You really care what anyone else thinks, let alone an 11 year old?

Do you enjoy the car? Enough said.

But if you still feel the need to respond take him for a "ride". That way he can find out just how much one of the best handling production sports cars in the world "sucks".

In addition, should you feel the need to further stroke your ego, any of the following articles are also good places to direct people:

In fact, I have grown to admire and be inspired by even more of the character, friendliness and purely geniune people on this forum --- simply from the responses to this thread....so, if nothing else, it is good to know we are among good people.

well, for the most part....


We do have the best posters here in 986 land.

funny, how you changed your post response from
"send this to the child's father"

to "you listened to a 11 year old? WTF"


That is amusing.....

Is that supposed to mean anything to me and where in the heck did anyone say anything about listening, supporting, being offended, rejected, or personally defeated about an 11-year old and his comments? The objective of this thread was to objectively report on an instance, yes simply an event, that occurred as I thought was appropriate (considering the target 986 audience) and demonstrated questionable taste, slight humor and spoiled adolescent attitudes.

Based upon the majority of the responses, people identified with the premise of the reasoning behind the thread, & its purpose...exposing stupidity in the form of bad parenting and spoiled, wreckless kids gone wild..... sign of our times?

In any case, thanks for your off-handed & pointless submission.
