People also need to realize that not every word is typed in anger and some are just joking (although yes some are jerks).

Agreed. I was just being a sarcastic smartass with my posting . I actually don't bash anyone, cause we all were there once in our internet lifetime. ..

I really enjoy answering questions when I can but sometimes they are just so unanswerable because they are subjective ("What colour should I wrap my car?", "what coilovers are the best?"), so broad that they can not be answered without writing a thesis (" how does direct injection work?"), just plain ridicules ("Show me a picture of your RPMs at start up") or so variable that any answer is meaningless ("how much do you guys pay in insurance").
When those big questions come up then I give them a link to where the info is already written. Pretty much every thing known about these cars is already here someplace and although the search sucks monkey butt a 10 minute browse through the right section will always reward the person with results.
Then they get to have the fun of trying to figure out which side of all the following debates is the right one but that is a whole different topic.

So basically, lets not post anymore is what I'm getting from your post.

So the people from 2013 were allowed to ask what color to paint there car but the guys joining now are not? Maybe the guy who wrote paint it red in 2013 has changed his mind and will say blue?

I don't agree, it's a forum...i believe the same questions can be asked multiple times and the same conversations can be had because there is always new opinions and new members who are looking for conversations. Especially the new members man...they want to feel like they are talking to others members...not just searching older threads and seeing what others wrote and if they dare to bump an old thread everyone will go crazy on them also.

I'm on a music forum and the community there is so much more friendly. You can talk about the same things and people never complain. The ones who don't like the thread just don't show up to it.

The forum members here need to learn that they don't need to post in every thread. If you think the thread is stupid or a repeat, just don't post.

Nah Imp I must not be explaining well.
I am all in favour of questions and new comments. I obviously enjoy my time and the camaraderie here and get satisfaction out of helping when I can and I know that many others do as well. But ...sometimes there are things asked that have already been answered in better detail then could ever be provided to each separate individual and those are the times that they need to be directed to that existing info.
And let's be totally honest there are many just plain silly threads that are apparently made just for the sake of starting conversation.
Like I said before this is the internet after all.
