OMG! #7 is SO true!

Ever go to the corvette board? They have like 10 lines of mods, EVEN list the FUTURE MODS like "asian tailights" , 10% windos tint, etc.. It's too funny!

Ok, you have compiled a pretty impressive list already, but how about Supra or RX7 (or other rice burners) owners who visit the site to simply create controversy and upheaval. The best response was from John B. and it's not verbatim but went something like "Why don't you waddle that rice burning pig back to teeny bop town ........" A few times I've responded with "who cares" because in reality, who cares! That seems to really lite 'em off.

Here's one to go with the incendiary posts:

Responding to them! Don't you know these "guests" just like to light the fuse and then come back to find some inane post is always at the top with their "handle" starting it all.

They are looking for attention and the best response is none at all.

#5 People who don't proofread - if your're not retarded you have no excuse. Learn about the english language - its not that hard.

#6 People who spend the time and effort to post pictures, but won't/can't go the extra 1% to run them through a few hue/brightness/contrast filters so that people can actually SEE them.

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

#5 - Dont' you mean "it's" - a contraction for: it is? Normally, an apostrophe before the "s" indicates a possessive, but not in this case. (Sorry to get chicken-s**t Jim, but I just couldn't resist.)

#6 - My 8 year old, 21" 1280x1024 monitor isn't as bright as it once was. Please forgive me.

BigJim,

Shouldn't "english" be capitalized in your post too? It's a proper noun, so I think it should be. Then again, I'm no English teacher!

Just teasing ya!
