lol I don't really care, I'm not trying to talk you into buying them, it just amuses me how you pull info out of a stinky black hole all the time and operate based on the completely random info.

I've installed a set of these exact ones on a GV wrx a few months ago. I loved them. The owner can't stop raving about how much he loves them, and neither of us bottomed them out with any sort of driving. They were properly designed. The shock body is wayyyyy shorter than stock, and there is wayyy more travel. It's not at all the same, even if the rates are on the low side. if anything, that means really nice ride quality for when you're not driving 10/10s

Call forwarding is a cluster **** and people are flipping out because they can't program speed dials and the word doc (yes, word doc and not PDF) with the directory got corrupted so no one knows each others numbers so everyone is running around asking people what there number is.

Having worked in VOIP... Your experience so far sounds par for the course.

when our building went from old voip to new voip system, there was some sort of glitch where phones would dial random numbers. not old phone numbers, but completely and utterly random numbers from what you were dialing. that was a really fun day

you'd call a local medical center, and get a taco bell or something.

Anything I've got is based off my experience.

It's clear that we don't do the same sort of driving. What works for you, might not work for me and vise versa.

how would you have experience with a part you've never driven on?

do you not see how stupid this logic is?

"Hey how does a wrx drive?"

-"bad"

"bad? why's that?"

-"well because I drove a corolla and it's a car of similar dimensions therefore it probably drives the same"

We're moving to VOIP sometime this year.

One of our locations goes to "training" next week.

I have ZERO to do with phones, I dont even have a phone (so people cant call me)

I wouldn't. I'm not saying I did.

I guess I need to break this down.

Answer to the original question.

My experience.

Comparing the specs.

Conclusion.

The real key.

On paper, I don't think I'll like them.


And then there's the saying... You know what you do with paper? You wipe your *** with it.

When you blanket the topic to it drives bad because of dimensions, of course it doesn't make sense.



And stop ninja editing your ****.
