Just to set the record straight for people like booradley and bad30th, I am not actually against domestics and v8's. I actually like all performance cars, as long as they perform. I don't expect an integra to have the power of a mustang, and I don't expect a mustang to handle as well as an integra. but there is a type of writing called satire, which I do employ in my posts occasionally. It is usually directed against people who make snide comments and digs for no reason. People like ashton. Allow me to quote from his first post:


Besides, just about any Camaro, Trans Am or Mustang with a V8 can whip a modified import STOCK!

Rice-A-Roni The American V8's Favorite Treat!

No one else had made any claim about one type of car being better than another, until ashton came along. Ashton made this comment where no one else had been aggresively obnoxious, so I proceeded to cut him down. Apparently some people got confused about my satire. I regret any inconvenience this may have caused.
BTW, here is the definition of satire, from wordnet 2.0:

1. sarcasm, irony, satire, caustic remark -- (witty language used to convey insults or scorn; "he used sarcasm to upset his opponent"; "irony is wasted on the stupid"; "Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody's face but their own"--Johathan Swift)

Here is an example of satire, as previously posted by me.

Bad30th, of course you have worked on thousands of those cars. Just walk down the street, you'll see them scattered all over the place. Just use your nose and sniff for the oil leaks and burned up engines. Sometimes I spend all day driving around their decrepit bodies, dodging bits of rust that they have strewn across the roadway like autumn leaves. Junkyard parts abound, because thats what they are; junkyards.
