His response in that thread was he doesn't care what the real numbers are.. BMW is the suck and his TLX is the best.

he was so adamant about the BMW 3-series, like not even 4 years ago.
like it's so fresh on my mind about the ESP arguments...
what a joke.

Saintor cracks me up.

You'd think after getting owned, repeatedly, day after day, by so many people in so many threads, that he'd eventually get the BIG picture - you know, have an epiphany of sorts.

Unfortunately, that doesn't appear to be the case. He's the kind of person who cannot look at both sides of a discussion with an open mind or take any construction criticism. He's ready to pull the victim card & excuses out of his ass to justify himself and his convictions that it's borderline sad.

If I had any advice for you Saintor, lighten the fuck up.

This is the internet. There are many different people on this forum with differing opinions. If you can't stand the heat, get the hell out of the kitchen.

Lets all just face the truth...Saintor likes nuts. Swinging on them is his favorite pastime.

I am trying to understand why Saintor keeps getting warnings but nothing is happening. Over the past month more than one thread has been closed as a result of him coming into the threads and ruining them. Numerous other threads were derailed period. This guy just doesn't get it and is so out of touch with reality, he's so gassed that I actually can't beleive he isn't a troll.

I'm sick of the constant "this is an auto enthusiast forum" bullshit. Auto enthusiast means people who like cars. It doesn't mean people who like all cars and it DEFINITELY doesn't mean people who love Acura. Multiple really good threads have turned to shit as soon as he comes in and starts spewing his bullshit and all that happens is people end up not allowed to state their opinions, it turns into a mud slinging contests, and lastly the person who made the thread has their thread either too far derailed or closed.

Saintor posts nut riding Acura propaganda, AZ responds with opposing views, Saintor throws a tantrum, full thread derail commences, Saintor gets owned & back pedals, Moderators issues warnings, Saintor goes into hiding until he can reinsert his dick into the next discussion.

Anybody see a pattern here?

*Was* ?

For the record, BMW IS actually my favorite "mainstream" brand, loved my E46, had a rocky experience with my E90 (although it drove like a champ), the F30 is *blah* (although I almost bought one).. Might return in a G30 when the lease is up next year.. For now I totally enjoy my TLX, a very good car, don't care much about the rest of Acura. People complaining about Acura's quality have apparently no or little idea about the quality of the Audi, BMW... much worse. These companies try to innovate badly, often at the risk of developing issues. Has been there, saw that. They surely don't torture-test their designs like the best Asian car makers do (including Honda).

All shitty, yes... but nothing bannable. Everyone arguing with him is just as responsible for the derailing of a thread. Can't ban everyone. Can't ban people for having opinions.

If he personally attacks someone he gets warned, and has been banned for it before. If it continues to happen, he will get banned again. But only for violating the TOS, not for having an unpopular opinion or for presenting it in an unpopular way.

If people don't like him, put him on your ignore list. If people continue to engage, the responsibility goes both ways...

Quiet now, the grown ups were talking about how much Acura sucks balls and puts out lame ass cars because Honda keeps a strangle hold on them and doesn't allow them to do anything different.

Was. Because now you're on Acuras nuts. But in a year, you'll be on another brands nuts...
i have never interacted with you until this thread.... But even I can see the patterns... You argue till you're blue... Then jump ship. ..

Fuck outta here

Probably should lock thread due to derailing and never getting back on track

Then you would be doing what happens every time and not actually solving the problem.

That's an easy way out for somebody with zero argument. Since you brought that up, leases can be very convenient for "car enthusiasts" wanting to change frequently.

I'm thinking leasing is the way to go for Acura owners just to avoid issues when warranty is up.

Always Catching Up, Rarely Ahead

Do these same enthusiast use regular gasoline like you do with the TLX? Maybe it's because they Lease?

Don't need to be involved because simply put



Directly from the owners manual of a TLX

Enlighten to me again why an enthusiast like yourself uses regular gasoline and made a worthless thread concern about fuel economy?
Source: https://acurazine.com/forums/fifth-g...-17mpg-941025/

Point being, your far from a real enthusiast, certainly one that doesn't even follow Acura's requirements, which is shocking since you're their number 1 fan.
