What's up with all the trash talk?

As I have always said:

To each his own.

We all do the things we do for different reasons. That is our choice. So why is there a need for criticism here?

You have an appreciation for automobiles as do all of us. What we choose to do with them is our choice. It is a hobby that can be taken to any extent that we care to.

Street racing is done for the fun of it. Above all, that is the main reason why we do it. Coming out with the victory is just icing on the cake and I think we can all agree on that. I would venture to say that most of us turn most of our own wrenches on our cars. With this in mind we have a greater appreciation for our work and our investment. You are happy with your car and it's performance, that is great. However, some of us strive for a little bit more and that's our choice. So what is wrong with this?

Nobody likes a sore loser and what's worse is a sore winner. However, both are out there, that's just a part of it. We just have to blow it off and move on.

I always appreciate the experiences our members share here. 99.9% of them are done so with excellent taste. Seems there is always a "thumbs up" to the winner OR loser. What's more is their willingness to post their losses right along with their victories, again, all in excellent taste. Is this an attribute of a trash talker?? I think not.

I dont see a lot of trash talking here so I am a bit unsure of how you can justify some of your remarks with respect to the members here at Mustang Works. Sure, there are always an exception to every rule but look at the big picture.

Also, most of us DID start out with slow cars, we've seen both sides of the coin which contributes to an even greater appreciation for our cars.

Again, to each his own.
