ThatCleanPregen Posted July 14, 2016 Author Report Posted July 14, 2016 Hey I'm not sure how to post pics yet, I was on grandprixforums for awhile when I had my 99 GP gt. Quote
Imp558 Posted July 15, 2016 Report Posted July 15, 2016 If you go towards the top of the site there's a button that says "More", that will expose "Garage", there are provisions there to post pics in your Garage and your first "Garage" picture will be on the main page of the forum until enough cars get posted to bump you off. Probably like a couple months. You can post pics in a thread by clicking "More Reply Options" next to the "Post" button. Quote
Psych0matt Posted July 15, 2016 Report Posted July 15, 2016 Also, I hate you for your screen name digitaloutsider and jake91 2 Quote
Imp558 Posted July 15, 2016 Report Posted July 15, 2016 Yeah, Jealousy, clean early W bodies are hard to find up north. Quote
Psych0matt Posted July 15, 2016 Report Posted July 15, 2016 Nah, the term "first gen" just irks me a lot jake91, digitaloutsider and Euro 3 Quote
Imp558 Posted July 15, 2016 Report Posted July 15, 2016 Ahh, I see. What's first gen supposed to imply? 1996 is first gen or is it 1.5? Quote
Psych0matt Posted July 15, 2016 Report Posted July 15, 2016 Wouldn't 3rd gens be first gen since they're not made anymore? Or 2nd since 3rds were last. I dunno, I feel like it originated from dislike for 1st gens, or at least a sense that the later generations were better Quote
Imp558 Posted July 15, 2016 Report Posted July 15, 2016 Oh, I always thought that term was the very early w's that were boxy. It's implication is of a car that's not current and considered lesser or obsolete. BTW I dusted a second gen the other day in my insignificant Regal. Quote
Nas Escobar Posted July 15, 2016 Report Posted July 15, 2016 Ahh, I see. What's first gen supposed to imply? 1996 is first gen or is it 1.5? Its a derogatory term for a 1st gen W body. Not sure of the origin but its basically calling 2nd gens the original W bodies. 1.5 isnt even a thing in the Monte Carlo world, they're 5th gen Monte Carlos. Luminas were forgotten Quote
88red4cyl Posted July 15, 2016 Report Posted July 15, 2016 Wouldn't first gen have originated during the 2nd gen days to stand for PREvious GENeration? Just a though I had... Quote
primergray Posted July 15, 2016 Report Posted July 15, 2016 Wouldn't 3rd gens be first gen since they're not made anymore? Or 2nd since 3rds were last. I dunno, I feel like it originated from dislike for 1st gens, or at least a sense that the later generations were better So then 3rd gens are Post Gen and 2nd gens are just Gen? Psych0matt 1 Quote
Imp558 Posted July 15, 2016 Report Posted July 15, 2016 Realistically the term should refer to whatever the generation before the car in immediate discussion is. This is getting confusing, I'm with Matt, that terminology is not cool any more on too many levels. Nas Escobar 1 Quote
cutlassdude96 Posted July 15, 2016 Report Posted July 15, 2016 I think first gen came from clubgp, They all had 2nd gen cars Psych0matt 1 Quote
Nas Escobar Posted July 15, 2016 Report Posted July 15, 2016 Well people call the LN3 3800 "pre series" so there's that. Considering that GM hasnt made a 2nd gen W body in 11 years the first gen thing is old and outdated. Not sure why that term stuck and why 3rd gens arent post gens Quote
movielover40 Posted July 15, 2016 Report Posted July 15, 2016 Welcome aboard. Post some pictures!! Quote
Euro Posted July 18, 2016 Report Posted July 18, 2016 Ugh. first gen. Stemmed from ClubGP, and beaten to death from GPF. Welcome! Quote
digitaloutsider Posted July 19, 2016 Report Posted July 19, 2016 first gen is some stupid ClubGP bullshit that never made any fucking sense. It's a 1G, 2G, or 3G. Not really complicated. rich_e777 and Nas Escobar 2 Quote
Imp558 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Posted July 21, 2016 Hmmm, hasn't posted again. I hope we didn't chase him off, it wasn't his fault he picked up a bad habit on another forum. Psych0matt 1 Quote
primergray Posted July 21, 2016 Report Posted July 21, 2016 Yeah, still want to see pics. Psych0matt 1 Quote
