Does anyone have a picture. I fall into the "most people" category.

Good thing or your name wouldn't make much sense.

I did not declare what I was saying as a whine, I was just saying that it is something else to whine about.

Geez, I guess you can't make a post here without being attacked either

Lighten up... it wasn't an attack. Just some fun. But, now, you may have whined.... What do you think, Skuzzy?

Come on now. Lighten up??? The intent of the smiley was to imply that I was joking. I am just having fun too.

LOL, yeah I noticed the smiley face after I typed. But, since I already typed, I decided not to waste it.

Either a brilliant sideways sort of cut or an honest gesture of appreciation. Whatever it was,..it certainly was good. I have to respect that, for sure.

Hehe. Looks like 1chaos caught some with that stinky bait. It has a long way to go before it can be called a good whine. But it is a start.

[quote=Skuzzy;1562611]Well, I have little patience/tolerance for those who simply do not add anything constructive to threads. And he is pretty consistent about it.

Surfblue replies: Coming from you, I'll take that as a compliment. You only have to LOOK AROUND this forum a bit to know that there's NO PROBLEM. It was discussed long ago. And I can assure you that if the drops I slammed through at 80+ on the cement portions of Hwy 80 West out of Dixon a couple Saturdays back didn't cause mushrooming on my 07 MCS with 16's and sport suspension, it's highly unlikely to ever be a problem. And don't say I didn't add something constructive, because I told you to QUIT

Also, I am not worrying, I was seeking informed advice as to whether or not it would likely be a problem. I turst you would not be happy to receive a post such as yours, should you have a question/concern.
Surfblue says: THANKS. I'LL CONSIDER THAT A COMPLIMENT.
