It really rather sounded like you were, at the very least, disappointed
by the entrance of these "ricers", as you put them. I noted that you made
no mention of other patrons or the cars they might of driven. Ill
withdraw my "complaint" comment. What do you call it then? Roving
reporter??

I was in a rush to get out the door so allow me to actually make my point
on that topic. it would of been that they wore the proper attire
supporting their hobby of choice, you werent wearing yours? I don't know
about most of you but when in public, and on my time, I tend to wear
nothing but VW or Scirocco related t-shirts. VW's are for the most part,
my life. Who else would wear a Scirocco shirt while working at a NASCAR
event?? LOL!!

I commend you on your ability to say what's on your mind without using
poor language. Seriously.
Your posting didn't upset me. Nor did it make me unhappy in any way. Im
just curious as to why you posted at all? There wasn't anything Scirocco
related in it. No VW upcoming events were mentioned. Were these just
"Deep Thoughts by Nate" or something? Also know that anytime that you
post to a public forum, expect replies from both sides.

Being told your ignorant isn't the end of the world. By definition its
the lack of knowledge or experience. Have you ever talked to a Honda
enthusiast?? if the answer is NO then that makes you ignorant, right? Im
plenty ignorant on many topics. Everybody is to some extent. Except for
maybe Kevin Collins, he knows everything.
The whole challenge of life it to not stay ignorant. That lies up to you.
Do I think you have a problem with it? No, I would however, like to try
and open your eyes to a few things if I can.

I thought I was fairly straight foreword in what I said so I don't know
if this comment is directed towards me or not.
I think your message got singled out only because there have been quite a
few of these "ricer" type messages posted lately. Quite honestly I feel
its a topic that really doesn't need to be brought up, EVER. There can be
more quality messages posted to the list that could benefit or at the
very least, stoke some interest back into the list for what it once was.
I fear those days are long gone. Lets hope not.
