Sorry defy but I just can't pass up this one liner.

with 0 HP!

Every group has turnover, that's the nature of life. And every group has arguments, that's the nature of people.

How one defines "greatness" will be subjective. I personally feel that this descriptive is often over-used, dilluting its importance; much like some seem to give "love" a bad name by throwing it out there so casually...

There are a lot of NAM members who contribute to make this Community special. For me, there are a handful, or subset for which I will go out of my way to read whatever they post because they are often gems of information in content and/or expression (ability to articulate & explain).

In no particular order, the aforementioned Dr O, jlm, meb, Petrich, Greatbear, BFG9000, and somewhat new on the scene, 002.

Having knowledge and information is one thing... but being able and willing to share it with others, in a non-abrassive eloquent manner is yet another.

Being a spoonge on NAM, I truly appreicate their contributions, and feel that they are as close to "greatness" as we have...

I have since thought of a few more, but I'll leave it at that.

You guys are so eloquent...I'll just listen...


Sooo...can someone compile a list of "The Great Ones"? I want to know who to call (besides Dr O whom I've bothered many times) when I get in deep doo doo again...

Oh yeah...Meb, the suspension expert

Well, the NAM community is in deep doo doo

We're in big trouble now.....

Some people are of the
Some people are for the

If someone has an idea for a modification be it mechanical or cosmetic.
There will be some people that may think your idea/thought is the biggest load of road apples...... other will think you are the best thing since sliced bread....
It's been said here on NAM probably over a thousand times.
"Different strokes for different folks"

So i'll stop before i

dan,
if you took that as an insult I apologize it wasn't meant in the tone you took it. You might want to read those same policies and apply them to your post that I did reply to above. That is a violation of the site.
Thanks, can we move back on topic again?

Actually, NAM has been pretty calm...

compared to the great AGS debate.... Now that was a fiery one!

I guess we always think that now is the most of everything.....

Just not so... It's about balance... You can have 400HP in a car that handles, stops and goes... Of course it won't be FWD....
My Z06 was a good example of this...

However... I prefer the mini for everyday traffic wars...
