Agreed, its strictly an opinion and or some type of criticism. And as you said, you open yourself up to this when you post your car on a public viewed forum. If you dont like it, dont post. Case closed.

x2 my lovable gator. I have to partially agree with those who call it hating. It is kinda hate. I hate when dumb people do dumb things that force me to hate looking at their cars. Especially when the car is a capable chassis, that is being wasted, and or destroyed. Eventually they may grow out of it. I was once dumb, I had chrome 3 spoke wheels, and clear taillights, and it looked hideous when I look back today at it. I got over it, and so can anyone else. As long as we love and have passion for our cars, we will hate to see people do worthless, wasteful things to good cars. So like it or not the opinions we may express are powered by hate, but without it the converse of love is not possible. It would not be possible for me to love, Ryan's car, ICBMatt's, Chris's, Nick's, Or Top Setup's (my 5 fave CR-Xes right now) unless I didn't have equal and opposite feelings about other cars. Maybe I am just trying to over philosophize it.

Take this for example. I once dodged emails from a ricer girl that wanted to caravan with me to a Niagara Meet in their BW2 kitted CRX one year. Out of my love for the CR-X, and all of it's glory, I could not let such a disgusting misrepresentation of the car that close to mine, and accept it into my caravan. So the only option was to completely ignore the girl, and act like I never got the emails rather than tell her what I really thought about her car. I didn't have the heart to tell her, how I really felt like she was doing the work of the devil demolishing that poor car. I will say the body work was flawless, and I respect the time and effort that went into it. Sadly though I find it appalling to look at, and a complete waste of money and resources. Had the girl not destroyed that poor CR-X, I would of been happy to accept her and her car in our caravan.

So that being said, I encourage you all to hate anything you don't like. It may encourage the hated to change their ways, and do something worthwhile to their car rather than make it look like a rolling circus attraction. Hopefully it will change them before it is too late, and they cause permanent damage to the car.

That's my thoughts on it.

I am glad to know you well enough to know, that there is no way in hell you would do such a thing.

I must say I was kinda let down by some of the stuff I saw at Eibach. Hopefully Import Alliance isn't like that...

Great news for the both of us. Parts sales have slowed dramatically as of late. I need to sell a couple hundred dollars more worth of parts to finish financing the swap.

Life! Haha. I still can't figure out why when I hit a turn signal in my CRX the hazards come on. I must have hooked something up wrong under the dash. It's really the only thing keeping me from cruising it around now that the weather is getting better.

Uggghhh, bought a road bike on Sunday. First road bike I've owned in a decade. Haven't ridden since Sunday 'cause my *** is still sore (insert gay jokes here).

I had some whacky problems a while back with mine. When I hit the brakes the dash lights and front corner lights would come on, plus other weird combinations. It ended up being a rusty tail light socket causing a short.

No gay jokes here. Glad you got another road bike. Don't let the saddle soreness turn you away. It just takes awhile to get used to it, and then you'll be fine. Good padded shorts don't hurt either, but I know you know whats up. Is your dad still into bike racing?

BTW my ride went bad today. Rode with my step sister, and she flatted 5miles into it. So I sprinted back to the truck, and rescued her. I had a 700c tube, and a co2, in my jersey pocket I could of fit on her 27" wheel, but she had no Q/R, and I had no wrench on me. Now I am bolting my new parts on my engine, and getting ready for pix!
