If your goal is to look special and different you nailed it. In my book it's just another mod and I hope it wasn't expensive.

Ddaaryl. I have to ask. Why are most of your posts negative? It’s just confusing. Why respond if your response is negative? We all have different taste and there’s nothing wrong with that. Mods are subjective. I’d really like to see this forum improve and everyone not be so critical of
others. Hey, ddaaryl let’s spread some positivity! Lighten up. Don’t be so grouchy. Let’s support other c5 owners!

If you can't figure out that simple statement there is no explaining it.

Supporting everything even when you don't like it, and it goes against normal trends, is like giving trophies to the losers.

The sad part of all this is, I agree with you about DDaaryls posts always being negative. That being said, there's a time and place for encouraging some negativity to steer in the right direction if that makes sense.

Who defines “normal trends”? You? The internet? Lol. If I say I hate black cars does that make me right? Wrong? “Against trends?” Like I said, taste is subjective. Cheers mate.

That's a good question in all honesty.

Trends are trends even if they have been diluted with the internet age.

That being said, I know you have things you don't like. If you said otherwise you'd be lying lol.

exactly. I have my own personal taste. But I don’t mock those on the internet that have different taste.
