So, I watched a dozen of different cars and a range of results from 220 to 750 whp. Did I hate these cars because they were stronger or better? Nope, in fact I respected them and respected the garage owner that had all these customers. Many other owners did the same for my car, because they knew what it is all about and what it is not.
What I don't like is people doing negative criticism just for this. I've seen people even chasing other members in forums just to post negative comments to whatever the others will say. Some of them are doing negative criticism even to their own cars, because it is an entry level sports car. It is like hating themselves or their lives. It is so sad that people can't get over it. This is also one of the reasons some members stop joining the forums.

Attempting to point out an error or disagreeing with sombody is not hating on anything. If everybody just smiled and said "oh that is great" then there would be no point in even having a forum where thoughts can be shared. Just because people don't want to hear it doesn't make it negative.
People can totally dislike something about their own car and publicly state it. I totally rail to see how that is "hating on themselves".
I have frequently been accused of "chasing" individuals around. It is pure paranoia and self righteousness that make them think that. If crap is posted in ten threads then I will respond in ten threads. If sombody thinks every answer I give is somehow angry or negative just because it isn't what they want to hear that is their problem not mine. I had one guy PMing me daily to say "I hope you die soon" because I had the audacity to say I didn't think a Mazda engine would be an upgrade in an FRS. That one simple statement had him calling me the biggest hater ever just because I didn't smile, nod and hand him a participant trophy.
If people come here and expect nothing but support and praise they are going to be disappointed. When they lash out becuas in their own twisted anger they see nothing but anger in everybody else then we are better off without them anyway.

Either with idiotic mods, a lack of knowledge but presenting themselves as knowledgeable or a combination of both. The kind of person who would shell out big bucks for a throttle body and a new header, but not tune specifically for them.

Even then they are usually not being hated on. They just feel that way when everybody doesn't pat them on the head and tell them how great their idea is. |
