I don't need your brand of 'humor'. I was thrilled to get my first BMW. Now I understand why people think BMW owners are snobs. I almost hope it gets stolen so I can buy a freaking Ford.

I got text from pnoy about this thread, so i had to remove that squeggy fella off the ignore list, to see the next level of low he had achieved...


I am totally for the freedom of speech but I am against personal insults...

As I am reading the by-laws of this forum, it seems that unwarranted foul language that is directed towards other fellow member as personal insults maybe grounds for suspension off the site...

Are there moderators out there watching these threads?

My vote to boot him off - +1

I agree, a car is just a car...

I don't need you help to fix it if something goes wrong.
I didn't offer any car help, personally; I just suggested that the 'help'/advice offered was cogent, and that you might calm down, response-wise. Guess that advice was rejected by you.

My sense of humor is fine, as is my respect for those that deserve it... Put yourself in my shoes and read the thread again. You have some very UNCOOL people here. I don't need your brand of 'humor'.

Nice talk...you are poking at and offensive toward every poster that responded to you.

I tried to defend and help you earlier squig. Dissing the regs is a big no no here

[Naz24]

I suggest either a forum wide apology ( which it might be too late) or just leave peacefully. We are good people here. Like I mentioned, I know many members on a personal level. We're all friends, we go out together, we drink together, we meet up. You won't win this battle.

Dude you have a serious issue.

1. Ur question was pretty lame, but people were still prepared to help you
2. U sound like a numpty, who buys a car, a nice car, in red, then says "o no I live in a bad neighbourhood how do I keep it safe?"
3. Despite your idiocity people still suggested ideas to you, you then start insulting people.
4. Do you really live in a rough neighbourhood? U sound like a sissy which is probably why you are cackIng it regarding your motor.

Your on a forum with alot of members with different personalities and humours. Deal with it or go buy a shtty ford. Super loser.

Nazario, at this point I'm just asking can he be a positive contributor to our forum community?

however, as the tally stands now, in 34 posts you have managed to alienate a few folks on this board... there are very valuable female members on this board that can show of some serious skills that you have not even dreamt of - and you instantly offended them in short line...

So, maybe, you should stay in your neighborhood, and not move anywhere...

i am unsubsribing from this thread and putting you on ignore - i am sure there are plenty of people here that still will help you out, should you need help...

ciao

Like the Terminator "I'm outta here" and I won't be "Back".

I joined the board about the same day you did Squiggy.

I read your topics and wonder about the man behind the posts.

Exhibit A: Safe RPM's? Is this the first experience with a tachometer in a vehicle? I realize that you only want to take care of your vehicle but the way you ask is interesting to me. I come from a drag racing and classic car background so it sounded silly to me. The redline is the maximum safe engine speed, it's an automatic so you really can't screw this one up.

Exhibit B: Car only came with one key? Now this is a good question with reasonable concerns. Great topic to start and ask questions about. Seems like the thread got some good answers too, to be honest I didn't post or read because I don't care about one key.

Exhibit C: Odd Comments thread... The comments the audio guys said are actually very true. The speakers are designed for the car and a bitch to replace..... nothing weird there.
Coffee Girl liked the Red X5 but wouldn't buy one? Yea, because she is a Barista, and she probably lives in a shitty neighborhood. I see the comments that these people in your real world as normal. The fact that you find them odd is leading me to question your personality. Not to say anything in a negative way but in the real world I don't think I'd be your friend.

Summary: I've found the guys on this board to be a mix of informative, hilarious, dousche-baggyish, cocky, helpful, encouraging, proud, basically all of the same type of people I find in my real world life.

Squiggy, I believe you to be the type of person who supports giving participation ribbons to all kids and not awarding a winner because it isn't fair. That is my opinion from reading and interacting for the last two days. Within two days of joining this site I have had a conversation with a local member who I would meet up with and have a beer and compare rides, just because we share a common interest. You are too scared to even tell people what town you live in. I have interpreted a weak presence from your posts and assume that you work in a clerical position, probably sales support or requisition ordering for probably the last 15-ish years where you have no chance of advancement. I'm thinking that you are in a position daily where you have no power to make decisions, this makes you feel unimportant thus when you purchased your Imola X5 you were making the statement, you desperately wanted people to see you and think that you were more important than you were. You always park in front of the door and look back at your X constantly when you're entering any establishment such as a starbucks so that everyone inside notices you and connects you with your ride because you feel it exudes a declaration of status.

I'm sure that since I have begun to type this there has been at least one more page with you attacking people back... Did you know that you can multi-quote responses so you don't have to reply back to each post individually?

To the other members who have participated in this post either positively or negatively I neither agree or disagree, I do not pass judgement on anyone and could be completely incorrect in my above assessment. I will not apologize for speaking my beliefs and reinforce that this is my opinion, not a fact.

Final comment, "It is not what people call you but what you answer to."

This thread is a complete joke and so is Squaggy. Get over it and thicken up the skin.

Get a dashcam and leave it running? i do when i park outside, the flashing light that says recording can scare off some people
