Putting on my moderator hat for a moment, DO NOT do this. Posting links to promote cross-forum arguments is a violation of the rules you agreed to when you joined this site.

So if that's what makes me a "poser", then so be it.

The maturity going from that forum to here is a whole world of difference.

Hehehe, the internets tubes are full of tons and tons of bitter angry people who believe their car is the most uber car made and will endlessly tell you that your car stinks. Even on the best web sites like the s2ki forums, I’m always having to stick up for the IS350 from "posers" who flame the car.. well just to flame it. This is no different for any car I have ever owned. You end up just having fun with them, usually people who do that can have their buttons pushed pretty easy.

Just because I made a lot of really good friends through there and we still all post in the Southwest forums and I'm trying to sell off all the rest of my leftover parts from the old car.

Don't worry, I'm not going to institgate any cross-forum fights. They always get ugly. Not everyone from the Celica forums are bad, some are just a bit immature.

Just wanted to share some pure stupidity that is pretty common on the internet.

Let me guess, he bought a BMW and thinks it's the ultimate driving experience and every other luxury car pales in comparison.

lol....that guy is retarded.

I choose the IS250 because it's a nice sedan, decently quick for daily commute, great gas millage, nice interior, etc. I chose it because I love it.

If I was you, I'd have told him that it's my car, and he should stop butting in people's life.

Well first of all, we have ppl like that here too, 350 owners who bash on 250 owners/older guy who bash on the younger ones who got their cars as gifts/ppl who bash on romeo for his chrome and ron for his underglow... Theres ppl like that everywhere.

If he wants to bash on you for selling your celica just tell him, 'well its not like its a GT-4, it was FWD after all...'
