I was just over at streetcommodores.com.au reading through some posts (as all cars interest me)
and reading through some of the posts, there is some serious Ford bashing... Now not that the occassional joke, argument doesn't bother me, the single mention of Ford sends (quite a few of) these guys into a frenzy - much like a Paranah at the smell of blood... Weather they be usless comments bagging out Ford, or trying soooo hard to justify and stretch the real facts of why a Holden (in their eyes) is better then Ford... it just seems rediculous. I might have a biased view, but are we that bad when it comes to talking about Holden cars on this forum? I was shocked to even read such a response in the "General Automotive" section in regards to a discussion about a Ford, where on member replied: Quote:
glad I won't be part of that crowd... I seriously hope Orion puts them back in their place....  :

Settle children, why would you bother posting crap?
The only comments I dont like are "go scratch a XC Cobra" and "XC Cobra's are ugly". Both these posters need their eyes ripped out...LOL

I never really wanted to ever own a Ford or a Holden because of all the rivalry crap... oh well.
I appreciate many different types of cars Ford, Holden, Japanese, Euros I don't understand what is wrong with having variety but there seem to be so many narrow minded people on this and other forums, maybe they are just keyboard warriors. |

Can't see the Commodore forum to be any worse than here.
Both vomit out similar car bashing. Double standards in the highest order really. Cars are meant to be enjoyed and each to their own really. |

free email addresses are most likely banned there, so your email address probably isn't banned, your *providers* would be though
as for the forum itself, I worked for them once and don't have anything good to say about the staff, or the company as a whole.

I just finsihed reading that thread. There was like a couple of comments about how bad ford is, but mostly it was all about the good score. I sometimes think that people read way too much into something. Nothing bad in that thread

You see that's where the Holden man and the Ford man are quite different.
I've had 7 or 8 Falcons (and nothing else) in my 25 years of driving and honestly could have gone the other way on more than one occasion. As I see it Commodores and Falcons as very simialr cars on many levels targeting and attracting similar markets. For that reason most of us Ford guys would never bag Holden. We just love cars full stop and don't let it become personal. Us Ford guys are more mature and probably love cars more than we love the brand. I'd always applaud a nice Commodore at the lights next to me or congratulate a Holden owner at a servo on his nice ride...However I can't ever see a Holden owner doing that to a Falcon owner in reverse situations. Seeme they have a point to prove and a nasty chip on the shoulder

Seems like there's a whole bunch of similarly one eyed people who post on this forum, though it has been a few days since the last Commodore driver did something stupid thread.
