the only Cav I would want is the rare hatchback...
hmmmmm, what about a Toyota Cavalier???
Its true... part of the "deal" in mixing the Geo and Toyota lines was Toyota would import into Japan the Cavalier...
Hmmm, now as far as Vs. threads....
it was getting annoying... arbitrary decisions based on prejudice and stereotype
Ok--I realize I was a little heavy handed last night. You can go ahead with the VS threads.
I apologize for any inconvenience, heartache, angst or sad puppy eyes this may have caused.

Oh, why'd you go and do that!!!
Oh, so that is what happened to my VS thread. I thought I was loosing my mind a little when I could not find it anymore.

It's like Rick Perry had sex with a horse and then applied some makeup to it with a shotgun.
I saw them as an interesting way to lay down some tech on differing vehicles. It would be interesting to start a database of different cars with tech specs, what can be easily done power wise with mods, weak points, how much tire can fit, and so on..
But the VS setup of the threads led to a lot of fire from the hip thought. People will be predjuice on different cars and it can be an emotional issue.
For instance, in the mustang vs z car thread I am on the mustang side, mostly because its what I know.. Seeing what a BSP 300zxTT can do power-wise was a big surprise for me. Probably wouldnt want one because of hearing what a PITA they are to work on, but it is fun to know what can make it worth it.

Wuss. It's a sad commentary on what USED to be a great board, has turned into. Between all of the stupid VS. threads and the multitude of craigslist ads, or which car threads, there isn't a whole lot on here that interests me anymore. If some of these people don't exercise a little restraint, this board might become as bad as the fast and furious bling boards. That's a shame. Please don't let the dweebs take over the Spockets board! rant out

So you'd rather kick out all the car threads where people were actually learning stuff about cars and sharing tips, discussing engine and suspension modifications, driving impressions, etc to have more... what? Hotlinking? Political floundering? Hootus and your momma joke threads?
Some people...
Caviler Z24 used to do pretty well in autocross right? I saw a CP Cimmaron once with huge hoosier slicks that was pretty fast too. lol
And Elan for sure, either the old one or the isuzu one, miatas arent exciting anymore.
Can someone please tell me why in the name of God Toyota liked the Cavalier so much they sold it under license?
If the GN vs. SC thread got un-civil, I missed it. I did see some people I know from the SC board come over here to help defend it, but last I saw we were all playing nice.
Shame, too, since the SC was doing so well...

Did you actually read the post? Obviously reading comprehension isn't a strong suit.Just a quick sampling: not one but two separate Fiat vs Alfa spyder threads,The VS.Thread vs. The Other VS. Threads, the My Unit VS. Your Mom thread....A lot of sharing automotive goodness, driving impressions, modifications, and tips in that gem. I'll put it terms that I hope you'll understand-I was bemoaning the fact that instead of mods, automotive Q & As, tips, etc., it seems, IMHO, that the board is being overrun with sophomoric nonsensical CRAP. I wish it could go back to how it was- a place you could get help or share something cool, or vent about something. But what do I know? I'm just an old super dork. I'll fold up my cape and go to bed.

Obviously it was reading comprehension that was failing you, brother. I was in support of the automotive versus threads only and specifically targeted the Off Topic ones as dumb, but hey you just keep making it unfriendly in here for all of us wusses and dweebs. I'm going back to the garage.
Out.
