Considering the experiences I've had AND the majority of the posts I've read on Vortex, it's a generalization that I'll make without qualms. Are there exceptions? Certainly. The Motorsports forum has a fair number of actual racers who relate real world experiences. Aside from that, the other forums are mainly populated with folks who are "grasping at straws" whether it be b/c they're young punks who happen to own a VW AND have Daddy's credit card number or they're so enthralled with VW that absolutely no other cars exist. There's the infamous 80/20 rule - in the case of Vortex, the 80th percentile remains quiet (probably b/c they're laughing their asses off) and allows the 20 percent to look like idiots.
