then saying your going to kick shuans ass. because stimpy is to big? when is this going down so I can watch? or are you just talking more trash. since your on the internet. stop Ethugging.  seriously tho, you can pm me if u want. im curouse why you are angry enought that you acctualy want to pysicaly fight those two, and try and cause physical harm.
in a previous thread u stated you where bullied in school, and almost brought a gun to school. and if u had, that they would not have been calling it the columbine high school shottings but the "insert your school name here shottings"
im not friends with them. im not friends with you, just curious why. u can pm it to me if u want, and are afraid to say it here.
where they bulling you or somthing enough to make you want to phsycaly attack them? are you a member on rft? or how is it that you are arguing with them?

Jeffrey Stillwell (known as stimpy here on PFF) was going to pay someone to slap me in the face/kick my ass here in Georgia, I was merely returning the threat. He wants to threaten physical violence, he should expect the same response back.
Frankly, Shaun Hammit needs to be put in his place. If anyone is the master internet e-thug, its him. He makes insults online that would have gotten him put into the hospital in real life. He asked Steve Kelly's son to sign his balls, among other things related to child pornography. The average troll still left here on Pennocks pale in comparison to Shaun. If you want to talk about backing out of a fight, he was the first to do so, my first challenge was to him, he did not directly reject it, but he did not accept either. Where are the people on RFT calling him out for the weak ***** he is?
Yes, I was bullied in school, I won't deny it. There's just so much a person can take, and grade-school kids can be mean. Its called "acting childish". I gave my share of bullying back then, and I'm sorry for those who I may have hurt. I also forgive the people who bullied me back in the day, they didn't really know any better.

not everyone keeps there cars for 20 years. alot keep them tell they start having issues. or are between 100+130 thousand miles. and they trade them in for somthing new. if everyone still had there 20 year old cars. u wouldn't see new cars on the road.
atleast thats how we do it where we live in california. i do tend to see more older cars the farther i get from the city. and the more i get into the boondocks |

Funny you have a 20 year old Fiero, why wouldn't you want a 20 year old BMW?------------------
Technology is great when it works,
and one big pain in the ass when it doesn't.
Detroit iron rules all the rest are just toys.

Doesn't matter if you have the car in 20 years or not, that doesn't have anything to do with my point. My point is that you seem to consider BMW's as being superior to most other cars on the road, including Fieros. Comparing an almost-new BMW to a 20 year old car isn't a valid comparison. Compare a 1984-1988 BMW ANYTHING next to a Fiero of equal age. My Grandfather had a 1983 BMW 3-series (don't remember what, this was in the mid-late 90's) that spent almost all of its time in the shop. It left us stranded several times. Your new BMW will be the same way in 20 years, and old easily-broken car with complicated hard-to-fix electronics. Insurance companies will be totalling the cars left and right because it'd cost more to fix the damned gadgets than the car will be worth.

CONTEXT. Re-read what I said and what 84fiero123 said. I did not say that the BMW's wouldn't run, I said that the technological crap wouldn't work.

dude, u have to be reading my posts wrong. i never compared the bmw to the fiero. any year for any year.
my whole argument was that a bmw with tcs could save lives. and you all started trashing my bmw. so i defended it.
then you start telling me it will be trash in 20 years. so i hd to point out i won't own my bmw that long. because I won't. except maybea e36 m3. and i do want a e30 m3 as well.

Really, other than the times Jeffrey is off his meds, I think he's a cool and funny guy. But I wouldn't get without several miles of him, he's batshit insane. He went overboard for the tiniest little thing and skipped straight to real life threats.

Ok, ok, fine I'll agree that ABS can save lives. TCS....possibly, in the right circumstances. But in my experience, if you know what to do in extreme circumstances you can actually do just as good or better without them. They are crutches that people lean on, everyone should first learn how to threshold brake and how to control an oversteering/understeering car when they go in for a driver's license. They should be treated the same way as automatic transmissions are treated in Germany. Supposedly over there to pass your driver's test you have to do it in a car equipped with a standard transmission. Better to have overkill in your abilities than the bare minimum, so you don't have to rely on your crutches to help you walk.
