This is not about you agreeing with me, or anyone else. It's about you continuing to ignore FACTS. Repeatedly. Post after post after post.

You are entitled to whatever opinions you may have. I never called you an idiot for any opinion that you stated.

Example 1:

That para's car runs a high eleven second 1/4 mile, or makes almost 200 HP over stock, is not up for debate. It has. It does. Those are facts. You disputing them, or rather, continuing to ignore them, despite that it's well-known, documented, etc. opens the door for you to be called out as an idiot, mouth breathing troll.

Example 2:

Claiming that you can modify a RAV4 to outrun a tuned X1 for less money, again, is FACTUALLY incorrect. Talking out of your ass about things you know literally nothing about? Yes, that subjects you to name calling.

What "opinions" of yours have I even disagreed with? Besides me stating I think you're setting the bar low on what you consider "high performance", I actually don't think we're so different as far as things concerning the X1 (both new and old, the small role of the higher-output models, etc.)

Again, I think you need to revisit this thread again, and see what set people off.

By way of simplified example, when a guy says his car is red (the entire BMW community knows it's red, there are videos of it being red, etc.), and you make your next three posts stating that it's black...it's quite frustrating.

When someone asks you to address a point, and your reply includes a complete strawman argument no one was even remotely attempting to make, it's quite frustrating.

Do that 15 times, and it's down right maddening.

To start, as I said, the 135 is faster than the X1. But again, you don't read posts before replying.

But, yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. There's much more to a fun driving experience than straight line speed. No one has said anything else to the contrary.

A prime example of your repeated backpedaling. YOU made the comment about me allegedly never driving my car, vs. you who did. I informed you that I, in fact, drive mine more than you drive yours.

Instead of acting like an adult, an admitting your presumptuous misstatement, you're now back pedaling, claiming that driving far is a waste of time and money?

Really, cause in you last post, you were using (your incorrect assumption) that I don't drive the X1 a lot against me. Now, suddenly, you want the reverse to work in your favor?

Is that your attempt at mature conversation? You're like a child.

No apologies for the wife comments?

Not even going to acknowledge that was stepping way outside of me calling you an idiot for repeatedly ignoring facts/peoples' posts?

How about growing up, and being accountable for what you post? Read people's replies, and make honest efforts to respond to their thoughts.

If not, go the hell away.
