Exactly.
The poor Duster sitting in that wrecking yard was clearly being driven, or at the very least being upgraded so that it could be. And then it got wrecked, and somehow ended up in a yard stacked on another car. The damage looks relatively minor, but the insurance was probably for a driver and it was totaled out because as a 73+ car it just isn't worth much.
@MRGTX goes out and does a great thing, he posts it here so maybe somebody can save it, or at least try to get some of the remaining good parts off of it because the forklift operator likely buggered the thing for good.
And what happens? A bunch of people bash the
wheels that are on it because their sense of taste and understanding of technology is stuck in the past? That car could easily belong to a member. Heck the previous owner of that car probably put more miles on it recently than some of the members bashing the car. What if that IS a members car? Some young gun getting started? And this is how people react? You think that helps anybody?
Sorry, but the reaction to this thread has been absolutely pathetic.
I'm rude? You're threatening me with physical violence. How's that for rude?!
Go back and read what I wrote. It was far less rude that what diymirage and princessvaliant said originally. Maybe more personal in diymirage's case, but you know what? That guy has been insulting me for years. And when he asked me for help I helped him! I went out of my way to make sure he was able to get his car set up the way he wanted it. And then he's going to keep saying stuff like that? Yeah, I called him out. And sorry, but if you think "conversations" are private you're mistaken. It's the internet. And it's not like he confided some private, personal secret. He used me for my advice and then turns around and insults people that don't share his exact personal taste. Well that's me.
What I said to Rani wasn't even out of line compared to her "abortion" comment. She changed it, and props to her for doing that. I didn't call her names, I gave some colorful examples that show why making a sweeping assumption like she did is wrong, because she doesn't fit the broad assumptions I made in my reply, just like not all cars with modern wheels match hers. I said her
statement was ignorant, and it was.
And Rob, just a reality check bud. You're far closer in your life to dislocating a hip because you stood up too fast than you are to winning a physical altercation.
What I wrote might have been an overreaction, but it was no more rude than what was posted originally (and has now been altered).
Want to talk about an overreaction? Rob is threatening physical violence. That's a bit more than "rude" now isn't it?
