What's up with all the trash talk?

[cleanLX]

Well, Mr. Quantum, it seems your opinion is being swayed. But I must add my own two cents.
I have been reading this list for nearly a year. My first impressions where as yours, however, before I mouthed off I decided to read for a while and get a feel for these guys. Look at their times, they are back to basics grass roots muscle car enthusiasts, who post out of utter glee and/or astonishment in their achievements.
If you care to stick around, and read what these guys’s have to say, you will undoubtedly pick up on a sense of camaraderie, which could only be replaced by personal relations.
As I say, I have been reading here for nearly a year, and having learned what these guys are about, finally decided to post a situation I found myself in. Unfortunately I had to tell the truth, as these guy’s always seem to do, and it was about being beat by a Honda of some sort, maybe an Accura, how the heck you spell it I’m not sure. They all responded with ha ha’s, Great story etc, and on guy even balled up to say “you probably made his day” That does not sound like a bunch of gloat-miesters to me.
Racing is a sport, and I for one do not know of anybody that takes part in a sport with intentions of loosing. Having said that, winning at a sport often means you enjoy recounting the moment with people who share a similar interest. I sure hope you feel differently when Dan Marino, Micheal Jordan, Wayne Gretkzy, Cal Ripken, Lance Armstrong etc, share great moments in their careers on national broadcast mediums.
This is a mustang owners/enthusiasts board where sharing such events takes place. It’s not like we are on some Honda board mouthing off and stirring it up, that I would consider un-sportsman like and trash talk.
No offense to Honda owners, they build some great vehicles. I choose rear wheel drive, and the only one Honda makes, quite frankly, I doubt I’ll ever be able justify the sticker price.

Have a happy new year all…
