No company is perfect. People will always find something to complain about. And if they don't, then they're a fanboi. You can't win. As long as you're mostly happy, that's all you can ask for.

Yes the 302 comes with 19x9 and 19x9.5 Pirelli P-zero, and the Laguna Seca has 19x9 and 19x10 R-compounds.

Tires alone do not a good sports car make, but they help. The chassis is super stiff and the shocks are tuned for sport driving. Ford put more effort into making this a track day killer than any other street legal car they have ever sold. I don't even think the Ford GT (GT40 remake) had as much tuning as the BOSS did.

Yeah but it's the one feature he's saying is a gimmick. One small thing. That's far from saying BMW is shit and their cars suck.

It's more like working at Proctor and Gamble and saying you didn't like this one paragraph they wrote on the back of the Tide bottle. Who cares?

Z3guy, you take things way too seriously.

Everybody, and I mean everybody, behaves differently online from how they do in real life or at work. People laugh at others tasteless jokes, comment on sick & twisted or pornographic NWS videos, and have discussions (often very heated) about all sorts of topics. It's kind of a way to vent in a manner you couldn't really do in your "real" life.

Most people get this, but a few don't (like those who think they have to track someone down and knock them out for something they said online). Are you a tattletale at work who's always watching what other workers say so you can "report" them? Probably not. But if someone from your work read your posts in this thread they might think so.

So who is the real you? The person defined by what they post in a forum or is it someone else?

That's why I use my real name. I don't type anything that I wouldn't say to anyone's face.

Personally I think this topic is starting to go off on an unpleasant tangent and I'd like to see it staying focused on topic: the Boss, because it does deserve the attention.
