2. So by your logic, every car on the road has road rash. Yet, somehow, you say your SS has avoided that, despite the fact that to avoid it you say not to drive the car yet have achieved 6k miles without incident by some act of God huh? You counter your own ill-concieved points. This isn't a personal issue with me. There are TONS of people putting up with crappy, cheap paint with paper-thin clear coat. That shouldn't happen for the price of these cars.

You're right about one thing....the lawsuits. In America, that is exactly how we settle things. Companies like GM put out a shit product for a premium price and hope that blind brand followers will outshout the people who have issues. They only listen when a group of people finally take them to court, and that's sad. Do you know how many companies settle outside of court on class suits? Do you know why that is? Because they KNOW they are shafting people and would rather pay a little to the consumer and alot to the lawyers to keep their name out of the papers.

The craftsmanship on this car is par...the paint is definitely NOT. And I should not have to park my $30k car under a protective cover in my garage and wipe it with a damn diaper three times a week because it isn't tough enough to do what it was supposedly built to do: drive on a public road.

Here....you can have your soapbox back.

3. Price. I still say $30k for a V6 is far too much and I get ticked every time my payments come in.

4. The sea of hard plastic inside the car.

5. The absolutely useless defroster.

6. The stock sound system needs alot more guts.

7. The fact that the LFX sounds like my Dad's old 1975 truck. Could these engines make any more noise?

That's about it I would say.

Also, I very openly admit that financially speaking, its not a good thing to do. I won't even argue that.

And I do hate the V6 bashing that goes on and yeah, I guess that might be part of the issue. I know the biggest thing is I miss the way my Cobra sounded. But I don't want to pay another $10k to get a V8 rumble either. So that's why I'm stuck.

Lol! No, just the first ones I came across. Many more to be found though. I'm surprised how forgiving the SS crowd is after some of his posts.

It's like when a buddy dates a girl that really isn't a good fit for him. Everyone else sees it, except your buddy, because he's either pie-eyed for the boobs, or the sex so good that he can't see her for the whole person. She's a total bitch, but he keeps lapping it up and finally asks her to marry him. All we can do is regurgitate the things he's said about her and wish him the best!

It's either going to be a fun ride for him while it lasts (until the divorce), and it sounds like "she" already has all his money...OR...it's going to be one of those never-expected matches made in heaven. Time will tell.

Not a misquote at all actually, but whatever, don't forget to do a fuse pull
