However RWD can be fun and I planned on doing FI ANYWAYS on one of the twins. So technically I should have mentioned that first, and I do apologize. Either way I am spending close to $32-40k when all said and done.

I was just venting like most here [4] in the fact that they say they are focused on the mundane and boring(basically) to make the bean counters happy[5]. YET they released the twins, make type r models, make halo cars....and why? To make brand recognition and hope you get into their brand when young and single and stay with them when you are a dad with your 3rd kid on the way driving a minivan.

Then they flip it and say they don't really care. WTF. So in the end they have a great handling car and I want to go with them, I truly do, however unless they offer me more(albeit with a price increase) they just lost a customer[6] and countless potential twins owners before they had us.

[1] How do you prove that statement? I would like to see the results of the tests you have carried out to justify this statement. What branches of knowledge are you claiming superiority of? The more one specialises the less one tends to know of other fields.
[2] Contradiction; you already have.
[3] They are only affordable if you can afford it. By the same rationale a Veyron is affordable.
[4] Once again you make reference to a survey I have not seen the results of.
[5] You don't seem to appreciate that car manufacturers are first and foremost a business. They are run by "bean counters". That is, they are not going to release a product that only caters to 45 peoples' criteria.
[6] They did not lose a customer; they failed to gain one.


Your poorly worded essay leads me to doubt [1]

I have been holding out to give my first "thanks" because it seems silly not to type it if you mean it. So you get my "thanks for being a d-bag award".

You gave up your thanks virginity for a worthy cause!

Ya, I should get the standard "STOP IT" yell from upstairs any second now.
Oh and what come up when you search "beat me" gifs isn't all pretty by the way!

He made some nice cars too if you are into that sort of thing.
