I also congratulated him on his maturity.. I then showed him some photos of my hood.. I befriended him because he showed me character... I also got him off the notion of cutting a hole in a hood. I also got him focused on trying to see what type of injection boost he wanted to use. The OP and I are on the same page now.. its just you two mindless children who think you can get into my pants, who have fouled this thread. But its ok, I have seen thousands of your type here on this forum. Your lack of respect also shows your character. BTW your posts, the two of you added nothing positive to the OP's thread.

Anyway, i do like your hood, I LOVED the tigershark hood but i dont like how far up the dip in the hood is compared to yours.

Yes it is a MCM hood.

yea I'd really rather not "get into your pants"
But I said what I had too. age is irrelevant to what hood he wants.glad you pointed him in the right direction.

You were baiting for an argument, that's why you were surprised by his reaction. You could of said it in a less condescending and provoking manner. There is always someone azzhat on these forums that come in here thinking they know everything and own the forums. Like you are the only one on here with a valid opinion.

No wonder all of your friends are on the internet!

Incredible! You have been here 3 months and a couple of hundred crappy posts and talk moranic chitt about a GM engineer who has helped thousands upon thousands of members here for the past 10+ years(he actually helped develope the C5)...what a tool you are...Bill knows what the heck he is talking about...compared to you, he does know everything
