Of course, someone who has "Fast Cars, Fast women" listed as their interests must be terribly bright. Perhaps you have more to share?

well that explains nothing to me!! The guy spends a majority of his time putting others down. Almost all of the threads that i see jim posting in he is either attacking a member's intelligence level or bashing the rotary engine. I cant come to a logical reason as to why he hasnt been banned yet. Yes, on occassion he offers some good technical feedback but that doesnt give him a free pass to attack others. So no Mahjik i dont think its fun and games i think its pathetic and i know many others agree.

a. has been around cars so much, he is imune to fumes/exhaust so he loves midpipes
b. he loves lag so much, he preaches non-seq for everyone
c. has a beautiful little girl which he is probably spending more time with than his V8 project which is a good thing
That explains everything, I have a 5 year old that lives with the Mom in L.A., on the weekends that I dont work, I go there to visit him at least once or twice a month so its hard to get a full day to work on the RX..
to good Dad's....

Personally, I think the arguements that occur here are hilarious. People get so worked up over essentially nothing. I mean, come on, its an INTERNET MESSAGE BOARD. You CHOOSE to post here, you CHOOSE to read what others say to you. If you dont like it, stop reading. Beyond that, who CARES what someone you most likely will NEVER meet in person thinks about you?
Back on topic, I turned 21 in June of this year, bought my FD in July. Took my FD apart in July. Put it back together, took it apart, put it together, took it apart...yeah I justify it by calling it a 'learning process'....

You are making assumptions of me on a thread in the lounge. 
And honestly I really do not care what you think of me. Who's the one sounding like a little kid whining that Jim is so mean to you and should be banned because he tells it like it is?
When people start getting to you on a internet forum, you need to step back and realize what you are crying about. A bunch of words that someone writes 100's of miles away.

I am a 20 year old brash, arrogant and hot headed youth. I drive my demon machine FD in hopes of one day coming to terms with ultimate self realization of Legendary Hot Rodder.

He also has (or had) a Supra and a Z06. And Jim's a no bullshit, straight-shooter type who tells it like it is and his brutal honesty rubs some people the wrong way. If he ever rips you a new *******, it's probably because you had it coming.
I also know that he spends hours at a time on this forum whether it be positive or negative.... Hours that he could dedicate to that "V8 Monstrosity"!!! Thats the truth and it Hurts!!! That's why he lashed out at me for revenge..... Childish!!! It seems he failed in his V8 project or he's totally dumbfounded and bit off more than he can chew..... This is not a flame, just my opinion and some constructive criticism!......... Sorry!....... End of topic!PS. All jokes a side, Congratulations on the new Baby, Jim...
