the difference is that the person we're talking about is in this
forum. the difference is that the picture is unique, the difference
is that the community of cars.sgforums gives its users the ability
to share his/her sightings whether or not their in singapore. to me
(and i'm sure i'm not the only one) i like not only to see the
visual of the sighted car, but the story behind the sighting or
something close to that, seeing a car on a website is different
because u don't get any of that. i personally find it nice to know
that someone i have contact to has seen/owns a certain car.
sometimes its nice to ask that person questions about what the car
was like.
and you said, i quote "Arent we talking about cars here?", yes we
are but cars aren't just about how they look, maybe if the car was
sighted on the road or something, i'd like to ask how it sounded,
how fast it was, sometimes even specs or recordings can't protray
that in real life. also a picture shows a bit of the car, maybe
there are some parts of the car visually that the person who
spotted it could explain.
like everyone says, seeing a car in real life and in a picture are
totally different.
