I have a 2013 GS C6 and also an X5 BMW -- so does that mean I have a CX30?

I'm not quite sure who would spend a bunch of time on a forum without having some vested interest, i.e. ownership. I join forums just prior to purchasing, so I guess in retrospect, some may not be owners, however I'm sure they'll have one in their garage in the not so distant future.

I do the same. Before I consider buying a car that is new to me, I spend a lot of time on forums. Not only do I learn about the car, and what issues to watch for or expect, but I also learn about the community of owners - are they enthusiasts? do they help each other by sharing their knowledge and experience? This is really important to me.

I joined the Corvette forum more than a year before I bought my C6 Z06. I actually wanted a C7, but once one of them finally sat in a showroom long enough for me to get there to try it on, I found that I could not get enough head or legroom for my height. (The C6 fits fine)

I traded my C6 in on my current C7.
Before I purchased my used C6, I read a lot about it on this forum.

I had 200% ownership of C6, now only 100%, but now have 63% ownership of a C7 plus the 100% of C6. How does that compute?

On a serious note I actually joined before owning my Corvette because I was looking for engine swap parts for my camaro build. Every time I open my garage and see my Blue Camaro and CRM Corvette it puts a smile on my face and realize how fortunate I am.
I read a lot where people are bashing the car so much and my thought is "why do you even own the car" if they do??

Bank also owns mine ,but we are slowly working it out. I joined after I bought my first C6 and now have the 2013 427 2010 This number makes sense to the other 427 owners. LONG LIVE THE VALVE!

I own a 1963 Z06 and a 2004 Z06, but that doesn't mean a C7

I waited 6 months after I bought my C5 to join CF. Back then, it took that long to be "Vetted" by CF moderators. Now, anyone can join.

I'm curious. In your opinion, how does the 427 Vert compare to the Z06 in terms of handling, acceleration, comfort, ride, overall enjoyment, etc.?
