Good source for chrome lug nuts?

I too am beginning to wonder what Woodsman's problem is with JD. Awhile ago he attacked his car and now he calls him 'our leader' and says 'Poo Poo.' I mean, Woodsman, there is life after High School! Whatever it is, get over it!

By 'attacking his car' are you referring to when I said his car isn't 'custom' as you had called it? I've built 2 custom vehicles and as such feel we should use our words more carefully- maybe you need to look around the entire car scene so as to get a grip on what's out there-- get educated you base-car bum!

Woodsman, I did not call his car 'custom'. The post you refer to was #84 in JD's 'thinking of buying a 981' thread and I called his car "an immaculate, tastefully upgraded example." I still believe that to be the case. Your response was that "the only thing special about jd's car is the 'I can't drive mileage'. You are the one who should choose your words carefully in your attempts to denigrate other's cars, their use of their cars and their posts.

Cheers!

If I might jump in for a moment, I think we might have a misunderstanding here and the real issue is about the tone of Woodsman's comments rather than the actual content. I think Brad is wondering if Woodsman actually has a hate on for JD or if his caustic remarks are just a ribbing all in good fun. Sometimes it can be hard to tell, which is why we have emoticons.

If I say something nasty, and put that green smiley face after it, you know I'm just yanking your chain. If I don't then there is a pretty good chance that I actually mean what I just said, not that I would ever actually be nasty to someone, well, except for that DICK that gave a a hard time about putting oil in my coolant tank by mistake that time. But he really deserved it.

Mark, I try to distinguish between good-natured ribbing and insults; indeed, I did not respond to the comment that I "get educated, you base car bum" as it was obviously intended in gest as per the emoticon. I do, howver, object to revisionist history (I did not suggest JD's car was 'custom'). I also object to offhanded dismissal of anyone's Porsche, not just JD's. I was attempting to keep the thread on point by suggesting that, before selling the Dangermobile, JD carefully consider that he has modified it to suit his own tastes and that it has probably already depreciated as much as it is going to depreciate. Woodman's comments to the effect that his car was nothing special were, IMO, an insult in that context. Insulting somebody's Porsche (especially one that is obviously loved and well cared for) is almost as bad as insulting somebody's wife. If you don't like somebody's spouse or Porsche, fine. But unless specifically asked for, it generally leads to a better atmosphere on a site to keep those opinions to yourself!

As to JD being "our leader", what does that mean? While he has contributed greatly to keeping this site interesting and, yes fun, he has never made that claim nor has anyone else, so far as I am aware. Further the comment suggests that as JD is "our" leader, he is obviously not his. I still have no idea what that means, although it certainly implies that he wants to distance himself from JD and his opinions. Again fine, although I am unsure how it advances this or any thread.

Anyone who has followed this site knows that JD doesn't need the support of me or anyone else. I just found that Woodsman's comments were, in relation to my own post, inaccurate (interesting for someone who is suggesting that I should choose my words carefully) and in relation to another member's car, a bit insulting and inflammatory.

Thanks Southernstar for correcting my assumption that ' one of a kind' is the same as 'custom'. It is not and may I say jd's car is a perfect example of this! I was merely trying to rein in your high- schoolish enthusium about jd's car. I have noticed this is a pattern for you whenever you address jd. ( may I point out that jd's picture is decades old!
