Replying to: richard64 (Oct 27, 2007 2:14 pm) Richard-- I agree with you completely. I think that the pervasive shorthand in forums/email/text messaging is much less offensive than the notion that what's typed is just disposable digital effluvia. Economy has its place in our hectic, fast-paced world; it just seems that we value so little anymore--even our discourse, digital or otherwise. But I'm sure not going to cast the first stone. Makes one wonder what, if anything, future generations might make of the writing on forums like this--should it even survive in some form. I'm sure that they'll be bemused that some poor consumer only made $130K/month or complained that they got taken by some car dealer. Car...what's that? Gogiboy |

Replying to: gogiboy (Oct 28, 2007 10:14 am) As for the new generation, they won't be able to understand any of the postings here. We're reverting back to the Stone Age. They will probably just draw pictures on cave walls and in the sand. My classic from a high school senior was when I asked on a test for them to describe the gun duel between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr. My student wrote that Alexander Hamilton had met a "burr" in the woods and that the "burr" had shot Hamilton. He went on to say that he didn't really know what a "burr" was doing with a gun. Poor child. I was the reason that he never played football for Clemson.

Gosh Tim, you sure as heck did not give a rats butt for the many, many years that Canadian cars were priced significantly lower than US cars. It was policy of a large number of Canadain automobile dealers to refuse to sell vehicles to US customers. Canadians remained silent. Do not expect anything more from the US now that the shoes on the other foot. |

Replying to: jipster (Oct 26, 2007 4:24 pm) I believe that Oxmoor's bad BBB rating has to do with their advertising and sales practices. Their service department is pretty good, based on what I've read on some Mazda-specific forums. I wouldn't know; my wife's family lives in Florence so I take the Mazdaspeed to Kings for service. It doesn't hurt that I get a free oil change every 5000 miles, which means I'm only out the cost of 6 quarts of Mobil 1. Oh yeah, here's another endearing thing about Oxmoor... not only do they have $3K ADM stickers on their Mazdaspeed3s, they also won't allow test drives without a signed buyer's order. Geez, it's not like the car is a GT 500 or something. |
