Although I don't disagree with his thoughts on some owners I don't think a new thread to complain about and lash out at the people that disagreed was the right move and does indeed make it whining.
Now, if this was written as satire or irony and intended to be funny then I missed it completely.

I did go back and read it and decided there is an in-between point here. Yeah, he probably did not like it that basically no one agreed with his original thoughts. However, in this thread, he did not paint all or most of 86-owners in this light. He said some. And I think some did exhibit a slight bit of snobbery (which happens with all makes) against anything KIA - which is not unusual, a lot of people look down on Korean manufacturers.
But yes, this thread is a bit of an over-reaction even for that since most here are pretty reasonable.
I have some biases and I love the make/model car I have driven the past 17 years, but I like interesting cars - and that is exactly one reason I am looking at getting a FR-S or BRZ for a fun car. I would probably be interested in a Stinger if I got a test drive. (Full disclosure - I loved the 2011 Sonata turbo we had for my wife's car, and we now have an Equus that we both like (neither were for fun!!).

Well - I hope not. If he will just buckle up and enjoy the ride wherever it takes him, it will be better for all of us.
Anyway, if @
Tcoat and I start going back and forth, there will be dozens of pages of comments and triple quotes!!
