Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hellion94" data-source="post: 916965" data-attributes="member: 8471">I'm not sure that the OP is here, but I'll put this here anyway...Let me impart some wisdom. When joining a faceless community full of people that you don't know and who don't know you, the first and most effective thing to do is introduce yourself humbly and treat people with respect. The latter of those two things is what this forum is and should be based upon. Admittedly, there are a lot of members here who lack the knowledge and experience of other members who have, perhaps, had more time in "the game" than others. However, we offer this forum as a place where those members seeking knowledge can come and learn and be treated with respect. All that we ask in return is that same respect. By joining our community you have provided yourself access to tutorials, expertise, friendship, or whatever else you may seek from the Mustang community as a whole. However, by immediately displaying a self-implicated sense of superiority on anyone who viewed your post, you have erased that respect that we ask for, and in return, may not receive the respect you believe you deserve. None of us here on the forum know you, nor do you know us, and by making a blanket, vague judgement about "V8 owners" you ironically serve to reenforce the stereotype that follows the import, or domestic "non-V8" crowd. This is the reason you are being met with disrespect and inattentive ears (or eyes I suppose in this case). You obviously have things to learn about Mustang history, power, and suspension geometry, just as many of the other members on this forum do, including myself. However, I think you will find it much, MUCH more helpful to put down the know-it-all front and let yourself take advantage of the knowledge that a place such as this can provide. Hopefully you won't take this as me being an arrogant prick, and rather see it for what it is.</blockquote>
