I know someone else responded to this BS, but cmon man. If you can pull this out of your ass then you are old enough to remember 60 minutes being sued, loosing and NBC almosting going bankrupt becuase of it. 60 minutes planted expolsives in the gas tanks ( saddle tanks) and ignited them after t-boning the truck with a small car. All GM asked for was for a PUBLIC APPOLOGY. No cash, just an apology.

This spurred on the 20 years of US auto bashing by the mainstreem media. Think that has had an effect on the big 3's public perception? You bet your ass it did. Toyota's days are numbered, the US media has been cleared to air all. Dont believe me? Google " Toyota is in trouble".

You my freind are a complete fucking moron. Who is paying you to post here?

Almost 40K post and you dont know anything about the sexual harrasment lawsuit against Toyota? Guess you arent really a diehard? Would you like a link?

Yea, I joined this site a couple of years ago and just now started posting. I chased a bunch of complete morons out of one site, they wound up here. With the current events regarding Toyota, I am looking for them. They polluted TCC with their paid for opinions, denied it that they were tainted, then left without a wimper for this site.

i have no patience for sellouts. Better have your facts straight before calling me out on the carpet.

Whoa, there, junior.

There are some things we don't take well to on this site. Insisting you have some kind of proof that will back up a controversial opinion, and then not providing it is one. Screaming like a five year old, at least with a tiny itty bitty post count and no credibility, is another one. Accusing members of improprieties without solid proof is yet another.

Ya know what would happen if you could somehow convince us that r0tor is paid? We'd shrug, make fun of him whenever he posts something car-related, and move on. Ya know what will happen if you don't chill the fuck out? We'll tire of your BS and either ban you or ignore you, or, of course, ignore you and then ban you.

My advice? GTFO before the rest of the forum sees that you're accusing members of being paid to post, or start backing your bullshit up.

I was surprised that it was actually fun.  The clutch is a little on the light side, but it engages in the same place as my SVTF.  The tranny is slick.  I was really impressed with it.  I've given some thought to replacing the SVT with one of these and get an aftermarket suspension for it.  Steeda offers a handling pack for it which includes springs, shocks and struts, rear sway bar, and strut tower brace for $699 and it also lowers the car by 1.5".  Steeda makes kickass Mustang suspension pieces, so I trust their Fusion stuff would be good too.

Had to think about this one for a minute, whether I should have flogged you with long-distance noodles,
or not.

But after about 59seconds of ponderation, your post is approved by the official I miss my SHO/ the new SHO is not a real SHO Committee.

Is this site dedicated to spelling correctly or automobile opinions? Facts are facts, spelling be damned dude. Go join spelling anonymous.

It's sort of a joint car/spelling forum, really.

Correct, I'm not very literate, but the truth is the truth, spelling be damned. You know it as well as I do. I don't care how many post this guy has made on this site, he is posting biased opinions. It makes me wonder who he is working for, assuredly a Japanese auto manufacture. His post regarding GM saddle back gas tanks blowing up proves this guy is reaching to prove a point. Anyone that is over 35 years old and has been following the US automobile industry knows what happened with this FALSE supposed independent testing of a perceived engineering problem with GM trucks. Do your own research, prove me wrong.

The last site I frequented had several people that continually bashed US products and after numerous prods admitted to working for foreign manufactures. None are posting now.

I am not being paid for my opinions and am free to call out all manufactures for inferior designs and engineering. The big 3 deserve the criticism in the 80's and early to mid 90's, but Japan and Europe have been given a free pass for the last 15 years. Like I said 2 years ago on TCC, their time is up and the media now has a free pass to tear them apart. I will not go away or back down from what I am posting, just ask the posers that migrated to here from TCC. Be prepared to eat your words before calling me out, some of you know exactly what I am talking about.

Yeah, that's because they build better vehicles...

Usually, I welcome new members with a "Hello! Welcome to the boards!"

But all you get is a "fuck off, dick head"  ;)

He's still here, but is quite scarce.  I think he knows that some of us have figured him out.  I've been in Seattle twice in the last 6 months and he was busy the first time, but this time he said he wouldn't meet me because I threatened him with violence...even if it was in jest.  He knows that I know he isn't who he says he is.
