Well, I don't know how all this got started, but I will have to say, that even if you didn't do many performance mods, Schroedes, it's still nice. Who doesn't want a nice looking car to go with performance? It's the ultimate dream to have a Magazine Cover type car.
The Comp-G is a great car, however, my personal opinion, I actually like the 97-03 body style better, but that's my opinion and I can't really control what my mind likes. I do know my particular GP has only 1500 made, and I know of at least 50+ that have been wrecked or parted out.
I have only done performance mods for the most part. I haven't done hardly any aesthetics, however, when I buy my mods, such as my BMR trailing arms, I specifically got the red ones because they looked better.
Scroedes, you can take this as you please, and this goes out to the rest of everyone arguing here, but it is all useless. Opinions matter, but man do they cause some serious problems. It's so crazy that people argue over something they can't control.
I think there is a level where you take it too far, and I think many of you have past that level. When it becomes a shouting match, no one is going to listen, whether the facts are correct or not. Who here has tried to correct their mother when she was wrong? How does it end up? She yells at you and tells you "because I said so." If you keep arguing she will just run off in an angry mood or put you in a miserable mood, when in reality, deep down, she knows she's wrong, and it's just not worth proving to the point you make someone feel so much worse about it.
Schroedes, you mentioned something about that when you asked for advice on the site, they gave you it, you took it, and they bashed you for it. While I haven't seen any of the threads where you discussed what to do, I do agree with you that everyone here wants some nice HIDs and a nice CAI if they don't already have one.
Schroedes, I don't think deep down you're a jerk, I just don't think you or anyone else on this forum knows how to constructively criticize a person or situation. I was a hot head in high school. I played sports, and had good size and strength on me. I wasn't the biggest, but I had a level of authority if I wanted, and I used it. I didn't realize how it was making me look in the eyes of others, and usually I wouldn't care what it looked like, but this case is different. Surprisingly, I discovered and repaired this problem of mine in English 102, my second semester of college. I had just turned 19 and took a lot from that class. Learning to debate with others without causing a full all out argument has done amazing wonders I can't even describe. I rarely argue with my Fiance. Literally, the other day was the first time we argued in over 3 months! And it wasn't a shouting match. It was a heated discussion so to say, but a little more mild.
If you can cut down arguing with your significant other to only 3-4 times a year, I think it's going to be very successful. It also helps I'm very trusting, faithful, and not jealous, as she is the same way. We've been together 8 years now, and were high school sweethearts. Sounds crazy that I'm only 25, and probably shouldn't have any knowledge worth listening to, but I truly feel I'm doing something right.
Take all of this how you want it, but I hope many of you look into trying to find other ways to sort out your matters. I also wish people would look into the difference between opinions and facts. The Tom Brady vs Peyton Manning discussion. Who is better? It's personal opinion because there are so many variables when it comes to statistics that it's impossible to put an answer on it. Newton's 3 Laws of motion, however, are facts, and there is no arguing them otherwise. Technically, gravity is only a theory, as well as how the striated muscles in our body work. They can, to an extent, be argued otherwise.
Am I rambling nonsense????
