Out of the blue, I received the following e-mail from philip kim [pkim1079@hotmail.com]:

pretty ugly s2000....wannabe....get some different rims.....sure supercharged is great but wait til min is done...(turbo)

he later writes:

ill put a pic up soon....but dont have digi cam...i only insult you cuz its a waste of a car to make it that ugly....all of my frenz were in front of the computer laughing..!! haha

and then...

the only part i dont like are the rims/suspension setup and the ugly mesh grille action ..... dont make it silver....thats too RICE....you drive an asian car....fix it up in an asian way....

He says his web site is: www.2by2.net/mys2000



Sure we have our purists (Bieg... who I am really starting to appreciate more and more) who feel we should keep our cars completely stock to preserve the excellent craftsmanship and tuning that Honda put into our car. BUT if we decide to modify or personalize our vehicles (which we purchased with our own money)... does anyone have the right to say what is "the correct way to modify/personalize?"... I thought "personalize" meant to make it how WE would like...


HAS ANYONE ELSE RECEIVED CRAP FROM THIS GUY ?!?

 

I like your wheels. You should put this guys email on autodelete.

 

Gee, I know my feelings would really be hurt if he'd have sent that to me

I wouldn't even know how to respond to that. I guess that means if I drive an Italian car I should fix it up the Italian way? What is the Italian way? As far as that goes, what is the Asian way?

Maybe the guy's 10-yr old son actually sent you the email?

 

Bizarre.

Sounds like you have no choice but to de-personalize your car.

 

Shaner -

If you want to really get the guy, you can always complain to Hotmail about him 'spamming' you. They were (and still may be) sensitive about it and would delete the account of people accused of 'spamming'. They don't appear to check up on the accuracy of complaints, either. Check this link out for more detail:

BTW - I'm not advocating any bendings of the truth, but if you want to be evil, here's your chance.


P.S. I'm removing my e-mail address from the personal data page as soon as I post this...

 

Normally, I am not bothered by what other people say, do, or think... but this is the FIRST really negative message I have ever received since being associated with S2Ki.com For the most part, the members here are extremely nice, intelligent, and very willing to go out of their way for you... that's why I belong to the club and post.

If this board was filled with a bunch of Philip Kims, I would never visit again...

 

It's bad enough that people post their crude, insensitive criticisms of other people's personal work and taste, but it's altogether another thing to send a private email with this drivel. If this guy's a member of our community he should be reprimanded, which is just what I'm doing .

 

For what it is worth, I can not find this person registered with s2ki. His email and or a quick search of a nickname did not pull up anything. Our dbase does not retrieve any info.

So.. first issue. If you have a nickname, I can look him up.

second, he would not get your email addy from s2ki if he was not registered.

No worries kids!

also, maybe this person is impersonating the kim fella

 

ha. his website's a MLM disguised as a personal homepage
noticed that he said he didn't have a digicam... maybe he's trying to tell you to buy something via his site so he can use his commission $ to fix his car up the 'asian' way

 

I can't believe some people have nothing else better to do ... What you do to your car is your business and you can modify it whatever way you deem fit and like. Don't listen to crap like that and don't even bother to start an argument or something. Some people are just to free and bloody irritating.
