We need some excitement

You have two unsupported unsubstantiated mindless thoughts. One, Chuck Norris would win a fight with Bruce Lee and two, Bruce Lee was a dirty fighter.

Not a shred of evidence that Bruce Lee bit anyone or pulled someone's hair or kicked someone in the testicles. And in the Chuck Norris interview, he doesn't even give his opinion of who's the better fighter. It's a discussion of how Chuck Norris was hired by Bruce Lee.

I don't give an S, which person would win a fight, or if Bruce Lee was a dirty fighter, but I'll tell ya what, you really just post complete nonsense. I'd rather you just continue to say the expression "hot rod shaped like Cobra" over and over again, at least then you could be closer to the truth.

U don't give a S about fights but u sure give a S about threads after threads. my guess you're lonely

be back later. gotta catch the 4 train

What I give a S about is mindless drivel being posted by someone who drives a Nissan Leaf and takes the 4 train to buy kitty litter at the Petco store.

I mean, seriously, buy a C7 Corvette and go bother the members over on the Corvette Forum. Or you can actually post something here that makes sense.

Bruce Lee was a dirty fighter because he pulled his opponents hair, kicked them in the testicles and bit them? OMG!

I thought maybe the Chuck Norris interview would at least offer Norris' opinion of Bruce Lee's skill or lack thereof, or Lee's penchant for dirty fighting, but it's a story of how he was hired for a film by Lee.

Our schools are failing us, at least in NY.

I'm just so happy that we've found something to fight about and belittle each other over. Starting to get teary eyed.

[mikeinatlanta]

So... Bruce or Chuck. Which one could have gone fastest in Dick Smith's cobra? That's a real measure of a man.:

I'm NOT fighting about Bruce or Chuck. I just want NYG to make some sense and support his arguments.

I'm sure NYG wrote a paper on Shakespeare in school and his bibliography included that Chuck Norris interview.

No, sir, i am very secured with my life and my subway pass. Every day is a blessing.
Now i dont get why you are insecured? Actually, i do but im not here to be a shrink. This club is for hobby car enthusiasts. Yes, not much excitement with Cobras, unless it is parked at a car show or a real Cobra is being auctioned at B-J.

You guys love to bash Real1. he comes off as a d--k, but u know what, he did pony up for a "real" Cobra replica/continuation/Kit car. He is A true believer and u need him in a hobby. How else will these cobras survive? His passion has to be passed on.. Unlike Shelby's kids who seem to be out of the Cobra business.

Back to Bruce V Chuck. With all due respect to Lee fans (and I am one), he was an actor with martial arts skills. Yes, he fought in some competition but he didnt compete at the highest level.
Chuck Norris was a world champion fighter before a Movie & TV Star. He outweigh Bruce by 40lbs.
steven seagal, Van Damme were also real fighters before Hollywood.
Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Tony Jaa, Jason Straham, The Rock, Stallone... All Actors

You're making a HUGE assumption that the best fighters in the world fight in an organized system like the Karate Championships. Just because Norris can out-point an opponent in a match doesn't necessarily make him the best of the best in terms of a real fight.

There are those that buy something for the prestige, investment, and/or bragging rights.


Then there are those that buy because they love what they own.



I shall not make an assumption as to you and/or anyone else's mindset for those choices, as I am not in your shoes, yet at the same time, you are not in mine. So, best that you do not add labels strictly based on the money spent for one item or another. Vain, conceited, and narcissistic are words I never want associated when others are discussing me.


Some will get it, others will not, which one of those two groups are you associated with?

5 pages of nonsense and you picked me to quote? Move on.... go back to Hall Monitoring a forum in which you do not own.
I've seen you bullied members who re-start a dated thread.

Ok, so we'll mark you down as one of those that does not get it.


Thanks for the response

For me, I would add "know-it-all" to your word list. I like to think I learn something new around every turn!

Oh man this is funny - MRMUSTANG must have left to go to the bathroom or something because he would have taken all this down by now if he was reading it (just like he does at the SAAC site)!

I didn't mean that as a dig on Bill. Hope it didn't come across that way.
I meant it as a trait that I don't want to be thought of having because I am certainly no "Know-it-all" by a long shot!

Indeed, I try to learn something new every day, cars, bikes, planes, and just about anything else mechanical in nature. Keeps my head on straight, and my mind firmly in gear.

Again some will get it, others never will.

Oh, I totally get it.
And BTW, it's a proven fact that narcissism is incurable. I know a few and can only tolerate them so much.

Enthusiasm is measured in many ways not just how much money one spends on a car. There are many factors to consider.

[jhv48]

Well, that explains everything!

At least now we know which category he falls into.

Well put. I for one believe that I suffer from some level of OCD once I am fixed on a project or problem, be it a certain screw or part or something they all say doesn't exist. And I will chase the ends of the world until I get exactly what I am looking for. Call it enthusiasm or whatever.

Or be it a certain thread topic like narcissism.
