Mike you can drive my car if you really wanted to haha...

 

Mine is all show and no go.

 

see, now there's a silver lining!

forget that chick dude. mod that car and come out racing. it's the best therapy there is.

 

So Jeremy any more details on the time trial and auto-x next year? I can't wait!

I truly hope Eric isn't selling the car because of this forum. I'm sure that car has a ton of potential especially if Mike built it. To give up on it this early is craziness in my eyes.

 

Mike, you are more than welcome to drive my car too if you would like. I would enjoy watching you drive the car you slaved over for weeks.

 

i'll race anyone.

i doubt me and my 3 mods will win, but i will race anyone.

 

Lol

I bet I could put together a race!

 

it's not really a race if you spend the whole day lapping people.

 

ok, let's bring this back a little here. getting angry and calling d-bags isn't going to do any good. i doubt anyone here is messing with your CL posts.

now i want to state very clearly that i'm not trying to start a fight here or instigate you. so take this post for what it's worth. if you decide to get angry about it or whatever that's your choice. i will just ignore it.

now i'm sure right now you're feeling a bit persecuted and more than a little angry. after a few years of posting here what i have noticed is that this thread and its inhabitants do not readily tolerate a person when they feel that individual is lying, misrepresenting themselves, or talking down to the regulars.

i don't want to get accusatory, i don't want to instigate things anymore than i already have, but the perception here eric is that you have done all of those things.

i don't think anyone in this thread is going to look up to you for no reason, especially if you present yourself as expecting that kind of revelry. the respect here needs to be earned. i know it can seem impossible at times, but i assure you if you just relax and be yourself people will respect that and acceptance won't be far behind. i have a feeling that the Eric Morse we've seen isn't the regular Eric Morse, and i bet when you're not in defensive mode that you're actually an alright guy.

now why am i bothering to type all of this? because i want to extend a bit of an olive branch if you will. let's bury the hatchet and start over. i can't speak for anyone but myself, but for my part i would like to drop the past and make a fresh start. if you can commit to coming back with a more humble attitude, i will absolutely commit to not giving you unnecessary grief and dropping my attitude as well.

i'm sure you've got an amazing amount of knowledge and experience that our community could benefit from, and the regular member's of this thread have the same to offer you in different areas. however, you can't just show up and expect people to immediately fall down at your feet and give you their undivided respect. this is something that has to be earned by talking with people, helping them with their problems, contributing knowledge, and coming in with an open mind and agreeable disposition.

so from me to you, let's both drop our attitudes, forget the past, and make a new pass at this. if we can all commit to being more civil and a bit more humble i think things will be a lot more pleasurable here for everyone involved.

as a token of good will, i am changing my avatar and my signature.

if you don't want any part of this, or your opinion of me is too far gone to attempt a reconciliation, please just ignore this post. i don't want to be drawn in to another pointless argument.

cheers.

 

Good effort there Mondo. Regardless. I mean really the thread's fallen so far away from the original purpose a la 2005 it'd be good to get it back on some sort of even keel. I don't want to count how many times I posted "When's the Local Pittsburgh Meet" this year and only got interest from the old guard anyway.

 

Ichiban is amazing lol. Never disappointed no matter what I order.

 

So whens the next Local Pittsburgh Meet?

 

I will be there. I really want to finally meet most of you, and I just got the car back today. Lets get a good turn out for a meet before the weather gets really ****ty!

 

Anyone remember when we used to have them? Weren't they Saturday's at 7pm?

 

That sounds like a decent time. Sonic meet or waterfront? Next week or do we need more of a notice?
