I think it's weird when people talk about the looks they get from other people when driving their whatever car, blah, blah.

A weak self image and self-worth.

Me car's better than your car. Me house is bigger than your house. Me better than you. Now me feel better.

Anyway, where I live there's always a better car around the corner so you'd be hard pressed to impress anybody as it is. And nobody really gives a shit.

You've earned it.
I never wanted to get into an argument with you. Just tired of the HPFP comments from everyone who doesn't own the car. Mine went out after 25000 miles and the dealership replaced it in 4 hours and I was back on the road the following day for a 6 hour trip. Well take care and thanks for ending this, its too early to be fighting. Peace.

^^ You both drive grocery haulers (as I do 5 days a week plus all winter) so give it up!

As for NA motors, they are not all alike. Ones with ITBs per cylinder are quite amazing and throttle response is second to none. NA ITB>Turbo>Single TB NA. That's just the way it is.

Guys, this is too peaceful and mature for an internet fight. Come on! BRING THE HEAT! HPFP issues. Turbos are made for little kids. I want big engines. I want long rev bands. WHERE IS THE FIRE?

Coupes are for cool guys.

Sedans are for old farts.

Z4's are for chicks.

This is truth.

The more emissions a car produces the better it is.

Typical post from someone who probably bought his car based on the badge.

I don't think he's seen my post on the C6 Corvette. Some people might think I actually hate the BMW badge.
