Pfft...That's NOT a Grand Prix!

[Slowpoke]

easy solution slowpoke, QUIT POSTING PICS OF YOUR RUSTANG

I didn't, this didn't have anything to do with anything I posted. For instance the Ohio meet picture thread, and kyle99gtp's thread about his sti. Folks cryin about pictures of cars other then Grand Prixs, on a Grand Prix forum. For the most part I avoid putting pictures up of anything I drive, mostly because people like you gonna hate. I doesn't matter how real I try to be with you guys, you're gonna talk sh*t. I'm not mad about it, that's just how it is.

This wasn't about why dont you guys like this car or that car (in above cases both are scoobs), everybody has thier likes and dislikes. If you want to hate on other makes/models, more power to you. It's the complaining of someone actually posting something they own (other then a GP) in the first place that's dumb as hell. It's like, how dare you! Grand Prix's ONLY, nothing else allowed! Seriously? I must have missed that rule. Closed minded fools, should STFU.


This is all just my opinion though, and should be takin with a grain of salt. It's just a rant, take it for what's it's worth.......a bottle of piss.

I guess it would be worth knowing: Why in the fuc would somebody join this forum if they don't drive a W-body?

Don't we have a section for other cars? If not could we maybe just have a seperate section for other cars because we most of us drive other vehicals too, and or work on others. I think it would be nice to be able to get tips not on just my w-body but things I can do on all my cars or trucks.

Not saying we need anything with detail but I've learned a lot on this fourm and I mean a lot, and being able to see other projects on other cars would help me learn more. Plus aren't we all car people? if we are then we should be happy to look at somthing else other than a w-body... just my thoughts

To gain knowledge on competitors cars or to gain a better understanding of a particular car. I joined to help my friend on here when his LIMs went. Because of GPF.net we jumped right it and in a few days had "Jenny" down to the culprit gaskets and flushed almost everything while we were there. Yes, eventually we had to call in support but that support arrived in the form of another member from here. Prior to that I had only a little experience with engines (I had torn a 60's Ford 302 block down with the intention to rebuild it and plop it into something - that's on hold currently)

Well, like I said before, this wasn't about me or anything I have/had/or want. It's not about people who want to hate on Ford, or Subaru, or anything else. It was about the mentality that a few here have, that unless it's a GP, pictures of it don't belong don't belong on the site. I believe bio more then likely understands where I'm coming from. I'm not saying this site should be taken over by other makes/models. It's just that some folks have other cars too, they should be allowed post pics of it without some idiot saying some sh*t like "oh, I thought this was a grand prix forum".

I'm already on LS1tech, hardly post there anymore though. It's been years since I had a reason to (sold my old fbody years ago). After I got my first mustang (03 GT) it was 85% GTFO, 10% sh*t's slow, wanna race?, 5% nice stang. That's just the hate game though, I don't take an issue with the game, I just choose not to play it.

But GPF seems to have more "OMG GRANDPRIX FOREVER" than the other forums I frequent.

It's not just a GPF problem. It's the average L67 GP owner, period. Forget OTHER cars. They don't even want to see GPs that came before their body style, or aren't equipped with a supercharger from the factory, much less other makes and models. I've been active on w-body sites for almost 10 years now, and I noticed the attitude right away when I joined ClubL67 (as I call it) and it's local chapter. While everything about the car was broken down into categories for the '97 & up, the '88 - '96 had just one forum to cover everything about the car.

I still remember going to the ILGPC Casper's Electronics mod day meet years ago. The guy who ran the site (I think his name was John), and one other guy were cool. The rest? Someone asked me which car was mine, and another guy I had talked to earlier decides to answer for me by saying, "he has the OLD Grand Prix". On the ILGPC boards, I posted a w-body.com meet once, which at the time was mostly Gen I w-bodies, to which one of the female members responded "I can't make it, I'm shaving my ass that day". The last straw was when the owner of the site started a thread stating he needed some help with a '94 GP he bought, and one of the members responded with "we don't deal with pre '97s". That was it. I PMed my e-mail to John and offered to help him, told the rest of the site what I thought about their god complex over their GTPs, and never visited that site again.

I've also never been on a site for any platform or model of car where almost all the members not only have just one era of that platform/model, but worse yet, call the generation that came before it "pregen". This term "pregen", which originated on ClubGP years ago, makes absolutely no sense. That is why it's not in the vernacular of any true car enthusiast. It's either Gen I (in reference to the generation of w-body), or Gen 5 GP, NOT "pregen".

Besides the whole hatred towards anything prior to the Gen 6 GP, AND even "current gen" GTs, I noticed most of them really didn't know much about cars in general. The fact that most owners think the almighty L67, a supercharged 3.8L 6-cylinder which produces a whopping 240hp, was god's gift to the automotive world was only part of what gave that away. I was astonished to see most didn't have basic "car guy" knowledge. I remember when the guy that owned Casper's posted a pic of the lightening rods from a 442 asking what they were called, and no one could answer. They showed no interest for anything that wasn't a '97 & up GP with a supercharger (or they'd let a turboed GT slide). And even if you had an approved car, the guys on ILGPC talked as much (if not more) about where they were meeting up to get drunk as they did about GTPs.

So basically, what I gathered from forums back then was that most GP sites are basically a gathering of alcoholic domestic ricers that just all happen to own Grand Prix GTPs. It's the reason I held off buying a Gen II GP for a long time. I didn't want to be associated with that crowd. That being said, this is by far the most laid back of the GP specific sites I've ever been on, which is why it's the only one I frequent anymore, but apparently even here, the attitude is prevalent (I don't visit too often anymore, so I wasn't aware of the extent till I saw this thread).
