Dear Jerry,

Firstly let me preface this by stating that I do find your posts to be quite helpful in general. But..

Sir, I am confused here... isn't this self-explanatory
If there are many more of them then it stands to reason that they would have a higher number of these occurrences.

I don't own an SPF but I know enough about them to know they make a great cobra and would consider myself privileged if I owned one.

Your post isn't reflective of the quality of the brand or car.

As for the word POSER - I find it a relative word. Used by some to take a position of superiority on others. You are welcome to call one a "poser" but you my friend may be considered a poser by another. Either way it can only comes across as inflammatory. Especially when the word be viewed from the point of its synonym "hypocrite". Perhaps the word "FAN" or "DEVOTEE" could also work here.

As for corner weighing of your car, I'd be happy to conclude that both parties are equally correct. If you feel your car isn't handling the way you want it to, or if you feel the need to - then go ahead knock yourself out!
