I dont wear pumas because I dont want to look like an aerodynamic fagwagon.

I say no big deal, it's just a shirt/hat/keychain. The badge thing is ridiculous though. For 99% of people, a shirt/hat/shoe is the closest they will ever get to owning one of those cars.

you say no big deal?


imagine that on a 1 series key?

That doesn't even make sense why someone would do that, unless the previously owned a 6 series or also has one..

I personally think it would be dumb if someone was wearing car brand clothes, but I wouldn't really give it much thought

I've seen it done though more than once
one guy had it on his 3 series and another guy had a Toyota Rav 4.. go figure :/

and if he owns a 6, then why not put it on his 6's key?

A guy in a honda or bmw wearing a ferrari shirt isnt the same as a guy in a bmw wearing a audi shirt. bmw and audi are direct competitors and the guy chose between the two cars. comparing bmw and audi would be like a guy in a lamborghini wearing a ferrari shirt... either way i dont really care, people can wear what ever they want.

It's not strictly necessary to post every stupid thought you have. I'm only mentioning this because you post so frequently.

Out of all the threads in the OT you could shed your insight on, you chose this one. This thread had disaster written all over it beginning with the original post.

I was going to comment on the fact that wearing your sports teams merchandise is a bit different than wearing a motor-sports company's apparel. I would assume (i might be completely off) that most wear Ferarri apparel because they like Ferarri's and think they are cool. So following that logic, they think if they wear something with the logo they are cool/elite themselves. I don't believe they are consciously trying to show their allegiance to Ferarri in anyway. Not in the way I am when I wear my Giants/Mets hat, for example. Not trying to say it is a fact, just how I see it.

Jay has been full of sour comments lately. The positive reinforcement he gets from some other posters will only fuel his cynicism.

OP, you are clearly miffed by people undermining your sense of superiority by wearing luxury-branded merch. how is everyone going to know that you are the real deal now that any old guy off the street can buy a shirt with a lux brand logo on it?

i guess they'll just have to judge you by your character now.

[McMuffin]

I don't see anything wrong with someone wearing those ugly ass shoes!

Also, your sig annoys the fack out of me!

But I much rather put my stupid thoughts to good use in OT while applying the rest of my thoughts to things that require them.

As for that, I've been rather disappointed with the forum as of late. This place used to be full of decently smart, interesting people, creating interesting threads about information pertinent to our cars. I used to be able to go to the general section and give a little advice to a new guy or help somebody solve a problem. The tuner section was full of people testing new stuff and giving us great information about our cars and what we can do with them. Cosmetics consisted of more than everybody wanting to know how much carbon fiber fabric it will take to wrap their entire car and rims or how come my ddm hid kit flickers when I turn it on? General is full of nothing but "Hi, I joined the forum today to fucken whine about my car that I took out a loan on that I cant afford. I drove straight into a tree last night but I sware it was because my RFTs were tramlining and I just didn't have the strength to turn my car due to BMWs heavy steering. Now BMW wont fix it under warranty service. Should I sue?". Every thread in the tuner section is "Who has the new cobb flash? And every reply consists of "why go flash? I just teabagged shiv last night and he told me hes going to mail me 15hp!".


So that pretty much relegates me to this portion of the forum. Which I'd say there are a handful of threads I enjoy participating in. This just happens to not be one of them. As you said, this had failure written on it from the beginning, as do all similar opinion threads of a stupid nature.

So yes, I've been a little sour lately when it comes to posting.

This is all true. I never go into FI anymore. It used to be the only section I ever posted in/read. Now I only come into OT and some regional. X6 forums are even worse than the general forums here. People asking questions like, "Has anyone tried to install their JB+ on their 50i? Do you think it will work?"

I come for a laugh, to discuss sports, and sometimes to pass along my incredibly flawed opinion. But that is what forums are about, no? A gathering of people from all over sharing their thoughts/opinions on whatever topic they stumble upon.

I will take your X6 forum and raise you an X3 forum. Actual quote:

"Can I install a blow off Valve into my Bmw X3 AFE cold air intake system. Is there any differences, and what does this do ?"

This is true. I'm working on it. Lots of stress with school lately. What looked like a few weeks to prepare for finals has turned into a few weeks to get a paper together in an attempt for publication. Its a shit ton of work thats really going to take away from study time and I'm pretty sour about it because it couldn't come at a worse time. Oh well.

I want a Ferrari condom, especially if it helps with hooking up with some F1 umbrella girls

But on topic I have a Ferrari shirt, can't afford the car, because my daughter bought it for me while in Italy. I don't wear it much because it's not cut to the fat ass American body I have!!
