i think you're a bigger jerk than most on the BMW board, but i think that's the online persona you're trying for

Well, seeing

a - You're not Canadian
b - You don't live here
c - You have no clue about 95% of the issues of actually living here
d - You don't own a Focus
e - You hate Fords, or just about anything North American it seems
f - You fast stroke over BMWs making comparisons with cars 1/4 of their price

....you really don't have too much to offer here except for being the resident Eeyore.

But I have to admit a grim satisfaction being called a jerk by a snobbish idiot. Personally, I don't care what you drive. It's how you come across. On most of the other forums I belong to, you would be considered a troll.

Maybe it's how you want to project yourself as well. How I am here is how I am in real life as well. I'm one of the friendliest, generous guys that you'd meet -- but I have aboslutely ZERO tolerance for people that either act like tools or criticize the company I work for just for the sake of it. Hell, I'm the first to admit Ford's flaws, adding your own theory isn't worth the $.02. I have absolutely ZERO qualms about telling you or anyone else how I feel to their face, about any subject. Ask anyone that knows me.

All I know is that I've actually taken time and effort out of my busy life to:

a - help people - I've had numerous members (some that were strangers) over to my house to help them out.

b - gotten people discounts on their cars, parts or whatever.

c - imparted my experience or knowledge when I can.

And I ask for ZERO in return (save maybe "Hey, grab me a coffee on the way here, will ya?") Why? Because I don't need the money. Ford has been very good to me. It allows me to be good to other people, without having to put my hand out looking for payback.

So if it makes me a jerk standing up for the company that butters my bread, then I'm happy to be a jerk.
