Some guy had the guts to put forth his idea of a cool car, out for all your OPINIONS. OF course in doing so one can expect both neg and pos feadback on his project. My problem with your "opinions" is your tact, your neg werent helpful or tactfull. As far as anon. negs are concerned, what a cowardly response. The only reason for not responding with an opinion useing your name is fear that your "opinion" may spark a responce against yourself. The gentleman who posted his work had the BALLS to put out for you to critique, you should at least have the curtousy to put your name with YOUR words.
I dont see a problem with how you feel about his work however, your class and tact show you to be a shallow person, devoid of any concerns for others feelings. If this man is anything like myself, he has put his heart into this project, something you may be incapable of doing.
I thought these boards were to help and encourage and your feedback as well as some others did neither. Just MY opinoin --Curt

I think that anonymous posts are sometimes the best ways to provoke discussion, or bring forth an idea that goes against the norm. Thats because usually when something totally out of the blue comes from someone who's posted many times before, then they are the subject of ridicule and teasing. This is a case in point. God forbid I say something bad about anything that goes forth on firstfives board or this COTM choice.

So what? Sue me, I posted anonymously, because I don't like the car. Does that mean that I'm a coward if I don't post my name when I think something sucks? Nope. There are also many other cars that have been COTM before that I don't like. Hell, many times I don't like my OWN car. But I especially don't like this one. It looks like it belongs on an episode of NASCAR garage.

These are my opinions. You don't have to agree with them or like them, just as I didn't like yours. But thanks so much for bringing mine out into the open and attaching my name to it when I tried to be quiet about it. What does that say about your own integrity? I guess that takes a backseat to your feeling better about exposing me for the evil, Nazi that I am.

Thanks Adam for ripping a new one,I guess you are right about opinions, not trying to get people to conform, just be nice about certain things, you know TACT. Especially since we all share the same make/chassis. It's kinda funny how both of the anon. posts originated from Mount Prospect,IL. It's just not cool bagging on people while trying to be anon., doesn't show much integrity. Stand up for what you believe in like you were preaching in the response post to mine.
