Well... Boohoo to you...

You must think you're the only person on this board (or this world) that DOESN'T have a perfect life!

The only reason (I can see) that you started this thread was to invoke a pity party.

All I can say about this thread is:



I usually don't involve myself in these types of threads, sometimes things need to be said.

 

Thanks for driving my point home and being another contributor of the negativity that inspired my post. You obviously missed the ball here too.

For the record, I feel pretty good about my life. 1 wife, 1 kid, 1 job, 1 house, 2 cars, 1 motorcycle...(the list goes on). Things are working out well for me. Thanks for the tear, but no pity party required here. Oh, you must have been confused by my response to someone elses misconception of my point. Imagine that.

As you can see, the title of my thread did what it was supposed to, it got you to read it. I was hoping for more constructive discussion from it, but I figured it would be misunderstood by the few that it was written about. Oh well, people will make what they will of it. Hell, who do I think I am anyway, trying to promote a positive forum.

By your response, I believe that you probably don't involve yourself in "these types" of threads. By the way, thanks for the portrait. I think everyone is always interested to see what other members look like.

 

...thats my best side too

 

l apologize for being a sm@rt@$$...
Perhaps you did indeed start this thread with good intentions...
It bothers me also when people here whine about the little quirks about the 8,
I'm guilty myself of whining since my first 8 was the low power version.
I did NO research prior to my impulse buy so I blamed Mazda for my choice.
When you pointed your "truthful finger" at me, it hit a nerve and I spoke
without thinking (typical for me ).
So, one again I'm sorry and keep up the good work...

:post count increase:

 

Thanks for the reply. I too have been accused of being smart azz a time or two. I genuinely intended for this thread to be positive. I knew it would be taken wrong by a few people, but I still thought something needed to be said. I tried only using enough "controversial comments" to peak interest and maybe reach another few that honestly didn't realize that whining is not usually constructive. We all want better and less expensive products for our 8, but complaining will not assist the process.
