Thank you for letting me know. I'll make sure I post in as many of your threads as I can. I may not be very funny but at least, unlike yourself, I don't feel I'm so special that I can break the posting rules at will and multiple post and knowingly post in the wrong forum and then get all huffy when someone takes a jab at you for doing it.

I'm a fireman and when someone like you gives me a dumbass order, I'll make bloody sure I do exactly the opposite. You just gave me an open invitation.
So no, when it comes to people like you, I make a point of saying whatever I like, even if it is the MOST negative thing I can think of. Oh, and believe me, after this, it's only going to get more negative day by day. Welcome to my world.

You don't think I'm funny? Good. I don't need you to thing I'm funny. I just got your attention. I don't think you're special. Ever.
Well that made me laugh, so you must be funny!!!

A lot of people here arent accouting for physics. I have 18s, which replaced my 16s.

The ride is MUCH nicer. Everyone who sat in my car said it is a lot less rough, and smoother. The car handles better, and MUCH better in the wet.

Why? Because the tires are much wider. Wider tires spread the load and disperse bumps much better than OEMs. 18s dont have as much to do as how wide they are. Get a 9.5 in rear rim, and youll feel a WORLD of difference.
I run 225/255 16's at the track, and 225/255 18's street. The 16's feel alot softer, altho I LOVE the look of the 18's because they fill the wheelwell. The ride isn't effected that much just with 18's.

If you got nothing positive to say viper, say nothing. I don't think you are funny. Ever.
To say that XViper isnt funny ever, is very strong. Personally his "Answers to all of your questions" thread had me laughing for days.


Perhaps someone lost thier sense of humor, I know maybe its in the secret compartment.

We joke about them because they are good natured and can usually take it. And, of course, because they are funny. Canadian... Comedian... whatever, same thing.
