I've said it before and will again. Comparos and car vs. car comparisions should be put in OT. They aways turn into crap and I'd rather not have them here.

Thanks for your attention to this matter.

Not sure they are OT, but they are definitely crap.

Can we get a 'crap' forum

Hey, you killed the thread! How was the "blathering" supposed to continue!!!!

Next we were going to debate the relative merits of German versus Japanese rust proofing and which adds more to 0-60 times. Or how about whether the Honda 'H' on the hood creates more drag than the Porsche crest...

Bye, Y'all

Cthree, I respectively disagree with you. I find the car comparisons start off at least interesting. If they turn into crap, it is our fault, the respondees, for turning into crap, not the topics.

Cthree, I agree with neppi, for what it is worth.

What could be more "Car Talk" than "Car vs Car Talk."

I'd make the "I smoked a 427 Cobra in downtown Manhattan" off topic. In fact, maybe I'd open a whole separate forum section called "Obscene driving by obscene drivers" for those threads, but I'd leave the "S2K vs some-other-car" stuff in "Car Talk."

Just my two cents. I love this website. You own it. Do as you see fit.

I'm with the others. I don't particularly care for comparisons but to say they're off topic because they degenerate isn't appropriate IMHO.

I think I am one of those who donated to the whole car v. car thing. Cthree did respond to one of my postings complaining that the current car I drive and why I bring these up which I thought was totally from left field.

But it's your board. Starting to sound like a grouchy old man.

Surely humour would be a better descriptor
