's mostly the guys who treat their Z51s like they're a separate C6 model, and there are usually a couple guys quick to correct them.

Regardless, it's better than the threads we also see, generally by noobs, functional illiterates, geriatrics (or a combination of those), who post something like "My car don't shift right, what's wrong?" and then get bent out of shape when you ask simple questions like auto or manual, mods, etc.

In my previous life as a service writer I found it was always better for someone to give too much information rather than me having to pull teeth to try to get someone to form a complete sentence. Too many stories to even start.

Question:
How do you remove the door panel on a C6?
Person replies:
I have a 09 Z51 2LT 6spd and the way I took off the door panel is bla bla helpfull? lol

I know... just seems odd....
