This has happened 3 times over five years. What's with this board and feeling obligated to post their uninformed opinions on everything? I can post a car that's V year, W generation, X trim, Y model and Z brand and the entire thread will be flooded with memes and shitposting that's basically
>BUYING Z EVER

>NEW CARS ARE OBJECTIVELY BETTER AND ONLY POORFAGS DISAGREE
>OLD CARS ARE OBJECTIVELY BETTER AND ONLY RETARDS DISAGREE BTW I'M TOTALLY NOT POOR
>THIS CAR IS SHIT BECAUSE IT COMES WITH MORE THAN AN AIR CONDITIONER
It's not even trolling, just effortless shitposting and mods refuse to actually acknowledge rule 3. I'll admit I used to be one of these shitposters but I grew up and realized it was just obnoxious, not funny and making the site worse for everyone, now all I really do is help people if I'm familiar with a subject and occasionally bitch like this. Of course Veeky Forums always had shitposting but it was NOTHING like how it is now due to Veeky Forums gaining popularity among normies who shitpost to fit in and ban evading via phones and the worst part is I have nowhere else to go.

Fuck.

Get off the internet, real life is so much better.

I'm sorry you were memed into buying a GT86, but you don't have to project.

you've been spending too much time here
don't you have a girl or someone

wow op you manureposter

Go cry on /q/

What was the car ?

gt86 > brz

You say that, but everybody in real life is boring and self-absorbed. It's not even like highschool where I can just join whatever club interests me, it's beyond difficult to find people to do anything with in real life that isn't gay sex or some ungodly boring normie activity
">do extensive research"
>buy GT86
lolno. A lot of times cars really aren't worth it, but not for reasons shitposters think
I have a good amount of downtime with Veeky Forums access, it's just frustrating that every board has gone to shit to the point where you can't talk about anything. Alternative websites are even more garbage; reddit would have some potential if they got rid of the ridiculous site layout/upboat system
No I'll cry here, thank you.
If I name them the thread will just devolve into shitposting about them, but they're HIGHLY praised among reputable journalists/websites, people in general and so on.

>If I name them the thread will just devolve into shitposting about them, but they're HIGHLY praised among reputable journalists/websites, people in general and so on.

Be a sport. It's just a thread.

What was the car? Pinkie promise I won't make fun of it

>where I can just join whatever club interests me

actually yes it is

I feel you bro, it's easily the most obnoxious meme. I like mine and even boring shitposting won't change that.

>Be a sport. It's just a thread.
Alright, I'm honestly not even pissed given I stopped caring about the opinions of people who don't even know what they're shitposting about
>370z
You always see >NISSAN QUALITY and MUH PIGFAT about it but it's actually an exception for Nissan and it handles surprisingly well, that and 3.2klb is nothing considering really only the 86 and Miata are lighter and not >50k. It's a great sports car but I did sell it due to it being an unreasonably harsh DD
>NB Miats
Miata owners are some the nicest people I've ever met and the whole gay stigma is nonsense, honestly I'd rather people think I was gay than a manchild insecure about my sexuality. Anyway it is slow but one of the most fun cars I've driven, and the entire point of it is muh driver feel.

Let's play a guessing game with the third one through Veeky Forums's baseless shitposting
>X was the last good generation (this would be Y)
Y is actually very good, well-built and traded slight driver feels for significant power and quality over the last generation. Still pretty feelsy
>brand >luxury
It lags behind competitors because it's focusing efforts in other areas, mostly driver feels and performance
>muh pigfat
Still light and handles very well considering what it is, wouldn't call it a sports car though
>muh dipstick (might be too obvious)
YOU CAN CHECK THE OIL AND A THOUSAND OTHER METRICS/CONDITION OF PARTS WITH THE ONBOARD SCREEN
>it's shit because it's not
It's slightly slower but costs DRASTICALLY less to buy, own, maintain and so on. Costs aside, the flagship model is more of a DDable track car while this is more jack of all trades [accomplishes both DDability and performance/feels pretty well]
>only badgewhores buy Z make
Would've bought it even with a Honda badge. Okay, maybe not Honda, but something Ford or Mazda tier would be fine with me too.

If anyone else wants to defend their shitboxes from Veeky Forums memes go ahead

buy an audi

>I should mention for the "guessing game", the generation that followed Y in the first point was numb, floaty, pigfat mess of a car. I'm not even whining about Veeky Forums's opinions of my cars, just the overall post quality making any sort of discussion impossible

>deleted post to fix something
>quoted twice
>greentexted accidentally
I need sleep.
Huh? I did buy the third one but it's not Audi

i want to solve: e92 320

>e92
Yes
>320
No

(god damn I sound butthurt when I'm bored)

>Inb4 Veeky Forums was never good
Retards say this and believe they should continue to make it worse, basically newfags come in and see all the shitposting and "think" it's accepted on the board then there you go.. Another problem stems from phoneposters replying to their shitty bait threads to get the ball rolling, sad really. This place was alot better pre-2013 and has just started to degrade since then, I feel you OP but nothing will change

i really hate the e92's styling. dumb rear light cluster and a face ranging from slightly stupid to really dumb (m3)

Mods enforcing rule 3 would change. I like to use /b/ as an example with the whole "board was never good" thing. Old /b/ had legitimately interesting threads full of OC and actual discussion, new /b/ is /pol/ spillover, dick-rate, porn, gore and people who got lost looking for Facebook. I honestly wonder how a blue /b/ would fare. Hell even meta threads like this are nice before they devolve into /pol/ getting triggered over people saying /pol/ is ruining boards
Curious, which ones specifically? Most models had a bunch of different fronts over the years, pic related looks pretty good in my opinion but the non M-sport models are kind of disgusting. I do like the rear in general on E92s though.

/pol/ spillover is what is ruining most of the Veeky Forums boards. Just look at that fucking thread from yesterday about traffic in boston. It somehow devolved into an argument about whether or not Mediterranean people are white

it's staring dead ahead while wearing an underbite.

335?

Anyhow, i think all those cars are alright, dunno why you'd get riled up by obvious shitposters. Everything is a compromise when it comes to cars, you pick a car based on the compromises you're willing to accept

literally a clusterfuck. the rear running lights were shat onto a place where they don't belong, the rear light part on the truck doesn't serve any purpose.

*trunk

oh boy

more specific, it was about austrians being white lol

driving in vienna is so much better than in any german city, munich being the toughest competitor.

Honestly it boils down to the fact that liberal ideologies are on the rise even though they are inherently flawed. Obviously this cancer has infected most of Reddit which is where the Veeky Forums demographic largely stems from these days.

Veeky Forums is full of bench racers and 3k civics. Trying to get an actual discussion on Veeky Forums is rather pointless. The only time you're going to get reliable info is in the few generals scattered across Veeky Forums. You come to Veeky Forums to just meme and shitpost and rarely have a discussion. It's been like this for awhile, maybe back in 2010 we actually had civil conversations.

What car did you buy, faggot?

>mfw i broke gm fangirls beyond repair
it's nice to watch them sperg

Old Veeky Forums was actually pretty decent if all you care about is shitposting and tripfags making an ass out of themselves. Now all we have is mrcummy.

It's sad, but I miss neonfag and equinox...

Also RIP in peace frolo

Eh, opinions
Yes and it's not shitposters who don't like my car I take issue with, it's shitposters who make talking about any car impossible.
Ilikeittbh [picture]
>MUH LIBTARDS
Here we go again, see . Liberal ideologies are literally open-mindedness and a willingness to change, shitting on things for being "liberal" is just nonsense, SJWs and other cancer like that are the exact opposite of liberalism at its core
Basically, but as I said, nowhere else to go
After the first week it was pretty much just falseflaggers triggering other falseflaggers

Not him but personally I never got why everyone loved tripfags so much, at best they were just posting at the quality of anons but usually they were just being attention whores. LPG was the only one I can remember that only used his trip for good

but you're the problem with Veeky Forums, bringing up reddit and politics out of nowhere which is just a death sentence for any thread

There was a brief moment in Veeky Forums's history where not all tripfags were attention whoring meme spouting shitposters.

But what did they actually add to the board that they couldn't do anonymously? I've been on this shithole for nearly a decade at this point and don't recall ever thinking "oh hey X posted, this is probably going not going to be a shitpost"

Personally I'm considering tripping on here just because I like helping people but want to establish some credibility

>this is what gm fangirls believe

>believe Veeky Forums for a while

idiot

It was usually something that they contributed or wanted to be recognized by. Like in /a/ for example, some user would dawn a trip to post translated chapters of a manga so people knew it was legit. Or in the early years of Veeky Forums we had tripfags that worked at Toyota or Nissan dealers they would post helpful info about anons cars.

I get that, but these tripfags would also leave their trips on when it's not relevant to anything simply because they want to be recognized in any discussion. That's what separates a good from a bad tripfag

I've posted on a few of the hobby boards including Veeky Forums for 5+ years, they have always been shit and always will be shit, you are just more cognisant of it since you know a bit more and are more able to realize almost nobody knows anything about cars on Veeky Forums, fitness on Veeky Forums, etc. There was no heyday of Veeky Forums, people whined about Dead like they do about Alphonso, people jerked off to That Dude instead of LPG, it's always been the same shit. I don't see why people continue to come here expecting anything else, when you expect nothing it's an entertaining place.

Yeah sorry, I wasn't stroking tripfag dicks. I was saying that their faggotry was amusing to watch. It was even better when the watracing site started that tinyeye chat.

LPG and RAINBOWRANGER were the two decent examples that I can remember.

>tripfags would also leave their trips on when it's not relevant to anything simply because they want to be recognized in any discussion
Yeah, those are just faggots and make up 90% of today's tripfags. The useful ones are almost non-existent these days.

>it's an entertaining place
Best way to sum up Veeky Forums.

Every single time I'm in /bmw/ half the thread is you getting triggered and going nuclear over anybody who disagrees with you

agreed. it's entertaining to watch gm fangirls sperg

>Liberal ideologies are literally open-mindedness and a willingness to change,

just look at the entire liberal agenda. there isn't a single thing on there they can do that doesn't try to rob more money and more liberties away from hard working citizens like me. this whole "open-mindedness and willingness to change" sounds nice on paper but to actually accomplish that you have to fuck other people over.

>holy shit, we should have free college tuition! it makes so much sense.
>omg how are we the only nation that doesn't have universal healthcare? we need to get just get it! we spend more on healthcare even without it!
>lol are you kidding? sexual education and contraceptive services should OBVIOUSLY be taxpayed funded. What kind of nazi piece of shit are you?
>we need more mental health services for our country.

sounds great. why dont you retards pool your money together and do it.

oh wait...

daily reminder that there's nothing wrong with universal healthcare. if you weren't a braindead Republican you would understand this simple fact.

/pol/ get out

Except you continue to prove your knowledge of liberalism is just what you hear spouted from /pol/ and conservatives. "robbing muh hard working citizens muh liberties" is the most obvious trap for pandering politicians. You also seem to think poorly implemented socialism is the same thing as liberalism
>Liberalism is a political philosophy or worldview founded on ideas of liberty and equality.[1][2][3] Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding of these principles, but generally they support ideas and programmes such as freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, free markets, civil rights, democratic societies, secular governments, gender equality, and international cooperation.
>Conservatism is a political and social philosophy that promotes retaining traditional social institutions in the context of culture and civilization. By some definitions, Conservatives have variously sought to preserve institutions including religion, monarchy, parliamentary government, property rights and the social hierarchy, emphasizing stability and continuity, while the more extreme elements called reactionaries oppose Modernism and seek a return to "the way things were

If you support muh freedoms you'd be liberal, if you want to censor everybody who disagrees with you and not let people enjoy freedoms you don't personally support, conservatism is the way to go. You can be a SJW and call yourself liberal but it doesn't mean you actually are liberal

I'll let someone who doesn't know what they are talking about know that they are wrong, but don't mistake that for being triggered. People who take anything seriously on this board aren't going to stick around for very long.

massive trigger incoming

>If I think I'm right that means I'm right and I should ruin the thread for everyone so people can know I'm right
This is why people hate tripfags

You're still a thing?

I don't need a history lesson on classic liberalism. It's obvious when I am referring to liberals I am talking about it in the modern context of extreme reddit-tier leftists. What pisses me off is that you knew this too yet you went out of your way to make that pointless post

>Naming yourself in an anonymous image board
>not inherently seeking attention

somebody has to stick around to keep the gm fangirls in check.

Explain to me how it's fair to make someone pay for something they don't want to pay for. Look at the current implementation of Obongocare: the people that need it the least end up paying the most. I don't know what kind of ass backwards reality you live in where you find that acceptable. Personally, I am glad the ACA got passed because it red pilled the non-degenerates of our country real fast

>Ignores what a liberal/conservative is at their fundamental level
>Every liberal is extreme left (which is closer to the moderate right than moderate left in values)
>muh reddit
>Wants to be taken seriously
When I say liberal I mean liberal, not what you envision them as

>This is why people hate tripfags
Most people don't care. Some spend the two seconds turning off trips in a filter. A small group constantly complains about a feature of the board as if their whining will accomplish something, not sure why, I imagine they were rewarded for whining growing up and expect the same to continue in other places. Personally if I don't like what someone posts I just don't read it, might be worth a try.

>You say that, but everybody in real life is boring and self-absorbed. It's not even like highschool where I can just join whatever club interests me, it's beyond difficult to find people to do anything with in real life that isn't gay sex or some ungodly boring normie activity

Absolute bullshit. I do more shit now as an adult than I ever did in HS, and I was in every club/sport possible in high school. You are either not trying, or you are the edge lord problem. Granted you could be living in a town with 2k people. If so, move.

inb4 excuses.

Regardless of your trip being on or off, you're still shitting up a thread because it has to be about you

Well by that same logic you should know that the political climate has never been about liberals vs. republicans, it has been about liberals vs. libertarian ideologies and unfortunately republicans are the closest thing to do that

Then how do I actually find people? I'm getting out of my state soon so I'm not bothering here, but moving to Denver. Video games, sports, a band, anything; people will either be god awful to the point where it isn't fun or ultra-competitive and WAY beyond my skill level

Actual republicans are not even close to liberal ideologies. In the US the -real- left is normal people, what people think is the left is the right in mindset (getting triggered over nothing and wants to censor anything that doesn't particularly pander to my sensibilities), self-proclaimed rights are the far right, SJWs are also the far right.

If we're really being anal, democrats and republicans swapped positions a while ago

>Miata owners are some the nicest people I've ever met and the whole gay stigma is nonsense
The gay/hairdresser stigma isn't an Veeky Forums thing, it's standard automotive banter. Deal with it.

t. former NB owner

>The gay/hairdresser stigma isn't an Veeky Forums thing, it's standard automotive banter. Deal with it.
I'm aware and I'll even joke about it, but people who take this sort of thing seriously are insecure manchildren. The thing is if someone "bants" about a Miata and you return bants, more often than not they'll get hyper-defensive and beyond mad

Also here's a question, you seem to not really disagree with liberalism if we're talking about definitions. What would you actually refer to someone who agrees with the definition of liberalism if not a liberal?

Extremists will always be extremists and be closer to each other than their respective moderates, see: the horseshoe theory. /pol/ and SJWs are both extremists who get triggered over nothing, inject politics where it doesn't belong, go absolutely nuclear over social and political issues that don't even exist and want to censor absolutely anything that doesn't align with their ridiculous mindsets complete with an "us or them" mentality.

Veeky Forums used to have much stricter moderation. A few years ago there were wordfilters that would get you instabanned. We just need a few of those in place and have a couple janitors who help get rid of spammed imaged like the Corvette/GTR lap times, Alfa Romeo, and a couple others. Tripcodes were originally meant for temporary use while you were telling a story or answering questions because you knew about a specific topic or question. They were never meant to be the equivalent of forum profiles; some boards had posters trying to use avatars and tripcodes to create identities. Since tripcodes no longer serve their purpose, just get rid of them. Report the shit out of obvious troll threads and shitposts to make sure they get deleted if the janitors can't submit them all. Even this thread got turned into a political discussion with a single shitpost. Just permaban these users without warning and shitposting will drop off pretty quickly. The only reason to use words like "liberal" on boards like Veeky Forums should be in reference to greasing parts. Outside of that, political discussions should be bannable. There's an entire board dedicated just to political shitposting created because of board spillover, yet here we are a few years later with a worse problem than we had before.

assmad gm fangirl spotted

because its all projection
I doubt tall people give a shit about the hight of others

Car communities and the people drawn to them are inherent faggots. Most people view their vehicle as an extension of themselves and project their insecurities on others. Shitposting and talking about your ass about cars isn't an Veeky Forums problem, it's a problem with the hobby.

>republicans
>libertarian
what part of socially conservative do you not understand

jesus christ you sound like you need friends. go to car meets if you want to meet people into cars, go to tournaments if you want to meet people into video games, there's so much that you can do that there's really no excuses. you just need to find out that people aren't as bad as you think they are

Heres my theory:
>this car is bad
>get this instead
>not saving up for a modern electric self-driving shitbox

All these statements are rhetorical bullshit designed to make you shy away from all those 90s nip legends that most people on this board really really want. What if people did this to shift people's opinions so that all the good cars (old ones) are saved for the ones preaching thier own lies? Maybe then other people got brainwashed and started repeating shit

Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact.

That only works for /b/ tho. Everything here is completely true!!

The day the shit posting dies is the day Veeky Forums dies.
That's what we're here for, that's why it has traffic.
There are a gorillian other auto forums out there with strict community guidelines.
The people who frequent Veeky Forums don't fit in there.
No matter how much you may think Veeky Forums envies civil discussion and a twitchy ban hammer you're wrong.
If you think you're too grown up for Veeky Forums, which is something only a childish faggot would think, then leave.

Fun Fact: The Republican party in the US is a fucking shit show because it's not one ideology making up its voting base. The Republican party is just the opposition party.
Anyone who isn't for the hard left wing agenda is forced to vote republican.
The reason that Libertarians are often considered allies of the Conservative ideology is because Libertarians weigh their values heavy in favor of a Fiscal Conservative party when it comes down to it.

Think about living in an authoritarian state.
Would you choose an Authoritarian right state? Or an Authoritarian left state.
Choosing the right is a no brainier for a libertarian.
