Josh, I note you're new. The format, format...ha, is rather loose. Rather the usual straight/rigid or mundane forums elsewhere, it's more like standing around a garage or sitting around a fire. You never quite know what someone is going to say. Esp in a thread like this one. Fun times.

Esp in a thread like this one. Fun times. Kevin Kevin, New to the 914 world forum, possibly, but I am a member of many different forums from all of the other cars that I have owned or currently own. And I would never expect to be called a "hipsters, douchebags, and cattle rapists" because of an article that was moderately interesting on the possible prospect of placing a newer Porsche engine into a 914. I at least thought that the idea would be interesting to those who have completed Subaru swaps as those are mentioned in the article. "A thread like this one." is well within the guidelines of what is allowed to be posted in the 914World Garage. If you are a moderator, I would request that you delete this thread as the initial interest that I attempted to show to the other members of 914 World is currently being covered up by a 'rant' against another website and the additional comments do nothing to add to the conversation. Regards, DC |

Well, it's a good thing then that no one actually called YOU that. If you read the post without any personal bias, you'll see that at no point did the poster actually make the association between you personally and the attributes mentioned.
