No, you said it was SHIT, asshat. There's a fucking difference. That's like saying to all the people who like it, "So, you like SHIT, do you?

Get a clue, retard. If you're going to be insulting, be prepared to be insulted BACK. Fucker.

No, I said it LOOKS LIKE 80's SHIT, meaning, I think a lot of cars from the 80's look like shit. If someone feels my general opinion on 80's automotive design is personally insulting, then they need to grow up. I don't like edge/box styling. It doesn't work for me. I think it looks like shit.



Listen Chris, your post was extremely insulting, moreso than my own opinion that was directed at thin air. Just because I don't like a car's styling shouldn't make anyone else feel bad about liking it. That's just petty. So too is your post. It was just incredibly unneccessary.

For someone that's calling me "immature," you seem to have no problem falling back on juvenal namecalling. Bravo.
As I write, highly civilized human beings are flying overhead, trying to kill me.

Depending on price, that could be a good deal.

You spelled juvenile wrong. :nono:

I'm just trying to return what you were dishing out, to prove that being insulting makes people angry. you got angry for being insulted, but expect to be able to insult whatever YOU wants without comment. That's hypocritical at best.

Maybe if I'm mean enough (look under my name <-----) you'll get the idea that you can voice a dissenting opinion effectively without the use of insulting, inflammatory language. And that you (or anyone) can prefer a different car without trying to prove that they are narrowminded pricks.

Chris, I insulted an INANIMATE OBJECT. My post was directed at NO ONE. You called me a "fucker" and a "retard." Can you understand why it would upset a person to be insulted more than a fucking car?

Styling is perhaps THE most subjective aspect of auto enthusiasm. People on this forum use words like "shit" to describe WHAT THEY THINK OF A CAR all the time. It doesn't bother anyone, apparently, but you. Do I get mad when Raza complains that new BMW's look like ass, even though I really like them? Hell no. That would be pointless. Styling is subjective, therefore people are going to interpret designs differently. Sometimes that interpretation will be extreme and call for harsh criticism, sometimes it will be more mild.

Live and let live man.

Just to clarify, I think that almost every high performance exotic/import from this period is wanting (as well as most of the domestics). I think the Ferraris of this time look horrible. I think Mercedes of this era look bad. I think the Audi's look nasty. The early Toyota Supra, IMO, looks god-awful. About the only sports-car from this time I like (style-wise), is the 911, and that design obviously came from much earlier. The C4 aint that pretty. Neither is the Fox Mustang.

If that makes me a "retard" and a "fucker" then so be it.
