I'm going to nominate the "Referring to a car as a toy" thread for this week. It's so cringeworthy I can't bring myself to post on it anymore. Someone's just proudly posted a picture of their Mini with TOY plate. It's like trying to justify thick gold neckchains and all-in-one tracksuits. Depressing.

Yep:

"Boarding first as a club passenger and then having a hundred or so cattle class clambering over you to get to the rear of the plane is tedious."
Have we had the "Is Business Class worth it?" thread nominated. I'd imagine so - it really was the most horrific expense account populated bragging match.

I can't bring myself to find it.

I don't see it quite the same as you. If you fly business class regularly and want to discuss it with other people who do - how can you do it without sounding cringeworthy to others who don't?

Every single one of kapiteinlangzaam's god awful posts on this thread:

http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

Somebody is, in his view, wrong on the internet. A new person has posted two threads about his car, and sweet jesus, what's this? One of those threads has been posted in an incorrect sub forum.

Total idiot, and the epitomisation of all that's wrong with car forums.
There's some right wkers on that thread! rolleyes , ruined the OP's thread, I knew the thread was going to go like that after the tttish second post.

What's good about that one is the one fella who's stuck his neck out is, most likely, a fairly Alpha'ery type guy. He's taken (or at least, up to where I read) all the stick in remarkably good humour.

It's the squabbling that made me cringe. Loads of nerds nit picking at the one person who's willingly put himself out there for ridicule, inadvertently confirming his initial claim.

Stupid boys.

First responses to new threads are often negative. I think it's a destructive few who bank on most threads failing to get very far so they can feel right about their derogatory comments.

This website used to be for car enthusiasts. It isn't any more. frown

I love the post where someone asks the OP if his car is a soft-top and he replies "Yes, Volante..."

Not the most. But it was pretty bad. "I have a nice car and I am offended that I get nasty comments and previously I only had nice comments and I feel a bit sad."

I don't really see why that is cringeworthy. If he had sauntered into general gassing and posted that thread then it would come across as a bit pompous but the guy specifically posted it in the Aston Martin section, presumably the section where owners of Aston Martins gather. This is primarily a car forum, you know...

Well, as far as could be given the circumstances.

I realise that reads fairly sycophantically given, this being written, you can't appreciate how little I actually care about the subject.

You and I differ. Yes, the marque's forum, fair enough, appreciation. Ofc I get it. The whining that the nasty man said a bad thing - for me, cringe.

Considering we have entered in to a conversation discussing our difference of opinion then I would have said that this was a given.
