I'm 99% sure I meant to quote the message you were quoting :fullretard:
I'm sure I'll feel better tomorrow :eeyore:. To be honest, I don't know where the cayman subject came from as I never really mentioned toying with a used cayman idea.
Ignore me I’m just a :fullretard: :fullretard: :fullretard: who cant hit the right button.

First off what ignore? Is it because i took an eternity to reply? Or perhaps I didn't keep up with the subject of the reply? Im not on the dfd all the time as I used to be and since when did i call you a retard? I wasn't even playing games or somewhere along the lines, unless I actually didn't notice it. Theres no need to get worked up as I already deal with lot of :bs: already outside of this forum alone. You can call me all the names you want its really the least of the things i worry about compared to what :bs: Ive been dealing with for the past 2 months. Ok? Stop being like a child, you seem to be a good, more matured young-er man from what I can tell.

A little elaboration shouldn't be too hard.

Woah woah pause dude. Chill out.

We were talking about cars. I quoted you in the discussion instead of someone else. I’m calling myself “full retard” jokingly because I totally offrailed the conversation with my mistake. Therefore, I’m asking you to ignore me and my mistake and carry on.

You didn’t call me a retard. I’m not SAYING you called me a retard. I’m not worked up.

Did I call you a name? Absolutely not.

Now I might worked up now that you’re calling me a child. Fuck off with that nonsense, calm down, and quit making assumptions. I’m not a child. I’m a working professional who’s about to be married.

I get that you’re stressed about other things, but don’t go taking it out on a car forum. We’re dumbasses talking about cars to get AWAY from stressful real life.

Anyways, that WRX DS is atrocious. That feels like it belongs in a Mitsubishi Mirage povertymobile.

I guess i should be the one apologizing at this point, and you're definitely right, esp the last part. That reply seems kinda triggered to me, but hard to tell via text. Also congrats on the marriage.

Also I have got on the dfd to blew off some steam as well, by that i mean distraction from it. That didn't seem to be enough then :ohwell:

Dude, he was calling himself :fullretard: ... chill out :lolol: He is a good dude.

This was nothing but a miscommunication of Cayman versus GTI nonsense, let's not get our panties in a bunch.

I have regretted that though definitely misunderstood at first, I knew he was a good dude to begin with.

Dang, $28K! :impressive:

It seems like good tires and headlights maybe are worth the extra $2500.

Yeah, seems like a no brainer to me. It's eligible for Subaru VIP pricing too :heavybreathing:

That brings the limited down from $31,455 to $29,283. Then you have to add tax and everything, but if the S2000 can fetch $25k? Seems like a no brainer.

Savagegeese had the new 86 putting down 205+ at the wheels on the Dyno. That's a significant bump over the last one.

Seriously. It's really hard to find fault with it. :amazing: that it exists today at the pricepoint.

:dis:

Only thing I'm slightly :disappoint: about is just how small the back seat really is. Most people will by NFG about that and I don't for a second wish for them to make the car bigger and heavier in the name of backseat space, but I want to share the fun with my kiddos and something like a 2 series has a way more usable back seat even for a toddler or two in boosters.

Yeah the backseat is definitely rough... it's nice storage but I can't imagine it working for any humans. It makes a Mustang back seat seem legitimate.

I sat in the back of mine once just to try it. Technically possible but definitely a lot smaller than the RX8 or a mustang inside. Kids without car seats should be fine :doe:

I picked up my friend and his now wife, when they were drunk, with my BRZ once. He's 6'3", 240 lbs, and she's probably 5'4"? He had to move his seat all the way forward, and tilt his head because it was against the roof. She was jammed back there.

Not comfortable, but got them home safe. It would work for small kids without a car seat. But doesn't the law require kids to be in car seats of some sort until they're basically adults or something crazy now?

Probably. And that rear seat cushion is so sloped I don't know how you'd put a booster back there anyway.
