My signature there because I like it. My signature is there because I want it there. My signature is there because I'm proud of what I have. My signature is there also in part as a spoof to all those from whom I have taken $hit over the past two years, some in good hearted fun and some not so good hearted. I know when guys are busting me in good fun and I have been around long enough to know when they are not, such as one recent new comer.
The "REAL" discussion has been going on long before some various new comers appeared. In fact many here starting capitalizing the word "REAL" in many different contexts based in large part to the once raging debate on the subject. The capitalzaion of "REAL" has in itself become a spoof unto itself around here. Thats fine. Thats part of the fun.
Chaplin: You are right in what you have said. Thank you.
Ernie: Thank you.
Many here use FFR or SPF in their name or signature. Thats OK? Right? But if I use the SAI logo as my avatar or use "REAL 1" as my signature why does that make me the "a hole?" Does acknowledging the CSX as a REAL Cobra bother some people that much? Why? Insecurity or does it make them feel better to knock what they don't have? What about if it was an original? Would that matter or make a difference. Many here have from day one knocked the CSX. Thats fine. I'll just keep pointing out the facts in response everytime. If that makes me an "a hole", well then I guess I'm an "a hole".
Maybe CSX owners just shouldn't mention the fact they own CSX's because that also may considered a put down by some to what they own because we are "making it known we have a Shelby Cobra" and "some people" don't like that. That ridiculous. In short, tuff beans.
Very rarely do I just start talking about what the CSX is. Very rarely to I raise the "facts" out of context of a discussion on the subject or a demeaning comment directed to my car/CSXs. When that happens I'll just keep pointing to the facts.
Kobrakarl: If I keep slapping "Pedigree" in their face regularly which I understand to mean I keep saying others have replicas, again its usually in the context of a disucssion on the subject. If you look carefully all my discussions regarding the "pedigree" of any car including the CSX 99% of the time follows someone, usually more than one person making some demeaning comment about the CSX or implying its just some over priced replica. So I respond with the facts.
Is it that guys here don't know they have replicas of a Cobra? Whats the problem? Is it demeaning to say an SPF is a replica? An ERA a replica etc... Am I bursting someones bubble by saying they are replicas? I have said that the CSX is by definition a replica. So? Many guys here are "proud" they have what they have and many profess that they wouldn't even own a Shelby product or want one. So whats the problem?
As to pedigree all I can isay is if guys don't like "having the pedigree of their car slapped in their face" ie. that they have a "replica" how do you think it makes CSX owners who participate here feel when the pedigree of their car and my car are continually insulted, knocked and demeaned. I don't get angry. I just respond with the facts. If the facts hurt don't keep knocking the CSX because I'll respond with the facts every time.
No. You see the "pedigree" bashing does not come from me. Not once. I have never knocked anyones car. Not my style.
This a a forum. People discuss the subject of the forum.
I try to refrain from the juvinille practice of calling others names. Doesn't accomplish much. Guys can be REAL brave hiding behind a keyboard thousands of miles away and call me names. They are welcome to call me the same names to my face personally at the FLING if they would like. It would definitely be more exciting. Except I would like to take this opprotunity to say Jamo is truly a gabastic piece of amphibian $hit
Ok. I have said my piece. Carry on gents.
