[QUOTE=DAEMANO;2521535]Couldn't just left it at a misunderstanding could you? Obviously your statement didn't come off strange to just me. Perhaps your written English could use some work. If you're ever in So. Cal hit me up, I know a few places that might be able to help you. [/QUOTE

Hahaha, no I understood exactly what you meant, that's why I replied to your "hints of sarcasm" no hard feelings man. Time to break out the camomile I think

Simple. They whine because they have have a lose belt.


In truth it comes to this: Most people are accustomed to having a built racecar because racecar and now that they get a clear canvas, so to speak, they learn how 'handy' and 'ingenious' they really are with a vehicle.

For example: "This car is a slow @ ss mofo."
  • why not trade it in for something faster?
  • why not FI it?
  • why not e85 it?
  • why not engine swap?
  • why not RESEARCH IT FKN FIRST?!!!
  • Why don't you stop being a fanboi and buy with your brain next time
  • Why QQ over simple hp issues when you dont even drive past 70mph in your state?

Other example: "Why does the car have a ton of issues?"
  • why fkn even look for issues?
  • is this your first car?
  • why didnt you notice all these issues on your last few cars?
  • why are you so concerned with what my car sounds vs yours?
  • why are you comparing? even if its the same car, its the diferreent owner that distinguishes the car even when same model.

That wasn't whiny though. Was just poking anyway since it was the last whine like post on the thread. It could have been anybody really.

Not my opinon though, I don't feel I have an opinion here, just fueling the discussion ;-)

I have both read and seen the changes in person. Korea is the up and comer and in order to compete they have to be that much better.

My opinion on the subject of Kor vs Jap is a bit like this, if you were to buy a sound system and the choice for your budget was a Bose sound system or a higher spec (on paper) LG system which one would you buy if both cost around the same?

Personally I'd go for the Bose not because LG isn't a good product but because with Bose you know it will do justice to your music collection and life is way too short to listen to uneven sound waves.

I have to say and I'm not being racist here, I just can't stand Chinese or Korean products.
