Why is it annoying? Think about how it feels to be the only yellow one at damn near any meet.

****, I have both, dude. It's all cool. Don't be like an rs25'er and talk smack about guys who bought bug eyes or whatever because they're "new agers".

so basically today i learned how my car acts on the corners now, i did a half-*** job trying to keep up with lance w/mike following right behind me. i guess its time to upgrade the suspension & brakes lol any help for install would be nice *coughEGANcough*
Same for me, I learned alot about what mods are actually neccesary for what I want out of my car. Something like this gives you a whole new perspective.

I also will be upgrading my suspension after today. Granted I wasnt stock, like Larry but only springs and sway bars while improving things alot still just dont provide the low compliance setup required to really push the cars limits. More than a few times I felt my struts reaching their limits and getting squishy. The new tires were fantastic today, I think they are the strongest feature in my "hadling" department. I could feel my suspension maxing out and yet the tires still gripped and gave me confidence enough to keep pushing it.

Another aspect brought to my attention today was braking. The stock brakes are really quite good respectively but more than a few times, usually when we were all really pushing it and a blind turn or fall away turn popped up I would get some pretty good fade and ABS sketchiness. Also following your STI Egan, I had to adjust my braking by not watching you brake but watching further ahead and judging your speed accordingly. Cant mess with the Brembos! So I will be looking into a BBK to tighten things up.

That was rad guys!

I had hoped you found a sense of humor in the last year or so. The problem started when you banned me for registering this screen name. In the time that I was banned and unable to post I had nothing else to do but make a horribly photoshopped picture which was posted as soon as a real moderator came along to lift the ban. That made you threaten to kill yourself and lurk for a year or so.

Then you came back and I stayed away from your posts until you started acting like an elite idiot *****ing because other people had newer and faster cars than you.

I can not even begin to tell you how many PMs I got pointing me to your posts and telling me (what I already knew) that you were back.

Hell I never had a problem with you until you banned me for no reason. I still do not have a problem with you, but your old school is all that is cool attitude has got to go.

Posting that picture again makes me feel the same way I did the first time it was posted, and its not good for my blood pressure I can tell you.

I never wanted to be a moderator, but everyone wanted me to be one because I go around and try to help people out on the forums and in person. But, im just not good at power + the internet, because ive always felt the Internet just doesnt count and all of this is just a means to an end, and that is meets in person to make friends with other folks with simular interests and be happy.

I always overthink thinks, and I appologize. When I banned you I thought it was funny, because I knew it was a 2nd acount and I knew you were joking with me. But, since it was an internet thing, and I tend to overthink things in my head and believed people would actual have the same perception as I did, it didnt work, and I'm sorry. Just like how I posted about this ride being all new school cars... I meant it as a joke, since my last meet n' drive was all GC8's, it just seemed Ironic to me and that obviously would not come across because nobody here really knew about the last drive I was on, since nobody here was on it.

Dont ever think you have to defend yourself against me though, even if it seems im out causing havok or just pissing people off for no reason, I never want a fight. I have no interest in ever creating any conflict with anyone, and if I am its an accident. Sometimes I sound like im trying to be "high and mighty" or trying to really say something negative about something or someone, but I was trained to critisize and analyse and ive always been told im too blunt when it comes to that arena.

So please, If I do cause any problems, let me know personally or just talk with me in person...
