Way to jump the gun there champ. Let me go take a spin in our crappy fails mobile of a base corvette. <--my weak attempt at a slam at your posts above.
Haven't you ever heard the phrase, "if you can't say anything nice, shut the fuck up"? Some guy says, "hey, I just spent bucks and hours making this" and your response is, "meh, it would have looked better different", that's a dick move. A simple, "hey, looks good" would have been plenty sufficient.

There's giving someone shit, like we do Glow (all in good fun) and then there's flat out saying that something that a dude has been working on for prolly a couple of years is "paint & halos" when you know that Travis has spent some serious time & coin on his car. You just dismissed all of the hard work and money he has put into it as if it were nothing.

By the way, we all get it, daddy's got money, enough already. Until you earn your own I don't give a shit.

Josh, you have met me 1-2 times yet your coming up with these ridiculous accusations and being a complete ass towards me. I don't know what the hell i did to deserve anything you just said, but i really think you should take a step back and take a look at what you're writing. I am never rude or mean to ANYONE on here or anywhere, and all the guys on here that i hang out with and associate with can attest to that (matt, jorge, etc).

For the record, i remember hearing Travis talk about those headlights on MNSC saying he bought them from guy and saying that they were one of a kind or something along those lines. If thats true, then i very much doubt he spend 'hundreds of hours' and 'years' working on it (especially when he really just started modding it about a year and a half ago. I was at that meet at Jorge's house, remember?)

And you are on and online car forum, you are SUPPOSED to give your opinions on things. I am, not gonna be a complete fucking asshole and start calling it rice, etc and saying things that give 0 criticism at all other than the fact that i dont like it. Instead, I'm going to say "looks good, but i'd prefer black headlights" (which is what i did. Never once did i personally attack what he did or the choices he makes. I simply gave my )

As far as my dad having money. Cool. You have come up with that assumption. Or maybe its the fact that my dad works very hard to provide for his family and that the only time he even spends in Minnesota is on the weekends. The rest of the week he is on projects in Missouri. So yea, thanks for attacking my family now.

Also, as Matt can attest (and by some of the pics i posted) i work my ass off to pay for what i have. My car was NOT that expensive. It pales in comparison to some kids Matt and I know. Its 5 years old with 61,000 miles on it. I'd hardly call that some $50,000 brand spanking new car that my dad just handed to me and i run around beating the shit out of it all day, smoke weed, and sleep until noon.

No, i work EVERY day doing multiple jobs, making my OWN money and buying my OWN things. Detail cars, yard work, and painting. I never get a cent from my dad and if i do, it's on christmas or my birthday.

I'd say i take offense to the things you just said, but honestly, i could give a shit less. In fact, i'm not even going to bother talking to you as tonight you brought out your true colors. I thought you were a pretty cool dude and i was gonna talk to you about maybe doing some autocrosses with me and my dad, but i guess if this is the way you feel about me and my family, i won't even bother.

I came on here mainly to talk to Brian, Matt, Jorge, Travis and Kyle. I'm sure i'd get along with the rest of them, but i haven't been able to get out much this summer as i'v been busy.

I hope you can get these notions out of your head. I am not NEARLY as bad as you are making me out to be.


Off my soap box.

If you want to autocross, go for it, I don't own the series, you don't need me. Go have fun with it. Me being there should have nothing to do with whether or not you go, it's about getting the most out of your car.

Yea, you told me to shut the fuck up because i thought that the cost of his ehadlights seemed high... yea, seems like a totally logical responce to that. I ahve probably met and talked to Travis more times than you, then you act like hes your best bud.

I come on here to try and get the clubs together and have a good time. Pretty much ever since i met you, you have treated me like shit. I don't know what i ever did to you, but i'm really getting sick of it. Ever since i posted a pic of my dads new car, it went down hill. News flash. That car is used and cost less than a brand new STI. So don't act like my dads got a Ferrari or something. If you don't like me and are going to be a little woman about it, i'll just talk to the people i want to talk to. You just ignore me, and i'll ignore you. I don't really feel like being told to shut the fuck up because i said something that wasn't nice by your standards, but yet you can tell me to shut the fuck up and thats ok... makes 0 sense but whatever floats your boat.



Anyways. Matt will be at my house in about 2 hours. We are buffing up the TL today. Got a new cutting pad and some polish. Make that baby shine

Maybe it is your inconsistent capitalization of the letter I he is the Punctuation Nazi.
More than likely he is just trying to get you going and you are responding with long posts and being defensive which is the whole point. The best thing you can do is take all online post whether it is here or elsewhere on the web with a grain of salt and not let it bother you. For example last week or so Josh criticized one of my posts for lacking punctuation and I responded that I would endeavor to do better next time. I could have gotten mad or defensive and told Josh to F’ off and go bother someone who really doesn’t use any punctuation on Azine but I didn’t. I have met most of the guys that post on this thread a couple of times and I like everyone I’ve met, including Josh, and with that being said if Jorge or Brian called me a dick, asshole or worse I wouldn’t let that bother me. Because as much as I like getting together and hanging out with everyone on this thread you guys are not in my inner circle of friends or family and thus calling me a name or bashing me on the internet would have little impact on my actual life.

So I guess all I can say WannabeG is don’t let anyone on here or anywhere on the net get under your skin as all of us have little to no real impact on your real life and as such our opinion of you, your family or even your dad’s very bright orange colored Corvette doesn’t really matter.

The thing about posting on forums or any other means of online interaction with others is that you can not tell what people mean or how they mean to say it by just reading. It's the same as text messaging, My girl has gotten plenty pissed at me for a text message i sent that she took one way and i meant it another way. Phantom is right, don't let it bother you so much. Also, we are all online, once in a while friends. Until you spend time with people and bring them into you "inner circle" what we say or think of you or anyone for that matter isn't a big deal. When josh called you a dick, he probably laughed about it cause he was meaning to be funny and joke with you. I have been called way worse on other forums but I don't care. People who attack others on forums are internet tough guys. They have no lives and dont get enough attention from mommy and daddy i guess.

Anyway, just let it roll off your back man. Its really not that big of a deal. I give friends shit online all the time but its all in good fun. Nate_0022 is a friend of mine and i give him shit for being Native and getting free money from the casino but he just takes it lightly and we banter back and forth. Its fun.

BTW, Josh, if you read this im too damn lazy to capitalize every "I"...

Let's look at what was actually written:

Wow, way to be a dick. You may not like what he has done, but you don't have to be a douche about it.

And dude, you are in college, learn how to use their, there, and they're properly.
and:

Haven't you ever heard the phrase, "if you can't say anything nice, shut the fuck up"? Some guy says, "hey, I just spent bucks and hours making this" and your response is, "meh, it would have looked better different", that's a dick move.

So, tell me where I tell you to "shut the fuck up"? Tell me where I claim that I'm best buds with Travis? About the only thing you are ranting about that I DID say is that you're a dick for being so dismissive about his headlights. If anyone is attacking anyone in this thread, it would be you attacking me.

You say that I have met you maybe twice and then that I have always treated you like shit. Whatever.

I'll say it again, read what was actually written. I write what I mean and I mean what I write. I don't have any control over what you do with it.

Whatever Josh. i don't care anymore what you think. Its an online car forum. if i think 3k for headlights seems a bit steep when they aren't even including a projector retrofit, then i'm going to say it. Albeit politely, but i'll still say it. I write what i mean, and i mean what i write.


Matt's car is coming along great. Paint is really coming along great for a car with 166k miles and being 11 years old. Like a mirror again.



Lots of scratches are out and the swirls are gone.

Or so you think, sometimes you really hurt my feelers lol jk.

Wow, you're more into the detailing than I thought you were! How much do you charge to do an exterior detail (Door jams, wheel wells) I just clayed and waxed my car a few weeks ago. I was going to save up and have Rasky do it, not sure if you know who he is, he's on MNSC.

I know who Rasky he is. He is a far better detailer than I am though. According to matt hough, i'm better than your average shop.

For a car like the TL, i'd charge $160 for inside and out.

Heres a couple pics of Matt's car finished. He just left.

I have got to read up on what is happening with you all. I have been busy with coaching Baseball and on the 9th I had orthoscopic Knee surgery so I am still recovering. How many of us are going to the honda meet on the 31st and how many are going to the MSC meet on the same day. I think we should all go together to one or the other.

I need to get the fuck out of this house. I have been working and coming home and doing nothing, been saving up my money and vacation time for our trip to Hawaii at the end of August.

Thanks to all about your support for my Knee. I am walking I think. I know what you mean about being stuck in the house. i haven't been able to do much myself. As for the meets, who wants to go where and how many of us are there? I would be willing to go anywhere. Lucky you get to go to Hawaii in August. Are you going to see your fam? Let's see who wants to go to the meets. Talk to you guys later.

I had the highway to myself on the way home from work tonight and I just went flatout from the entrance ramp... I was so surprised at how well it pulled, all the way through 140 was so smooth.. It felt like it woulda kept going too but I had to slow down for a turn that I was coming up to

Let's see who wants to go to the meets. Talk to you guys later.
Hey, hope you are feeling better!!! I'm down for the meet!!! Just let me know which meet you guys are going to. Should we meet up and go together?

Damn - I've been gone for a while. Going to rant a little, try to follow along.

First of all - 19 DAYS TILL THE PIGSKIN FLYS AGAIN!!!

I know, I know. Been a doucher this summer. When's the next meet? I've been lurking behind the scenes and haven't really been up to much lately (except for all the times that I have been)

Got pulled over on 169 on my way to Milaca for work (Fairview), got a warning

Wifey lost her job last Thursday. I guess I can't be surprised.... she did sell construction materials to places like Home Depot and Sela. Just never really expect it to happen when it does.

I discovered "the clay bar" about a month ago. 2 days later, I drove for 3 hours to a cabin. I still have bugs in cracks I didn't even know existed.

Speaking of lights - mine were having issues with fogging up again, so I removed them and resealed them. Probably not the right way, but they don't leak so I won't worry about it (no oven, just siliconed the edges). Probably not as fancy as some of your "paint and halo" variety. lol

Went camping last weekend too. Came home Saturday night after mother nature showed me what she had. Bitch. My screened canopy > 2 broken legs > airborn > soft landing on my tent > all poles broken > flat tent > went home. BTW - That nice "tub design" on the base of tents; Works well from the outside AND the inside!


OK. That about sums up my summer. Oh.. and while I'm thinking about it. Hannibal Means from America's Got Talent scares the hell out of me.

Damn, that sounds like a fantastic trip. Careful with the AT&T international 3G rates, they aren't a joke, I looked into them for a recent trip to Mexico and it wasn't nearly worth what they wanted.

Pineapple, which island you going to?

Glow, sucks to hear about the wife's job, hopefully she'll find something soon?

Is the meet July or August 31st? I'd be interested in going with you guys and finally meeting some of you. Could be a fun drive down to the citites.

Damn, doesn't look like I'll be able to make it. I have my gf's family reunion up in Ely. If you guys decide to make it to the fall MNSC meet I'll be sure to make it to that one.
