I think you guys got the right answer.

OP, getting disturbed enough to start a thread over an totally irrelevant thing such as this, is something I'd expect from a 16 year old, not an adult!

Wait...you are an adult right?

You are correct, I guess I wasn't paying close enough attention to what I was typing.

Did you even read the thread. I CLEARLY said the original post was meant to be "Tongue In Cheek". I didn't think I'd even have to have a followup post to clarify that, but I guess in here you do. I guess a small part of me was annoyed for about 2 seconds, then I quickly laughed it off. I just thought it was a humorous view of a hater. If I'm annoyed at anyone, it's people like you that are accusing me of something I clearly clarified.

Wait...you can read, right?

I had a total stranger who was admiring my Vette at a gas station one day ask me if it had a V8. I jokingly told him that no, I got the 4 cylinder option. He laughed and said, "Yeah, two of them". Nice guy.

And I understand that now, the C7 will shut down to operate on 4 cylinders when cruising on the highway. Is this true? I know some other cars do as a gas-saving means.

I keep telling you guys, NPP doesn't sound all that great, but no one listens. In all seriousness though, sack up. This is not a big deal. The guy prefers Ferraris over Corvettes. I'm sure you'll sleep just fine tonight.

Also, avoid any fast foods and 99% of chain restaurants and restaurants in general. You'll live longer, look better, feel better, and won't have random people flinging insults like water balloons while idling at the drive-through.

What's wrong with you. Did you not see post #44?

The OP said...."I CLEARLY said the original post was meant to be "Tongue In Cheek."

Of course that was after nearly everyone thought the OP was ridiculous.

I love these forums. All in jest OP, all in jest!

Post #44 was the reminder that it was "tongue in cheek". I actually stated that way back in post #12.

Apparently, there are some forum members that understand sarcasm about as well as the character Sheldon on "The Big Bang Theory". In the future, I'll add my disclaimer on the original post.

That's how I look at it. Every day that goes by with my ex wife still living in Canada, is a great day . . . .

Oh boy, do I hear that!!!

A couple of weeks ago I was being chased be a cop, because I refused to pull over.

He finally cut me off, and forced me to stop.

He said..."why didn't you stop as soon as you saw me?"

I said, my wife ran off with a cop 3 years ago, and I thought it was you trying to return her.

Scared the chit outta me.

My best friend romanced my wife and she divorced me. Every year, on the anniversary on my divorce, I send him a thank you card.

EDIT: Apparently a few people on here don't read the whole thread. This original post was meant to be a "Tongue In Cheek" observation of a "probable" hater. At NO time did I ever have any thoughts of actually running the guy over. I just thought it was a goofy thing for someone to say. I really don't need any more members with no sense of humor informing me that I'm overreacting, or that there are bigger problems in the world.
Apparently it's Joe Dirt's Hemi or nothing

I thought your original post was funny, lighten up people.
