Egos/heads getting too big?

It's nice that some people are trying different things on the Maxima, but why be so arrogant and c0cky about it? They talk like their crap don't stink, but do they REALLY know what they're talking about? Go ahead an regurgitate information. That makes you look smart in front of some, but others can see through it.

Yeah, you can throw down money into a car, but does that make you an enthusiast because you got the $bling$ $bling$? Being a snob will not get you anywhere in THIS community... and life. Remember that.



Edit: No, I am NOT talking about Ron (i30kcrab). Some people have asked, so I wanted to make this clear.

Because you have done very little compared to others.

They talk like their crap don't stink, but do they REALLY know what they're talking about?


No. Otherwise, they wouldn't have to speak, and simply produce a URL, website, and posts here that show their knowledge and what they themselves have accomplished.

I'm actually surprised such wannabe's are capable of using the search function and actually putting some partially factual stuff down. However, there is a differences between using the search function and doing research via the search function.

Go ahead an regurgitate information. That makes you look smart in front of some, but others can see through it.


Search can make people appear quite knowledgeable. Thank goodness not enough people use it so that there aren't even more know-it-alls.

Yeah, you can throw down money into a car, but does that make you an enthusiast because you got the $bling$ $bling$?


Does this make you the pot or the kettle?

Being a snob will not get you anywhere in THIS community... and life. Remember that.

I thought those sentiments were implied in any kind of specialist group known to man...


Just as that's implied, is the prediction of the responses...
a) people who the post is directed at - either don't care or juicy bait for good old internet flame wars. Or an automatic head nod as an attempt to "sneak by" as a member of the group.

b) other people - agree and/or postwhore


I always thought the elite members of a specialist group would laugh at and shrug off any...well, poser. Not often you see one of them get bent out of shape about something.

Waiting on people like IceY2K1, Keving, and others full of oil analysis promises but no bling-bling. I'll probably update it in a few days regardless.

Nope, it has nothing to do with MOTM. You guys have to live with that choice. Threw a curveball and you guys were surprised, huh?

I'm not mad, upset, or bent out of shape. It's just that some people need a reality check once in a while even if this is the Internet.

Not everyone is on the same page as you. People come here to share experiences of their reality/experiences so they do takes things very seriously. Some act the same as they do in real life.

... but we all know Sprint is a little puppy if you meet him in person (not the Internet thug he poses as).
