I may be off base, because I also found the Mustang and C5 Corvette to be a bit soft.  And I've also never found a suspension too stiff that I felt uncomfortable (though I have found plenty that were too soft/floaty and made me a bit sick).

Can you teach me how to be a man?

Depending on price, that could be a good deal.

Get a 1990 Civic hatchback. Call Ground Control and order coilovers with 450 lb/in front, and 550 lb/in rear spring rates. Schedule a kidney transplant.

What?  I don't remember that.  If anything I thought it was a bit soft. 

I found the GTO suspension a bit soft for me as well.  If anything, the 350Z and G35 suspension was a bit on the rough side.

It's can't be taught, sister.

I'm very tolerant of suspension firmness and prefer a firmer suspension.  On the other hand, I drink diet soda.

You drink diet pop?

Sugar is fine if it's cane sugar, I don't like the high fructose corn syrup crap they use.

After you wake up with the sun at 6am on someone's floor, coughing up cigarette butts and tasting like warm beer, you may well change your opinion on this matter.

Cane sugar Coke is all over the place. I bet you can find it in a lot of Mexican joints in your area. In Colorado you can even find it in certain gas stations/convenience stores.

Mexican joints don't really exist out here.  Good Cuban restaurants though.

Drinking regular Coke after having cane sugar Coke is disgusting.

Disgusting? That's a strong word.

I've taken a sip of a beer can full of chew spit once. I've drank a gulp out of a water bottle filled with vodka at 8:00 in the morning.

Both of those were disgusting drinks.

Coke tastes strange to me without Jack Daniels or some sort of rum in it. It's like I taste the alcohol even when there isn't any.

Oh no, it's not disgusting, I'm just saying I can't drink it right after drinking Mexican Coke.

I'm intrigued to know how your high fructose corn syrup concoction tastes in comparison to my delicious cane sugar Coke.
