Alex, you have yet to answer the underlying question and alternatively, you choose to assualt my character when I have not made any personal attacks towards you. Your logic is flawed and your CONTINUED excuses for your aesthetic imitation upgrade are becoming overly redundant. What you are upset about is that you bit off more than you could chew with your initial "did someone say big red" comment. I'll say it again, your brakes look good, however you comment was LAME.

.....i have a military perspective of this issue.....when somebody lobs an artillery shell in your direction, the conditioned response is to lob double the number back at him, perhaps with a little better aim in the hope that it will settle the issue.......however, if you've got an unlimited amount of ammo, it's hard to stop.....you can't win and you can't quit the game......the secret is not to lob the first shell......FWIW

Actually the secret is to get the first shell(s) off without the enemy knowing where or who it came from

Agro 1 - I had asked you to keep our issues off this site. There is no reason to continue to disrespect the Rennlist forum with this ongoing tirade. You have a PM from me -man-up and answer it. As I mentioned earlier, respond via personal channels. We can keep this between us and no one else. This is really becoming an embarrassment and truly unprofessional.

You may have to resend it - I just deleted one without reading it - as I thought it might have been from someone else.

If so - sorry about that!

No Alex, John was most likely referring to MY PM. Thanks John, I'll resend it.

JSQ - You rock and I'm releived to see there is someone out there that shares my same views/opinions. Not only are you responses extremely well written, but they also pose some very valid questions as to the "MO" around here. I applaud (and envy) your ability to make such strong, well thought out arguments and I urge you to become a member to enlighten the current members and enrich the conversation.

Alex - you've got MAIL

I'm speechless by what this thread has become.

Can someone Photoshop this onto my car?
