First-this is the correct spelling POESUER

I think a good comparison would be a straight laced banker or lawyer who goes out and buys a bad ass Harley or chopper and tries to be a hard ass biker on weekends. Thinks he's HA because he's got a bike and leather vest.

As I recall the word originated back in the 80's around the time big hair bands were coming up. Many of these bands pretended to be hard core metal but were really pretty wimpy. Winger for example. In the context of this board I totally understand what boxterz is saying although I would defend anyones right to say whatever they like. At times the topics do go quite lame. Many are redundant and I think that the degree of some people to do anything on their own borders on the ridiculous. My personal pet peeve is when people use the word "twisties" to describe curved roads. I mean C'mon. Would you ever say this word in a conversation out loud ??? Sometimes I think there are too many unsolicited opinions. This is a discission board though sometimes I think it gets to be an opinion board and that is a little annoying to me. I think that this goes on at every board to some degree or another though it does seem to go on a little more here. I still read this board every day and do have ton of respect for most of the regular posters. Once in a while though I just gotta roll my eyes.

Firefox was invented so that you could open every thread you are interested in reading in thier own tab. That way you can close the ones you think are not to your liking. You might enjoy the board a litle more if you do this more often.

Overall you probably won't find a better auto board around. For sure not a better Porsche board.
