To me, it was a ridiculous statement - and my response was not a slam on you, only on your statement.

(Keep in mind too, while we're on the subject, that 05 JCWs could be had with a variety of OEM wheels, from the factory. 16s and 17s... I myself had the web-spokes, while not "lightweight", are noticably lighter than the S-lites. Only the JCW needed to be dealer-installed.)

I do want to point out one thing - I was not a moderator back then (and I'm still not on that forum) so I was unable to delete anything, I could only edit my own posts... and the only time I did was once I realized I had somehow skipped over your amusing fish reference, since I was so caught up in the JCW stuff. I even apologized once I realized my mistake. (Post #55 in that thread)

Actually, other than the "once in a while" overreaction (hey, we're all human), I'm pretty much the same as before... but you don't know me well enough to realize that, I guess. The key is, when I screw up, and I realize I screw up, I have no problem apologizing, publicly. I just have to know I made the mistake first!

.........substitute the popcorn bag in your emoticon for a bowl of lettuce, some croutons, and have it kinda bouncing up and down........but the smiley could still be wide-eyed.......

That would make me happy because I hardly ever eat popcorn but do enjoy my salads.

I see nothing constructive or remotely entertaining about this thread. Let's stop acting like 10 year olds and get on with life, shall we?
