I have never commented on your car, so don't try to pull me into your narcissistic ring of BS! I have never had an issue with you in the past, but your disrespect in this topic is uncalled for and insulting. If you have issues with certain people then talk to them directly. Do not single out me, or attack the DMA as a whole. If you can't be respectful enough to apologize for this thread, then don't expect me to be respectful to YOU going forward.
