Hey, I am not going onto your sewing and cooking forums, so why bother us here? It is a well proven fact that men are better drivers. I really do not see why you are so sensitive about it. I certainly don't tell you how to cook or clean. LOL, just kidding.

I am sure that you have seen by now that there are lots of guys here that are nice. I have seen a lot of guys,myself included, that have only been very polite and respectful to women, but who have just been treated horribly in return over and over again. Hey, I am not coming here to complain. There are bad people of both sexes and past experiences with the bad ones can make us unsure of the good ones.

I actually love to cook. I clean despite not liking it, and my daily driver now is a Toyota V6 minivan. I honestly have had really bad luck with women, but I am not too bitter. I am married to a dedicated wife and have an amazing son. I know not all girls are bad. I am sure that if you see them, there are a lot of really honest and nice guys here, despite the fact that I am sure there are nuts, too.

I have got a lot of great info from people on this forum. I am a girl and I don't get bothered by people saying I can't do stuff because I'm a girl. I was raised by 4 generations of very strong women. My father left when I was 2 weeks old so my grandmothers and mom raised me. I was taught to use tools cook clean and to do pretty much everything I need to do myself. I now have sons and alot of things I learned I've passed on to them. I'm not arguing just saying not all women are the same.some of us are just as tough as the guys even though we wear lipstick and skirts lol.

First of all, I don't sew. Not good at it. Never was. I pay MEN to tailor and repair my clothing. My tailors name is Sam and he is awesome. My fiancee and I share the shopping, cooking and cleaning chores, like any forward thinking man would do when both of you work full time like we do. I can see why you have not had much success with women. You are a caveman and we don't like being dragged around by our hair anymore LOL, just kidding.

You just prooved my point by your comment. The arrogance of some men wanting to put me into a *box* that make themselves comfortable. I don't like boxes; they make me claustrophobic. When I was 18 I RACED and 426 hemi cuda. My Mom taught me how to drive a stick when I was 16. I am a much better driver than my ex-husband ever will be and my soon to be husband will tell anyone we meet what a great driver I am. My 27 year old son will tell you the same. I taught him how to drive a MT. Don't imply that women are not good drivers. That is like saying that all (fill in the ethinicity) can't drive. You can't put people into boxes. We are all individuals with different skills. Mine happens to be being a good driver who likes a little power under my size 2 jeans. I want a car that can get out of it's own way if I need it to. Doesn't mean that I will abuse the power. I have too much respect for it, but I want it if I need it.

And I am sincerely sorry to have *bothererd* you here. I came here because I thought I could actually garner information from people who share a love for the same vehicle that I do. I didn't come here to have people insulted and that happens to go for men and women being insulted on this site, not just myself. I have a great sense of humor when something is actually funny; not insulting. Sorry that I seem to have ruffled some feathers.

I for one am really excited to see my lava red 5.0

I don't fear the box.

Okay, what is a Dex?

I don't fear it, just don't want people deciding which one they think I should be in. Boxes are bad. Having the freedom to be me and out of the box is good.

Wow, a little hypersensitive are we??

Maybe I am guilty of baiting you just a bit, but I will make my point again, so you do not miss it.

Main point: While there are girls who are mistreated by guys, there also are quite a lot of girls who mistreat guys, too. While no one cannot stop the many people who seem to love to mistreat others, by no means is this an excuse to let them ruin your day, or your time here. You do have to realize that while there are girls who do race really fast cars, the statistical majority is by far guys. While this does not give anyone an excuse to blatantly offend others, it does happen. Being that this site will always likely have a vast majority of guys, you might want to either understand that sometimes humor for guys seems a bit rude to girls. Now, I have read the humor here, and I generally find it not to be funny. My humor was more or less designed to evoke enough of a certain emotional response to somewhat harmlessly bait any further conversation that needed to happen if there were still any hurt feelings, as well as make light of the whole cooking and cleaning thing. Humor often makes fun of sensitive issues, and by doing so can help to ease pain over the long run. Now while I really am not usually good at humor, I do enjoy a good debate here and there.

Now to make myself really clear: (Bias statement) I am honestly still somewhat emotionally bitter to women because of all the many mean things I have seen them do to myself and many many others. Despite my emotions, I do know logically that much of what I saw is both human nature and bad luck.

(Getting to the point again) Do not let your emotions and past experiences get the best of you and ruin what might otherwise be a nice time on the forums. If you do not take the good and just use the bad as ammo, then you, like some of the girls I have known, are not being fair to the many really nice guys that are here and do want to talk about cars.

Obligatory examples:

Now, while I have had bad luck in the past, it is not because I am a chauvinist, or mean in any way. While I have never insulted or abused women that I knew, I was at times insulted and even hit by some of them. I also did finally seem to meet quite a lot of very nice girls who were very nice to me, but after I was engaged, and it did not matter anyway While I do encourage the attitude that families should take priority over the other things in life, I also encouraged and worked very hard to help my wife get her BS degree (Not a joke - She got a bachelors of science). No, I am a very patient, kind, and sometimes long winded person who just did have bad luck for a while.

Example 1: There was a really nice guy I knew back when I lived in California. He was attending the same church I was, and had a very decent job in the music industry. He was not rich, but did make decent money. He was always kind and polite to all, and always treated everyone with respect. He is the type of guy that I really do not need to make anything up about. (He is also about 5 feet 0). So, one day he needs to attend a singles church function that he is helping out with. Since this was a singles Christmas dinner, he really was supposed to bring a date, if at all possible. So, (I promise I am not lying one bit here) he asks six of his "friends" that he knew did not have any date yet, and who he knew wanted to go. Despite being his so called friends, despite the fact that they almost all end up going with someone, and despite the fact that they knew he needed to find someone to go with since he was helping out, ALL of the girls said no. When he finally got to ask the 7th friend of his, she had hears how he had been mistreated, and (many said this was out of pity) agreed to go with him.

Example 2: A former friend of mine and his fiancee were sitting in the lobby of the church as everyone was walking in to the meeting. So what does he do, he dumps her right there in front of everyone in the church. In the next year after that, he goes out with a large number of church girls and treats every last one of them horribly when he is through having fun. Despite this, soon enough yet there is another nice looking woman who he gets engaged to shortly after all that.

Now, who got all the girls, the jerk. I have many more examples that are far far worse than those, but I do not want to completely bore you, not that I haven't already, so I will spare you the rest.

The main point yet again: Do not be so quick to deride men the first time you take offense to something like crude male humor, or one or two mean remarks. Trust me, guys have to wade through much more than you think, and yet we are generally all back to being polite and defending girls whenever possible. Let us not turn this forum into man (or woman) bashing. Rude stuff happens to both of our sexes. I am sure that we can all get over it.

Edit: I also am excited about my lava red mustang and am excited that my mom and I will be able to both have Mustangs this year.

Is the box lava red?

I guess it could be. But it I wouldn't go near it.

That's a beautiful car. I have a grabber blue. If I knew about the lava red I may have waited. I love my car though. Do you drive a mustang also?

Overboost

I guess I don't get how Dex = deluxe, but that's just me. Also never heard of it called a deluxe. Order guide lists it as a base or with no designation IIRC.

Lava looks promising. Waiting to see one with the BBP wheels before I make a judgment.

05mach1

Yeap dex means base model

Overboost

Sure, whatever you say bud.

Last thing I'll say, yes I was being comical--that went well! And not to belabor the point, but your argument is a logical fallacy against modus ponens. In other words, I said A=B, therefore if A, then B. You said that I was arguing A=B, therefore if B then not C. Logical fallacy. In this case A is a V6 mustang, and B is "being a girl." I never said anything about C (V8 mustang).

If I may say one last thing--you women are far superior to men in most things. Don't get so fired up about stuff that doesn't matter! Live long and prosper! (appropriate signoff given the context, no?). :-)

Gaspi101

You totally rule. That's what I'm talking about. ^^^^^^^^^^^
