I still question this guy's intent. Many of his posts consistently try to convince me to not like my car as much as I really, really do. A car purpose-built for driving fun and enthusiasm. In essence, his posts dissuade enthusiasts from being enthusiasts. Most of us don't care for performance numbers yet he feels a need to focus on it as if it were important to us... to remind us of something obvious which we are already very well aware of. Yes, we are fans of what appears to be a mediocre car in his world yet isn't mediocre to the world in general.

If he posts with similar intents on any of his Miata forums (since they are similar cars in essence), then I'll accept more of his posts as genuine rather than hate-driven.

when i say shit talk, i mean posts like the ones above. not really valid discussions or even discussions at all.

theres a little bit of irony here because i clearly remember you using the factory backed griffon trd gt86 race car going around tsukuba faster than an italia as proof that the frs is better than the 458.
