Anyway, totally different topic. . . And in no way am I comparing Nineball to a god!!

I do, however think nineball(or anyone else as knowledgeable and experienced in the field of discussion) deserves the respect not to be talked to like a mindless dog.

And if you still think the text is out of context(if I had typed the entire conversation it would have been two pages long and pointless) why don't you go back and read it again. . . in full context. Maybe some of you got a different understanding of the conversation, but I see it as thisblood assuming that nineball and the shop were ignorant about the 4.6L and blew the motor because they didn't know what they were doing. Then Thisblood seemed to change his tone when nine told him the vin on the car fell into the category of ones with bad parts. Bottom line they are all insults which are off topic and contain profanity. Thisblood is acting like a two face troll and his comments along with others should be deleted from these threads to say the least.
My bad didn't mean to sound upset. Wasn't tring to attack you. Just saying those sentences "could" be takin out of context. Wasn't trying to attack you.

That is just a sign of what gas prices have done to the industry. I'm sure all performance car sales are down, and all 4-banger sales are up. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

PS - How is this thread still open? If you guys want to debate how epic the Mustang is against any car that was ever built, surely you could do it in another thread. I know, go talk to the Viper guys about how amazing the GT500 is, cause we are kinda bored with hearing it.

How can you guys back GM when they axed the car? That car was out for 35 years & they just axed it like it was nothing, leaving most of you in the dark. Also, the GT500 does not cost 50,000 ( yet another embellished remark ), more like $42,000.
LOL, that kid didnt listen to a thing i said... *sigh* well atleast he's banned.. THANK YOU NINEBALL!

Thank god he's gone.

And Mongooz....yea I kinda got skitchy with Nine Ball in the V6 thread. But I wasn't bashing on him or any of GM's cars. It wasn't about that. Everyone has bad days and gets set off by the wrong things sometimes. I apologized to Nine Ball and its done with. You wanna label me a troll for that, go ahead. Everyone is free to read all my posts and see that I'm the furthest thing from a troll as you can get. Just because I happen to own a Mustang and not an LSX car doesn't qualify me for immediate banning.

This is just the kind of backlash that 000000 and others like him have been bringing my way. I'm just as happy as the rest of you that he's done with. I honestly can't believe he lasted as long as he did.

I see our troll re-registered and made a few posts. Easy enough to re-ban him and delete his posts. I can do this forever, I find it fun (sickness?)

Zap! ~poof~ it is like he never re-registered or posted again. Simple.

Nineball, watching you ban him over and over is like watching a bug zapper and a moth. Love it.

the funny thing is, that all the time the troll spends having to register new email addresses and the SN's and such, it only take litterly 3 seconds to pop up the control panel and ban the bastard
