There's a lot of reposting of pics already existing in threads. So, aside from drooling at cars most of us don't have the paygrade to own...isn't this thread sorta...redundant with the various threads already out there for the models being posted about...?

Just asking for your thoughts...

Yeah, thats because the donkeys f*cked this sh*t up. An "appreciation" thread serves its purpose for a SINGLE make. If you have one for European cars, in general, well that's kind of pointless. It's not much different than the Car Photo of the day thread, for all general intents and purposes. You're right, it is redundant.

^^it is redundant to an extent...i'd like to simply have one place to post my pics. i've been separating them best i can between 'car photo of the day' and this thread. if it was european i post here, otherwise - 'photo of the day' thread. it def got all f'ed up the other day when all the diff threads were created.

Anyhow, if I were you, I'd check out the 3 threads I posted earlier and you can post in them accordingly, john.

I'll observe how this thread plays out for a bit more but otherwise, I think I will lean towards punting it.

I created the Ferrari (then, Lambo and Porsche) threads not just for pictures. It was discussion, too. When the latter two got merged into the retard strong ones, it got all messed up. Punt this one if you wish, but keep the Ferrari thread as-is please. That one went off as intended.

I think the Auto News section should be used for...well, news.

Yeah this thread is pretty useless anymore I believe. The multiple appreciation threads would have been good just for exotic manufactures. There you could post pics and discuss the cars. The car photo of the day thread is pretty much just past pictures and drool over them.
