Say the one who started all the whining months ago when he and Olds were going back and forth. Hello pot. Have we met before? What I stated was an honest observation of a flawed system. If you want to consider that "whining", then that is your problem. To quote Ron White, "Next time you have a thought, let it go" (see the Expy thread as a perfect example of this)

In two weeks it went from 25 to 6 because of two posters here.

So seriously, what is being done here? For some reason, it only lets me vote one way or the other each day but it's really longer than that. Up until today, I wasn't able to either for days. Meanwhile certain posters just sit on their votes until certain other posters say something they take a slight to. Again, the system is broken. Just my two cents.

And while the normal suspects down vote me merely speaking my opinion, let this sink in a bit. Wings presents one perspective, i.e. cheap base Mustang leaving room for customer picked options and choices. I presented the same thing, i.e. agreed with his perspective while ADDING another perspective in regards to customer choice and packaging. Now, having said that, who has the limited perspective here? It's sure isn't me but please feel free to down vote me for merely giving my opinion.

Wow. Calls my perspective "limited" while ignoring his own limited thinking (and by extension ignoring everything I said that supported my much broader perspective). How unsurprisingly typical.

As was already stated. Sorry you can't see beyond your own "perspective" because the reality is that not everyone shares that perspective.

At no point was I referring to the pointless incentives and deals part of the equation. I am talking about the equipment packages and Ford is really bad for inconsistent packaging options that are not cheap or just flat out non-existent for a particular car (looking at you, V6 Mustang). Real choice is being able to choose one or two options that a customer may want, not shoving an overpriced package down the customers throat, with ten options they didn't want just to get the two that they did want. Seems every car company out there has forgotten about these REAL choices. Again, perspective.

Yeah it is really terrible when a company does a ton of market research on their prospective buyers and puts out the car they actually want from the get go, instead of potentially nickle and diming them to death with weird packaging options that customers may or may not want. BTW, there is no right or wrong here. Just pointing out that it is a matter of perspective when talking about what the customer wants.

Yeah, it's a good starting point even if you add options later. Depending on the car, yes it can be. The Mustang options, for the most part, are fairly inexpensive.

Cheapest is a relative term when you factor in how the vehicle is packaged. It is no surprise that the Stang was cheapest though. It does give a good value for a V8 car but the caveat is that it is a very minimalist package when compared with the competition. Nothing wrong with that but it keeps things in perspective.

You must live in my neck of the woods (Phoenix). I'll be glad when it dips back into the 90's next week. Yeah, I live in Phoenix..moved here from Denver in '08. Long story..don't like the climate and the desert, but the tech job market is solid, and lots of good restaurants around the valley... I moved out here from NC back in 2007 (Prescott for the first five years and then to Peoria where I live now). Glad to be away from the humidity and while the desert heat can be a *****, it makes up for it from fall to spring. And yes, lots of good eating around here (looking at you Lolo's Chicken and Waffles)!

That's actually a pretty good compromise against the folks who spend their whole time here doing nothing but down voting.

Again, the voting system is broken.

"Josephine" from the "Higher Truth" album by Chris Cornell. The whole album is just your average everyday lyrical masterpiece.

Thinking I should just start posting as a guest. Maybe then, I too, can dodge that pesky little down vote. It works for others here so why not? BTW, that was heavily laced with sarcasm in case anyone here wondered.

I'm just going to state that it is clear that certain folks will always vote certain ways based on who they are up voting or down voting for. As neat as it is to have in theory, the current vote system clearly broken.

Just another company slapping their name on China made crap.

Just got a chuckle when I viewed my profile and looked at the latest visitors. Accidental clicks must be running rampant around here or perhaps it's just one person who doesn't realize what they are clicking on. Refreshing to expose a lie with no effort on my part whatsoever.

And the downvote confirms. Either you're that... Uh, guy, or you act just like him. Either way, you have my condolences. Me any my immoral truck... ROFL :D We don't worry about what the children are trying to do, especially when it's the same two. Some people just hate the simple facts and try to counter with silly semantics. On top of that, they prove their silly fanboyishness by ignoring the positive stuff you say about their favorite make (see the SuperDuty thread as a perfect example), but down vote until their fingers bleed when dare say something perceived as negative about that same make.

A random insult is still a random thought.

Enough of your charades. You didn't need to mention 'anyone by name'. Your intentions were loud and clear. Wash, rinse, repeat. Oh and what is charades? Its a game. Like what youre playing here - wondering if anyone is going to call me out ( and in doing that, YOU called me out ). And then going on a few times ( rinse/repeat ) about how you didn't mention anyone by name. Blah, blah, blah. BTW, might want to work on your sarcasm detection. Again, the facts. You mentioned someone by name and I didn't. Fact. Deal with it and move on. I did but in fairness, it was a bidet.

@LS7--Again, I mentioned no one by name unlike yourself. Those are the facts. Don't like it? Oh well.

And Mod friend I still chat with from one of those other sites happened to mention bong was banned for what you say and his endless trolling. Hmmm, so I wonder if anyone will go after you for mentioning the ban of another member on a another site. One could easily say you just did. I mentioned no one. You did though. Thanks for playing. And I could have sworn there was warning issued today for the very thing you just did.
