Sigh.....son, you're gonna have to pay closer attention if you want this schoolin' to pay off....I dont have inexhaustible patience, you know.

But, lets revist, shall we: First, discrediting an object is not the same as discrediting an individual, unless that individual identifies SO strongly with that object that he/she takes that criticism as a personal insult.

The english language has a word for that..."Materialism". Materialism is the worshiping of tangible objects.

So, here's the test: Does my identifying that the mid-bumper wings, snorkel pods, and non-fucntional cowl vents are goofy cause you personal distress?

Does my emphasis on the fact that the mid-bumper wings are a cheesy afterthought (have you looked closely at those things!? It amazes me that such in-your-face abuse of the consumer doesnt give you pause....I mean, how "Chryler-esque!") cause you to feel personally insulted?

The thing is JUST an object. The truck does not define one, unless one must be externally validated. If one IS defined by what one drives...then we have the spectre of materialism to deal with...

So, yeah. My opinion is, obviously...that its just a truck. And particularly fun to cut up, because it lights SO many peoples asses on fire

Finally...you suggested that I just insulted all H2 owners...well, sport, that ain't entirely accurate. Simply reading the remainder of this thread will prove that.

Cheer up, princess. You'll come around, eventually
