Personally, I'm still wondering about his thread on the Boxster being the best track car. Can't think of a thread where he ever said he's been on the track or an autocross from which to develop an opinion, yet opinions are free and, from what I've learned, you can't teach a new dog anything - I've tried. Jake is quite young and I think they now learn l33t in kindergarden instead of cursive in elementary.

Did you ever read the thread about it being a track car, I simply posted a link for others to read, I have absolutely never had track experience but am looking forward to it sometime soon.

Really?

I guess you're right. You have no opinion(s) about what would make a "good" track car -- see I even used quotes like you did.

And since I have some time as I finish my coffee, a little constructive criticism:

"Did you ever read the thread about it being a track car,..."

Ok -- this sounds like a question, so you want to use a "?" instead of a ",". Also, "even" would be a better choice than "ever" -- I think what you are going for is a little bit of angst and/or frustration rather than "ever" which implies something else.

"..., I simple posted a link for others to read,... " This is an independent clause and can stand by itself. However, I would like to state that this is not true as you also posted opinions in the thread.

"... absolutely never..." I, and many others, know what "never" means. I don't think you need to qualify never with "absolutely", but to each their own.
