Didn't you have to turn in the taser gun when you retired?

 

Yeah, same here. Our exchanges caused me to lose interest in the forum. I made some statements that were fairly obvious when he was looking to purchase a Crossfire (ie; a LTD. will never be an SRT-6, why don't you investigate that rabbit hole thoroughly). Ultimately, what he ended up with was a pristine, personalized look LTD that couldn't keep up with me on a freeway onramp. In either of my 6's. A small number of lemmings chimed in with him criticizing Pilot Sports, which are great tires and small change for me. Then they criticized my profession-education (and that of my late wife, who succumbed to cancer a year later at 42. She loved the 6's more than me.) I'm not going to name drop anymore. You know who you are. Since that incident a couple of years ago, I still have my low mileage 6's. They are still pleasure drivers and garage queens. I just lost my respect for a few people on here and my desire to post much. What's always kept me stoked is the far greater amount of good people on this board who really want to help out and love their cars. Even without mods.

Mike, the nice thing about loving cars is meeting the people. You won't make friends with them all nor would you want to. But you will make a few great friends and some casual friends, and you just have the rest that happen to be there...post away my friend...no need to be a stranger...these cars are fun and we need to keep the word out there just how great they are...

 

I never turn in my guns...nor will I ever really not be a cop...it will always be with me...like it or not...just like this thread my friend, like it or not, I'm here and not going anywhere regardless of those who think differently.

 

I have been monitoring this thread from the beginning and I know what is being said and agree with most of it. But saying that, I decided to research those that seem to be disruptive, so using the available info, looked up the posts and threads from the disruptors. I think that they just don't have a life, this is their entertainment, their intent is not to promote the car and help add pertinent info, it's to throw barbs and become the center of attention. I know whom to ignore and will just skim past their posts in the future.

 

I had no idea this thread would stay alive this long. It's nice to know most people here are like-minded. In a utopian environment, everyone would play nice, poke softly and have thick skin.

It seems that things have gotten a little more civil lately. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind the good-natured ribbing that goes on. OleDoc2U can testify just how bad cops can be at lambasting fellow LEOs and I am certainly no exception. It was the "nanny nanny booboo" stuff that was sticking in my craw. Middle school behavior at best. But the "primary aggressor" is gone and life is good.

Maybe we need to pass Domestic Violence laws for forums! Meh, maybe not.

Borderline stalking

 

I am down with the flu and have to be on duty by 7 am and you just gave me my 1st smile of the day... Not sure what codes you use down there...but a 10-15 on here is pretty mild considering...

 

ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz ..... well you know, for every person driven away that deserves it, several that don't suffer the same fate. Spelling, search function and topic deviator enforcers need a little less fanaticism, IMO. I'm still reeling over the loss of racers. Yes, you can argue that the thin skinned should get thick quick but not all new Crossfire owners are forum astute. A few breaks should be given. So there it is, put gently from my point of view. Myself? I use the search function so much that I don't need to post. Who really does?

I was only talking about the info available here, on this forum, it's easy enough to figure out who the real car guys are.

 

Is this a forum or an on-line dictionary?

 

Please define the "real car guy" Crossfire owner?

 

That's what this thread is about now isn't it? What it's becoming and why.

Les

 

Is this boring thread still on? I remember 180 pulling me down when I asked stuff I did not try to search for before asking on the forum, and thereby taking up "space". Now this however should just be erased. Plus, I started similar thread earlier, just for the forum moderators to see, so it is a duplicate thread, attack was spelled "attach" and it only spread negative vibes. Delete it.

 

As my old drill sgt once looked at me many many years ago......and said, "*****!"....Most of what goes on here is all good. Other forums are down right mean...If a quick question can be answered someone usually answers it. IF it is a repeated question that was answered a few days earlier, then I would say that person is in panick mode and needs his question answered even though the topic was just discussed a few days earlier. In most cases someone usually sends a link to that thread so they can read it. Rudy was jocking with me one day and said he should charge me for all the online help he sends my way. I know how he feels, but to explain "car guys", that doesn't happen. They are willing and able to help.If you don't want to talk to me, and like what I say, use the ignore feature. You don't want or need my advise or help, so just ignore me and move on. If you don't then you WANT to pursue it further and I am here to oblige. Now there are questions that come that are going to lead to another beat me down discussion. Like when someone comes on out of the blue, and says, how can I add a turbo to my NA? We have all beat that one to death...so we usually tell them to use the search feature and read for days....is that all that bad? I don't know. I help when I can and leave it at that...

 

Hope you get better soon Doc, glad you can still post as I enjoy reading them. The city supplied us with the majic shot for this so maybe I won't get it.
