Small Rant (was: Winter Beater???)

[jtoomasson@yahoo.com (Jeff Toomasson)]

Easy there, Jason - after I posted that link to the JH turbo setup on the
Hardcore forum, and you turn on me like that? Man, tough crowd.  ;)

Seriously, take a look at the rant I initially sent out. Even though I
really believe in the sentiment, you really should see several indications
that it was done tongue-in-cheek. So to classify it as ripping Dave, would
be considerably off the mark. I was basically ripping the car and the fact
that it was OT (both things I guarantee most lister agree with).

You'll also notice I didn't insult Dave (at least directly  :)  If I did, I
apologize.

And FYI -  YES, I am that bored  :)

PS - I also had to "step down" from a BMW to one of Wolfsburg's finest (so
far, actually more reliable than my M3 and less $$$).

Jeff (Aries and K-Car hater at large)
