Good advice there..

Drive more, talk less.

Pill was being sarcastic and mocking the troll.

Apparently that's lost on a few people here.

My mistake then.

I didnt notice it was sarcasm.

What is lost is precious moments of my life reading such BS from two people making sarcastic comments on an internet forum. Rant over.

That's a great line, N3.

Sounds like some prose worthy of Ben Franklin. Updated for the 21st century, of course.

Im sorry. But can that guy get any more pathetic and fanboyish'.. Hell, one could argue im even more pathetic to give a damn.. But still. Why do those ford guys put up with him? I really cant understand it. It's mind boggling they want to associate themselves with that kindda guy. I guess one could say it says a lot about them too. But still?

He really should look into the mirror sometimes.

Not trying to stir up any emotions on this topic, but here are three links regarding this. I thought poison pill was bulls***ting about the Z28 comment... To state that the SS and Z28 are purposely named after Nazi Germany is pretty infantile.

Yes, Henry Ford was a notorious anti-semite. He even owned a newspaper in Michigan when Ford Motor Co. was in its infancy that featured editorials about his anti-Jewish opinions.

Read through a bunch of that today while cooking dinner. Funny and sad at the same time. Favorite was that the curb weights were lies because the as tested weights were higher on the ATS. Well no kidding, the advertised curb weights are base cars with no options and those cars don't get sent for magazine tests. Lol

Sarcasm or not, the whole Z28 is stupid. The word for destroyer in German is Zerstörer and 28 refers to number of the ship, hence Z28. It would be to same to make a reference that Bono named U2 after a German U-boat, which there was U-2. Or that the CIA named the Lockheed spy plane U-2 after it.

Nicely put...Just to make sure if anybody on this forum doesn't know...Chevrolet performance vehicles start with the letter "Z" because of Zora Arkus-Duntov...The creator of the Corvette.
