Honestly, people are ENTITLED to their own opinions. If you don't want to hear or see other's opposing opinions,
why even post up pics? No one forced you to. If we all wanted our cars to look the same, we would have kept it in STOCK form and not bother modifying it. You surely sound like you have INSECURITY issues or something. "wouldn't say those things to my face in person"......wow such a BADASS that wants/likes confrontations.
I agree with you in one respect. It would be one thing if I posted a pic and said " Hey guys... What do you think about this?" However, making snide comments about people's cars is quite another. I posted it because the guy that started this thread asked to see photos of cars with white wheels as his girlfriend wants them. I have white wheels so I posted a generally requested photo.
Your statement about modifying cars is right on... and I couldn't have said it better myself. Which is why it is nice when somebody's car looks different than mine and vice versa. I am fine with people not appreciating or caring for how I have modified my car, it comes with the territory. For instance, you, nvturbo in particular have made many threads that helped and educated forum members about projects that you have done. That is what I think this forum should be about.
I'm not a "BADASS" or even trying to be and I didn't start or like confrontation, which is exactly my point. I would Never walk up to someone at a meet and tell them the things that I didn't like about their car. Or say something as unnecessary as "I feel bad for your car." It's just rude. I agree that everyone is ENTITLED to their opinion, I just don't see the need to make such a negative comment. If I like your car I will tell you, if I don't ,I will either just keep walking or find something about it that I do like it. I was merely saying that I feel most people wouldn't say some of the things they say on this forum to the people if they were actually talking to them face to face. Not me in particular but anyone. Out of politeness, not in a badass, you wouldn't say that to my face way because I would fight them. Obviously, I wouldn't.
It isn't weak to be polite. It isn't insecure to expect some in return. I just enjoy this forum more when it is a group of like minded people supporting and educating each other about their cars. Yes, which includes differences of opinion... That however doesn't necessarily mean that insulting remarks are helpful or welcomed.
Anyway, enough of this thread jack... Get some white wheels for your girlfriend... They can look good if you like that sort of thing.
