Well, no.
This is to fully anoint my virility as a card-carrying member of the male gender. My balls have descended and I am ready for lift-off to manhood in T-minus what, 7,800 posts? 
Just 200 posts.

Didn't know a 4-cyl Chrysler could do that, did you?

You've certainly got some low standards. Ownage implies some form of discussion and proof of claims. He spewed off a one line troll (Points for density!) and I disagree. Ergo, Meh. It's not a discussion I feel like participating in in any real way, so that's all I've got for it.

Mostly I just like saying catchphrases in really eye-catching colors.

Getting worked up about your make of car is almost as useless as getting worked up about your operating system.
I drive a truck, and anyone who drives a car sucks. Now THAT'S hardware contention.

But I can make with the zippy-go, while you make with the heavy-tow. It's all about the right tool for the job. Owning both is an excellent way to always have your hammer and pound nails too. Or something like that. The analogy kind of starts to break down at that point.

You know, you sound like those Catfish fans that drop 8000 bucks into their 28k cars and get all pissy when my un-modded 23.5 K Mach1 kills em in the 1/4 mile, 0-60 and 0-100...
(for those that don't know Catfish's are 2000+ Camros. Why Catfish? Look at the front end... looks like a catfish... ugly, fat and slow...)
Having owned Chevy cars or trucks for all of my 20's I can say when I hit 30 and started buying Fords, it was one of the best decisions of my life, other than to stop buying Apple systems... |

Except that I'm not. For one thing I've never liked Camaros.
You need to understand someday that disagreeing with you is not the same as believing the opposite. You're position was extreme, and extreme positions are generally all hyperbole and wasted air. I'm more moderate in my opinion. I.e. not everything anyone makes sucks, but I'd never own a riceburner.
Oops. Let one slide.

Eh. I am confident that my first new vehicle will not be one produced by a North American manufacturer.
Of course, I want a hybrid.
