Not quite what y'all are referring to, but I have had this one tagged for a while now:

That's a nice car. But way on the high side pricewise. I sold my '98 Cobra drop top with 1/2 as many miles for ~$15K. I'd do that again rather than pay $13K for the Mach I

Well, yours was 6 yrs older and the Mach 1 in question was an improvement in performance vs your older cobra. So I'd take the newer facelifted vehicle for $2k less, personally. Diff'rent strokes and all that, ya know?

I get it. The way I viewed it, my Cobra was.....well.....a Cobra, with a hand built V8 and the top went down. And, it was super low mileage. And, it was one owner who had everything ever done to the car documented.

But, I’m showing how I fold in the heat of the moment when it comes to something I (perceive) want.

Torque off the line was intoxicating the way they had it geared. And, it sounded “Oh so sexy”. But, if I wind out my TLX, the 0-60 time is probably similar to the Cobra.

Plus, women waved at me when I had the top down in the Cobra and I was tooling along.

Best I’ve ever done with the Acura was a plus sized lady in a Walmart vest stopping me in a parking lot asking for directions.

People step over the line when they crap on the cars you like and and run them through the mud like a beautiful Chow Chow at Yulin, China.

I have not put down the countless German bland-mobiles that get foisted upon us here like clockwork on Edmunds. But yet the German fanboys get a get out of jail card for all time for pooping forever on econocars? Nope. That ain't  right. It's not about taking it personally. It's about someone having the Kahuna's to step up to the bully boys and calling a stop to it.

I'm on other sites. It's no lost skin to me if people vote my butt out of here. I can happily walk away from Edmunds. It would just be a shame to cut out a chunk of people that like other types of automobiles on here.

So far it's you, who is calling people names. This is a second or third time you seem to have quite emotional reaction due to inability to get "validation" to your views or choices. You like Yaris, fine, it's your business. You call it fun - fine, for you it may be just it. Apparently you must be only one on this board and THAT'S FINE, TOO. But it seems you are now taking everybody hostage (emotionally, anyway), because they didn't give you an expected nod of approval. This forum is specifically for people to share their views on cars (and other things, sometimes) and it may just happen than large percentage (overwhelming majority) may like what you don't like. Doesn't make you wrong, but makes you "lonely" and I understand it can sometimes be unpleasant and feel unfair. We've had several heated exchanges about GM here, yet even then the minority of the protagonists did not call the majority of skepticts/antagonists the way you just call us. Bullying? Looks a lot like pot calling kettle. Get a grip, man and develop some thicker skin.
