Alright, I can plainly see you don't like the cars on your web page, and that is fine because it is your opinion and you should be able to express it.
-------------
Thank you for your permission.

I'm sure you're probably very proud of your fast American car- probably a mustang, huh?!?
-------------
Fast American car, yes. Mustang, though it qualifies, no.
---quoting---
I'm not writing this to put you down for your web page or anything, I just wanted to share another point of view with you. I don't have a nice car at all, so what you say is no insult to
me. I'm a girl anyway so I couldn't care less about speed or looks.
-------------
What kind of stereotypical bullshit is that?
---quoting---
Have you ever thought that some of the cars on your page look like that on
purpose? You're right, most of them are probably slow as hell, but they did get your attention, right?
-------------
They got my laughter.
---quoting---
You can look at those cars and tell they aren't made to go fast, they
are made to look good. Maybe you don't think they look good, but others do.
-------------
Ah, you see, you're incorrect here. About 95% of the time, they are dressing up their car to make it look fast. "Looking good", they reason, is a byproduct of looking fast. These cars do not look fast in stock form for a reason - they aren't fast.

Honestly, I don't know what possessed that guy to paint his car the color of a traffic cone, but it does get attention. How do you even have the time to take such good pictures of these cars anyway?
-------------
You like my photography skills? Thanks.

Hell, I go to UNF too, and I spend all of my time looking for a damn parking place.

I do not attend the University of North Florida. There is, however, a TON of rice on that campus.
---quoting---
Why don't you make a page about the cars you do like instead of the ones you don't? Of course, they would probably all look the same because it's apparent you don't like fancy cars. But hell, it's better than pouring so much energy into something
you don't even like.
-------------
You are calling these rice cars "fancy?" Huh? Sorry, I don't follow.
---quoting---
I really hope you are reading this because I'd hate to think you're one of those hypocrites that enforce their opinions on people
-------------
I didn't force you to view this web page.
---quoting---
but then won't hear opinions of others. By the way, the Japanese letters are probably the symbols for the car brand and anyone that knows anything about racing knows that those spoilers don't do anything for speed..... they just look nice.
------------
So... you are agreeing with me, then?
Of course, "looks" are debatable, but a general rule of thumb is to just say no to a spoiler that is so disproportionate to the car itself, or just plain tacky.
---quoting---
thanks...
ps. don't bother writing back unless you actually have something constructive to say.
-------------
Well, I contructed a response. Does that count?
