You may not know it but I don't write in cryptic messages that require real deep interpretation. Most of the time, I'm pretty straightforward so when someone doesn't understand what I wrote, I start to question the intellect of other people.
What would you think if you saw a screen name of 9 second Road Runner coupled with a picture of their race car?
Me? I think of a guy that owns a fast race car and likely knows a LOT about making a car run fast and hard.
Look at the majority of other screen names and pictures of members. YOU are obviously operating at a higher level of engine performance than the average member here.
How can this be hard to understand?
To further explain....
We have two very different perspectives at play here....
1) The hard core gear heads (Including you) that have far more experience dealing with engines far removed from stock levels of performance.
2) The other guys (including me) that do dabble in the higher performance stuff but don't live and breath it at the same level as guys like you.
It appears to me that the #1 crowd gets along with Dave because they are of the same mindset whereas the #2 crowd annoys Dave sometimes and he isn't courteous enough to tolerate those that aren't as experienced.
It really is as simple as that.
