Too funny! I've started this and participated in this same thread in several other forums. What I've seen is pretty interesting. In the Mercedes crowd, it was very active but forum members would routinely post googled images causing flame wars, name calling and heavy moderation, especially with the W201 crowd, not as much with the W171 members. Eventually the thread has to get closed for a while to let the kids settle down. The VAG community is different, total discipline with following rules and pretty interesting challenges. The Audi A3 thread is years old and a few hundred pages.
New to this community this is kind of what I expected to happen, since there wasn't an active thread. The Porsche community seems to have a pictures? Who cares, let's just drive it while it's nice out attitude...

It's almost kind of indicative of what the stereotypical driver is like in each group: MB, look at mine, it's got more kit than yours, only it's not mine but it's looks just like mine... VAG: hey, I just took 1000 pictures of my car on bags with a new lip of corse I have pictures to show! Porsche: who has time for silly picture games when there weekend track days??? I'll just drive it thanks.

Anyway, yes it's DEad, lol.

The only real rules here are I can't talk about cats.

Other than that, meh.......it's cool.
