Always amazed at stupidity
Maybe it's because I'm 53, ex-military (Desert Storm), ex-federal agent, and ex owner of a 2008 EVO VII (The original and the best) and a ex owner 2004 Cobra Terminator that I get so tired of reading dribble across forums. There is something special about buying the car *YOU* want that makes *YOU* feel good every time you look at it, drive it, and ****, look at a picture of it. I am the proud own of 2 TWO 2015 Ford Fusions Titainums and when my youngest son care blew out, it was a perfect excuse to get another car. When I saw the new 2017 Sport, well, it was LOVE.
So when I have to sit and read all about how the car is not up to *insert your name here* standards, I gotta ask why the **** you are on this forum. There are plenty of *I feel OK by making others feel NOT OK* forums, move that mouse and get on it. I joined this forum to talk with others about a car that just makes me feel good! Sure, I'm having fun looking at the stats and comparing the torque of 380lbs to a Ferrari. But, *checks pockets*, I'm guessing I'm in good company when I say the Lord has blessed me plenty and I'm not going to ever own a Ferrari.
When I traded in my EVO on the Cobra it was pushing 375HP and 350lbs of Torque to the wheels! I'll let you do the math. I was running low 11's in the quarter and trapping, on good nights, very close to the bikes. Then, when I was tired of hurting for a day after driving the EVO hard I decided to go BIG. I have no idea how much HP the Terminator had but there was nothing I loved better than chasing down V12's and then waving as I went by on the open freeway. And, yes, OMG the sound gave me a woody. But my leg (busted up knee) got so bad I couldn't push the clutch and getting 8mpg was getting old. So I decided I was out of the game and just wanted to coast home in my golden years.
But, with MY FS I'm back, and better than ever. It looks incredible, it feels incredible, and it will go JUST FINE. I have no plans to take it to the track, slap on a fast spooling turbo or put led ground lights on it. But, I'm already enjoying having a *little lead in my pencil* and I'm looking forward to many years of fun. I also look forward to reading stories of others like me that are finding ways to enjoy this awesome car and even some that push the envelope on this car, which I think is going to happen. I've seen some F150's that just flat out scare me!
So, move on lads, some of us are here to enjoy life!
