Second part response. You're right again. Be remember that not all drivers are "professional drivers trying to make a living". Everyone starts somewhere, and I used to run a 95 civic as a Jr. Rally car in CA. Wasn't pretty, looked like shit, but absolutely got the job done the best I could. And when it came down to running the walmart spoiler and racing the next two races, or running the name brand and missing 2 races... I chose the walmart at the time because it was what I could afford and keep racing.

I understand and appreciate everyone is modding under different circumstances. I value the opinions of everyone here and, to be honest, I agree with a large majority of them thinking to myself "WTF DID I JUST SEE!?"

I'm not trying to say we need to be nice, I don't care. I'm not saying I don't agree with the lot of you. I do. I am simply saying when we made the mistake of calling this a "discussion" we lied to ourselves. Call it what it is. It's a roast.

If you read through my comments, I try to add something positive to the conversation or add an opinion I can get feedback on. If I am wrong, and god am I often, I am going to admit it and man-up to that.

Personally, though, I'd rather help the community be a place where Steve, the newly 16 and finally getting into cars, feels comfortable asking questions like "How does a clutch work?" Rather than to be the guy who response, "It's called fucking google, you noob!"

I agree with every single thing you said.
