Another case of losing interest in the hobby?
- Thread starter 10sec

One could argue that since it has been for sale for two years that it is priced too high on purpose because you don't really want to sell it. :shrug:
I am done trying to have the quickest thing on the road. I am all about maximizing the amount of time enjoying the car. With our weather that is a short amount of time as it is. Spending all the time and money that we put into these cars to have it sit in a garage isn't worth it to me. At least for a toy. Having cars sit as an "investment" is a different story altogether.
I just love it get in and drive. The less work I have to do to it the better. AS it just cuts into driving time. It's almost therapeutic for me to be able to jump in and drive aimlessly. Then throw in a little shenanigans and I'm a happy person. My priorities have changed with my cars, but the enjoyment never has. Then there is the social aspect of the car hobby that is important to e as well.
NO!
I think that car is priced fairly well. If I was in the market for a C6, that would be hard to pass up.One could argue that since it has been for sale for two years that it is priced too high on purpose because you don't really want to sell it. :shrug:
You need to post some pics of your investment cars!
Are you talking ex gf's here or the comradery? The car groups on Facefuck are total shit. Biker groups even worse. HD guys are complete dildos so caught up in whos a real biker and whos a poser...its hilarious. The 11+ Mustang groups is mostly S197 guys still mad they cant afford the newer S550. "Mah tail lights are the best"...."Da s550 is a Fuzion"...lol
If the Vette was priced right it would have sold. If ANY car is for sale for 2 years and doesn't sell, it is priced higher than anyone is willing to pay at that time. I'm not saying the car isn't a great car. Just saying there is a reason it hasn't sold. That is the price. If he wants to get top dollar and can afford to wait for the right buyer, then that is fine. I think he really doesn't want to sell it. "Honey, it is for sale. I swear." hahahaha
I only end up on FB when I get tagged in something. It is pretty trash nowadays. The car groups and just ridiculous. I have never been a fan of them and they have just gotten worse. I bet most groups are the same way. Most of the people I talk to and hang out with are by car buddies. Just about the only thing left that will get people out to do things. Otherwise, work and family sucks all their time up.
Forums are so much better especially for the tech! I wouldn't even ask a tech question on Facefuck on 99% of groups. Most will just reply "part out"
Just went and looked at his price and man, is it really that high for the market? Car has very low miles and tasteful mods. Are C6 prices in the shitter that bad?
I've seen a lot of other cars on here for sale that the pricing made me lol. One was a GTO and the other that rebuilt title G8 GXP.
The FB groups suck as besides the stupid comments you have no organization or way to search for things easily. Structure > ADD culture.
I have zero clue about the C6 market & prices. Just saying that a car for sale for two years isn't selling for a reason. I don't think in this case it is the mileage, mods done, condition, or anything like that. The car look pretty sweet to me from what I remember.
And ya, you can always find cars that the owner WAY overvalue their cars. Those are always good for a laugh. Craigslist gonna Craigslist. haha

I have said on TCG a few times that the C6Z is probably one of the best "values" right now.
My interest in taking my car to the track has severely diminished. I don't know I ever will..at least not in the near future. Plus I feel like I'd end up breaking something expensive. We just spent a lot of money on a patio and we have another kid on the way. I'm fine with just enjoying the power I have on the road. At most, maybe some suspension stuff to help me get some more traction down low on the streets.
10sec...I think it's part of getting older. I'd get rid of my GTP, but won't get anything for it. I've only driven it in the last 2 years to take it for emissions. 
I started losing interest some 5ish years ago once I passed 40.
Anyway, I may have an 05 Saab 9-3 2.0T Aero with 144K for sale in a few weeks. It will come with a set of snow tires.

If you call someone out for asking a question that could have been answered in seconds by Google, then you get attacked with responses like "bro he's new to the hobby we need to help all car enthusiasts!"
Facebook sucks. I miss when forums had more traffic. The content and discussion in Facebook groups is garbage.
I've definitely lost quite a bit of interest in both cars and detailing cars.
Life happens, people get busy and focus on other things.
Part of the reason I lose interest in the car scene is because of other's that ruin it in a way.
Another is, well, it gets expensive to participate in the hobby. RAcetracks are purposely making it so expensive and so are car part manufacturers.

The feedback I always hear about forums is that they are too difficult to use. Young people are too dumb to figure out how to upload and embed pics or videos to a forum. Facebook makes it easy for people to post a picture of their car to see how much attention they can get. It's all about attention and validation, rather than having meaningful discussion. I've learned tons from reading forums over the years. I can't say I've had that same experience on Facebook.
Update, I bought something. The ENTIRE feeling of being MEH about buying something completely disappeared when I bought the car I have, and drove it home. I have worked MAYBE 2 Sundays in my 12yr career where I'm at, and ironically have to work tomorrow. I can say with more enthusiasm than I ever have...…. ever, I am excited to drive to work tomorrow! I normally will ride my bike, but F that, I gotta have some more seat time.
