OK, let me see if I understand what you have been trying to say cct1. A) Only hard core, performance modders, are real MINI owners. B) Everyone should put up with rude, loud mouths. Hummmmmm.......interesting......very interesting. Jim
As for A: Seriously, nowhere did I say that. I have no idea where you are getting that from. As for B: I didn't say put up with them. I said put the ear plugs in if it bothers you. There's a difference between ignoring and putting up with.
I hate to admit it, but we've totally gotten hooked on Downton Abbey, downloaded all of them and we're almost caught up. I'm officially old now. Oh, and Nate, I have a great idea for an emoticon, but maybe it's already been done--a "Talk to the Hand" emoticon. Put that puppy up when you're annoyed, but without any response behind it, and many of these issues die on the vine.
And this is why there are noise ordinances in most communities, so we don't all have to listen to crap day in and day out.
