You guys seem to be unable to differentiate between opinions and FACTS...Well that's YOUR problem, not mine...I have not been a regular on this board for the past two years to pay respect to Pintos and other inferior cars...And as I stated previously, I DEFINITELY LIKE other makes & models, but I'm not about to start making them the topic of discussion on this board and demanding "respect" for the cars I like. People just LOVE being "offended"...It's like they're not happy any other way...And just fot the record, I will NOT keep my opinions OR known facts to myself. Last time I checked, this was not the Soviet Union...
: : I know to each we all have our own opinions, likes and dislikes, but does that give others the right to slam? I think not. No this is a Mav board, best around, hands down. However, since I have been reading this board, only one thing has perturbed me. Ignorance such as that in which you display, T.L.! Someone asks a question, and you wise crack at em. Someone new to the world of the Mav, or Comet, and you make em out to be a fool. I have a like for any type car, whether its Ford, GM, Chrysler, import, domestic. Many things can be learned from all makes and models. Many things can be learned from those of wisdom. Nothing can be learned from ignorance. No, I don't know who you are, don't care, but likewise you do not know me, nor do I want you to. But I am sure many would agree, lets keep the obscenities off this board. Oh, and the pinto, yeah I laughed at em too, but now have one, and its small, but hey, thats my choice, not yours, and I'm proud of my choice. I have a camaro as well, again my choice. But Ive got 2 mavs as well, so does that make me hate all other cars? No, just try to give a little more respect to em all. So what does one say now? I'm a piece of trash? I'm a jerk? Doesn't matter, been called worse, by a lot better........
: : : I do not put people down for liking what they like...But when someone gets on this Maverick Board and demands respect for his Pinto, I just have to laugh...I have NO respect for that car and don't have any obligation to demonstrate any...
: :::I agree with JRP also. You know what is said about opinions,they'er like a-holes everyone has one, including this board. Sorry couldn't help myself!
