I gotta say you're giving age too much credit for wisdom. You think the TFP is a big accident? There's a reason this ego is as big as it is - I'm successful! Quick! Someone hit me with a little humility! So you're 21 years old - it's ok that you are who you are. I'm not asking you to be anything like me. I'm not comparing you to me either. I simply see the world through different eyes than you and I embrace that fact willingly; knowing that we may disagree at every step of the way, but at least it's not bitter discourse with vindictive agendas. Oh wait.. nevermind.

I'm just gonna keep sitting here with this stupid grin on my face until you realize that people are agreeing with me because I'm right. Come on.. it's ok to admit it. You even alluded to it yourself. You like the TL. Is it so hard to realize that other people do as well? They also agree to arguements based on their content and merit, not because they're afraid to disagree. Hell, I'm not forcing anyone to reply to this thread, yet they are; piping in with their 2 cents. Give up the crusade!

Furthermore, I like how you took exception to various things I said and applied them to yourself, even when I constantly noted that I wasn't blanketing everyone, but talking about the majority. You take every opportunity to step in front of the bullets when you know they are not aimed at you.

Anyways... 'going fast' means what? Breaking 170mph on a daily basis? Beating other cars in races? It's cool that your passion is going fast - it's mine too. That's why I got a car that can cream anything it meets on the freeway in traffic. It's max speed is about 165 mph and truthfully, I've never driven faster than 140mph in ANYTHING. How about you? Do you use all of your bird's power on a daily basis?

Back to the arguement... the TL is fast. It's not a street racing car, and who cares about the quarter mile in a SEDAN? When you put your foot to the pedal, you will be propelled forward at a satisfying pace, just like any other car with power. The differences in this area of performance are miniscule that to argue if a car is better or not, you are forced to look at the extras. You are forced to take into account the luxury accomodations and the reliability. That's the whole friggin' point. Sure, you even mentioned that you needed to tune your car to make it into what you wanted it to be - how about a car that is more like what you need it to be as it comes stock? Can you catch my drift?
