Oh, for those asking here's a front pic of the OP - http://pics.bbzzdd.com/users/w.../snowball_alkemyst.jpg

so here we go...personal attack x 2.

An SUV is much more a soccer mom car than a 2 door sports coupe.

It's funny how people defend their SUV always citing they need to be able to carry several people plus animals.

since you are the little librarian, go research youtube for vette vs ls1 240sx or sr20det ones...try to pick those not owned by someone that's 16 and has no money.

The topic is pretty clear. Pay attention to it and not others replies.

Way to take a single sentence out of my entire post, not respond to any of the rest, and still come off as insulting. Your powers truly are amazing.

BTW, the topic is not clear, you ask why you can't have an opinion against other people, people tell you what you are doing wrong, you insult them and tell them you aren't doing anything wrong. The cycle continues.

My post answers your initial question, as did others, but obviously that wasn't the reason you where looking for because you are still posting in this thread and egging people on. So clearly there is some other reason, which is why I posted the ulterior motives as I see them.

I don't know any 16 year olds with no money driving around in QX4s. Thanks for proving my point.

because most soccer moms aren't 16, that is a financeable $14k car though...also the particular year/make I own you wouldn't fine too many 16yo's either due to cost.

i'd avoid searching your car on autotrader though in comparison to much older 240sxs....

I was replying to the one key related part of your post which ended with
So whatever you where looking for, it looks like you got it, good job!

So if you were truly interested in the topic I had made it clear...it's obvious you aren't though.

How is telling you to ignore other's crap in the thread insulting to you?

How about you pay attention to my post and rather then picking out one or two sentences?

There, did that sound insulting?

Whatever, I knew you would try and do this so Thats it, call me an idiot/retard for not being able to read your mind and understand exactly what you wanted me to post so that you can feel you "won".

Curious, have you agreed to or accepted any of the comments in this thread?

You asked for an explanation. People have given them to you, yet all you've done is responded in the same way that everyone calls you out on.

You've done nothing to change the perception that people have for you here which makes this thread useless and in the end, just another attempt by you to be an attention whore.

Have you ever seen Lucky Number Slevin? There's a really great quote from that movie that I think works nicely as a corollary to your point. From the mouth of The Rabbi, played by the ineffable Ben Kingsley:

My father used to say: 'The first time someone calls you a horse you punch him on the nose, the second time someone calls you a horse you call him a jerk but the third time someone calls you a horse, well then perhaps it's time to go shopping for a saddle.'

LOL!!!

Troll - A monster in the Munchkin card game is named the Net Troll. It is described as having "no special powers, and is really mad about it."

Troll 2 - An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.[2]

I'd say these just about sum you up.

Personally I see no issue with most of Alkemyst's posts. He says some pretty blunt stuff, and possibly even arrogant, but he has a point in that he is pretty much right on target. I realize to most of you it's cool to punch kittens in the face, steal from people as long as they don't realize it, and to hate whatever is currently cool to hate. If it makes him a troll to call you out on that type of bullshit, then I guess he is a troll.

Quit your whining, OP. I have made a living of dissenting posts on these forums. I am called an asshole quite a bit, but I don't get called a troll. Maybe people just don't like you.

No one has proved me wrong on ANY fact I have stated.

If you actually did what you are stating, then it wouldn't be an issue. But most of the time you just act like a dick without said facts, and that is probably what irks some people. :confused:

hmmmm

here is the most recent example:
damn people are stupid. I thought it was pretty simple and clear...got my cashback two weeks ago. I made two purchases.
Whats the point? This is why people call you a dick.

On second thought, I'll change my stance. You don't troll in every thread, but when you do troll, you overwhelm the thread with cry baby posts. Try this out for a week: when you respond to someone, refrain from calling them "retards, idiots, etc". If you stick to this and someone still calls you a troll, don't respond to a troll with a troll. Test it out, see what happens.

you took my answer as sounding insulting because you read it that way.

I did not call you an idiot or retard at all...even after I explained what I meant you just don't want to let it go.

I think you are the one trying to keep score though.

This is another attempt by you to just crap in my thread. Did you check the autotrader like I said to see how baller that ride is? You want to attack vehicles as least know WTF you are talking about.

where do you see this of me calling everyone retards / idiots? Mosh's post was again a joke in reply...the cat thread was already brought up here (please read)...i'd rather not keep rehashing that.

I guarantee you will find far more posts first calling me a douche or troll or etc prior to me ever calling names.

Just check out this thread....it proves the point I was making.

What are you trying to accomplish? You haven't been addressing any of the constructive comments whatsoever, and have been combative as possible with everyone else. Interesting...

Methinks all your "troll" comments are just deflecting.

ah, going that route i guess. Well I give up. You keep asking 'whyyyy, whyyy whyyyy doesn't anyone like me" and you have about 75 responses here giving reasons. Apparently the only acceptable answer for you is "people call you a troll because they are retards". Good luck

:laugh: In my area - one Nissan 240SX for $3.5k and 13 Infiniti QX4s for >$8.9k

Like I said, a ricer or chick car. I'll give you credit and call yours a ricer. And note, you're the one that thinks he's a baller. I'm not the one trying to impress people here with what I drive.

edit - And I'm off to pick-up a friend and take my dogs to Fresh Pond to run around and they off to Home Depot to pick-up 16 18"x18" patio pavers. Yes, a sports coupe would be ideal for the task. Oh wait, if we pull-up next to a Vette, we won't be able to race it. Oh, Noes! :laugh:
