Ignore this kid. Heavy subs are a good investment, but light wheels aren't? Phil has coilovers? It's pretty obvious he doesn't have a ****ing clue what he's talking about.

Well, there are people that purchase those things to "show" and win money from investing money in $3,000+ rims. Your ignorance in assuming that $3,000 is a lot of money to majority of people here, but to some it may be chump change...daily expenditure...what have you. There is no more "value" in a $3,000 system than there is in $3,000 rims. It's quite possible, those $3,000 rims CAN be placed on another car. Same justificiation as you give for the stereo system. Either way, it is a futile argument because NEITHER of the products are an "investment" really, unless it is going to earn you cash.

Sorry, but you can't justify that your sound system is going to earn you anymore income than $3,000 rims...LOL. That, to me, typifies an ignorant statement. You're 16 years old. How much life experience do you have of those 16 years? Maybe 3. Sorry kid, I think there are a lot more people on this forum that are worlds ahead of you.

Insults = attack. Are you denying the fact that you made a general insult towards anybody that has rims that cost $3,000+ and coilovers? If you scroll up, it looks like it to me.

You tell me?

Again im making a generalization and it is in no way an attack towards anyone.
While you may not be attacking anyone, it's probably not the best idea to use any phrasing containing anything about "blowing brains out", just to play it safe.

No, that proves that you completely miss the point. THIS is just the w203 forum. There are also other forum members, that own other chassis on this forum, that you have outright insulted by indicating that their decisions are "stupid" by purchasing HRE'S, BBS', OZ's, RADENERGIE, IFORGED, DPE, etc, etc, etc... That's a lot of people and it has NOTHING to do with outside manufacturers.

Do you wish to retract your statements or re-word them?

Ummm yea my ride will be the same with these "Heavy" 30 lbs subs in my trunk. Are you one of those people that ride around with your spare tire in your garage instead of where its supposed to be? If you want weight reduction maybe you need something like The South Beach Diet or something? And yea he has coilovers thanks for telling me that he had to spend an extra 1k dollars to make his ride the same or still even worse than stock...

Haha learn about what an asset and a liability is...both rims and a systems are not assets because I dont care what car show you go to you will never make money off those rims you have. But which one will satisfy you longer the rims or system. You could keep the system for ANY car you have but what if your next vehicle is a truck and you have those rims? You gonna put some c230 wheels on it?

Drex read what he said and tell me if he insulted me?

There was no reason for him to even comment with something that ignorant...

I was stating a fact, not insulting.
1) nlpamg does not have coilovers on his W203
2) asset means you own something worth money
3) you're a dumbass

All facts.

Despite what you may think, the purchase of an expensive set of rims vs. a cheap set could save a person from being in a bad situation. I think I value my life more than a stereo system, no doubt.

How long have you been doing business? And for what company? If you had paid attention, I had mentioned that NEITHER is actually a true "investment" because they do not prove to be assets. If you really want to take this to a "business" debate, I highly doubt you want to get into that with me. I have 15 years worth of business experience over you, kid. That's almost your entire lifetime.

My main point is you need to discontinue the insults or you will be banned for 30 days.

I am calm. That's the last insult. And you get a time-out for 1 month...take a good rest and relax a 'bit. Maybe you should take a class in "respect".

THREAD IS NOW CLOSED.

You definitely do need to educate yourself. While I own assets, you are just sponging (see "liability") from your parents. Keep it up... you're doing a great job making an a$$ of yourself.

Looks like Drex just made you his asset.
