The moral of the sarcasm in my post was to NOT poke fun at some stereotype. There are a few different kinds of people here with different ideas, traditions, etc., etc.

Some here just like to sling mud at stereotypes. I see no reason for it, but each one will do as he/she wants. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'm not slinging mud at sterotypes, I'm slinging mud at wasting money. There's a big difference between a Civic that has some quality performance parts put on it, and is a mean performer on the track, and a Civic with a two foot tall stainless steel wing that weighs a hundred pounds, and detracts from performance, or putting vinyl stickers of high performance racing parts on your car, while not actually USING those parts anywhere on it.



It's the car equivalent of mall ninja, and whether you think it's a stupid sterotype or not, I think it's just stupid. Just like I think it's stupid to spend 200 bucks on that dork ops crap. It's a free country, and I'm just as free to think people are wasting their money as they are to waste it.


It's no different than the kids when I was in high school, who would buy a beat up old Nova and put "summit racing" stickers and a fake plastic hood scoop on their cars because they thought it made them look cool. At least back then the goofy useless accessories were cheap.

I can only speak for myself, but I prefer a sleeper over something that is all show and no go. That goes for the cars that I drive and the knives that I carry. I would rather put my money toward performance rather than a bunch of useless doohickies.

Spider-Pig, I agree with what you're saying and "speaking of all show and no go..." Here's a local racing legend.

I'm sorry guys, I had to do it.


Inside each knife is a new adventure waiting to be had...maybe some blood and probably some suture.

Dark OOPS stuff cracks me up. I remember looking at one and laughing to myself because the seller was trying to lay the sales pitch on thick. No thank you.

DB, awesome pics and test.

And to the car debate, funny is all I have to say. A friend of mine in hs had a couple of cars that were sleepers--one was an old Malibu that looked like a granny car but would tear it up on the street and track. Classic looks on the faces of the rich kids and their store bought cars when they got dusted!

I apologize. We are from different places. I'm just not into ranting about every little thing that some do. It's a pretty laid back attitude here and not very 'in your face' in person. The internet and typed words 'seem' very 'in your face' even when not meant that way. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Anyway...

Just a reminder guys... "9. No slamming/bad mouthing other forums or products."
It looks like it could go down this rode sometime soon.
haha! It is tempting.

Didn't someone cut a kabar in half with a Busse? I could be mistaken, but I think it was posted on BF.

Yes... it was an SFNO. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I'm not sure about BF, but I remember talking on the phone with a customer who got the story first hand from the guy who did it.

I think I'll just stick to cutting other stuff and leave the knife cutting knife to someone else... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />
