please, enlighten us. i would love to be able to hand that information to the next kid who does this, and creams somebody and gets sued or lands in jail.
There are some topics that I personally hold as taboo and I know I'm not alone. It's the way I was raised. Talking about my money to impress while saying others don't have a pot to piss in flies in the face of proper manners as I understand them. This is my last interaction with you I hope as I feel dirty just reading your posts ripping on the community here. We can discuss costs of specific items and labor rates all day long but you've crossed a line from any hope of salvaging or earning respect.

Also taboo is "tooting your own horn." This is why I won't stand toe to toe to measure shafts with you. It's poor form of you to even ask. You're probably set in your ways and shrugging this insight off as my problem. I assure you, I don't encounter many folks so crass and obtuse. There are other venerable members here comfortable in their own skin and filth of mind. I don't think those few of you however vocal represent the community at large. I've seen plenty of good, helpful and encouraging people here including our host of which you are not.

I hope you find peace behind the wheel of your $150k 968 if not for how it drives but in knowing and taking comfort in the fact that you've spent more than anyone else... if that's what makes you feel whole and superior to others. What a sad and shallow existence if that's how you're left to measure yourself in the back slope of life.
