my 2 cents...
first of all Id just like to say to OAK I think its really mature that you took the comments with a grain of salt and just had a bit of a laugh bout it all cos after all its all a matter of OPINION.
I dont think that merli meant any malice out of this either, we all know that he likes to stir a bit of shit from time to time and this is just another great example. I would probably say that it was not a good idea to single out the person by showing their license plate in a public forum cos then it gets personal and people get offended (as in M3M3NTO's case) as oppose to having a bit of a laugh bout it all.
M3M3NTO I think that you need to think about the way that OAK handled the remarks and the way you did. At the end of the day, as I have already stated, its all a matter of opinion and yes it is YOUR car and you do whatever you want with it... if someone doesnt like it then tuff shit. However, I think that your comments aimed at taking the piss out of OAK's car were a bit malicious, things like:
"THE OAK maybe you should do your self a favour and remove your badge or at least place it in the right spot. And since you wanna be a picky little fella why dont you remove you STICK ON Bonnet Pins too and get the real deal."
dont need to be said cos I think its going beyond the joke. I apologise in advance tho to M3M3NTO if Im wrong on this and your just joking but thats not how I read it. To me tho, it seems hypocritical to tell someone as you did that its your car and you can do whatever you want to it only to turn around and rip into someone elses car and their choice of mods. Having a laugh bout it all would have probably been the wiser option.
But again, my apologies if I misread your post
Anyway, its just my 2cents.
