You didn't mod your car unless it mean't more speed. I have had my run in's with the civic's with a fart can and four hundred pound's of body kit added and I always laughed at them. I never attacked anyone for the car they drove though and it makes me wonder why I have given as much of my life to serve my country so I can protect the freedoms ignorant people like you seem to fluant everyday. You had no reason to go after CupCake like that and if you don't like what she doe's with her car than don't read her posts. When I chose to spend 18 months in Kuwait and Iraq I did it for the people like CupCake who are expressing their individuality not for some guy who has nothing better to do with his life then down others. And you want to talk about ricers look at you a 2006 nissan titan, please I have a 95 Ford F-150 basic two wheel drive 5.0 I pulled 9,000 pound tow weight 1200 miles from Chicago to Savanah GA and went the back roads through the mountains in GA and not a problem. Lets see your nissan do a comparable trip NOT!! I mean you and no-one any disrepect, I just think you go to far sometimes and you need a little perspective.
Are you seriously calling somebody out on this board because they have an opinion? People are absolutely entitled to their own opinions, flexible or inflexible, intelligent or stupid as they may be. By the way, Mach 1 has spent his time in the military (possibly still there currently?), too, so you can get down off your high horse there. In addition, he's somewhere around your age, if I remember right.

Regardless, comparing a 1995 Ford F-150 5.0L with a 185hp @ 3800rpm and 270ft/lb @ 2400rpm to a 2006 Nissan Titan 5.6L 305hp @ 4900rpm 379lb/ft @ 3600rpm isn't really all that fair. The Nissan was actually designed to tow a load like that (9500lbs rated), where you were exceeding the manufacturers maximum rated towing capacity by probably 60-80%. Bottom line, the Nissan was designed to turn your epic towing adventure into a Sunday drive, well, somewhat.

Anyway, at this point you're pretty much calling the kettle black. Blasting Mach 1 for his opinions is right along the same lines as Mach 1 blasting CupCake for hers.

If you want to support a member in what they believe, feel free, but just know every time you "call somebody out," you run the risk of being a little embarrassed when your perceptions or arguments turn out to be inaccurate.
