Might as well delete everything except the one or two posts actually about the original post. No point in leaving any of them if you're going to get rid of some.

How come some are allowed to stroll around and troll and hijack threads?

The gym membership was to correlate a fad for a specific person, just like Pokemon. Both last a month or two and both get more exercise than without. That was my point in comparing the two. I don't see how they are THAT different to compare when talking fads. One is just a personal fad and one is a worldwide fad. Genuinely asking, how are the two fads that different? I'm more sensitive to..at least people are getting off their butts and moving w/ the game. Love or hate the game itself..some tacky anime game that looks super childish at least people who are obsessed with their phones and games are moving around some. That's literally the only reason I'm in full support for it. Fads come and go all of the time.. some suck..some are awesome and stick around.. Another genuine question, how long does it take for a fad to become something that isn't a fad anymore? And yet again, the handful of people that I know that are into it aren't the couch potato, blaming others, and selfie-aholic type of people you're generalizing all video gamer type of people(my mom is a couch potato but the others aren't at all). This game had reached such a broad spectrum of people.

They absolutely were not going outside before. I've had family members, friends, relatives that have gone waaaaay out of heir way to walk or bike a heck of a lot for this game. Like the concept of "Pokemon" or not, it's gotten people to move a lot more in the past month than anything else.Then maybe it's different in your area but I'm not blind and I see these phone zombies out and about everyday. What happens when the fad burns out in a month (it's already happening according to posters on those gaming sites)?Those three groups of people I mentioned are from three different states.Who cares what happens in a month? 75% of gym members only last a month too. But if somebody told you they got a gym membership that's a good thing even though they're spending a lot more money and they too will have their craze ended in a month. This Pokemon craze has reached a broad spectrum of people and most of these people are people that are super lazy to begin with being they're addicted to a phone game. These are the people that need this walking around the most. You do realize that you're proving my point right? Most is those same users will go right back to their couches in a week after the novelty of hunting for virtual crap wears off. Point being that a smartphone game will not keep people active long term and it should not take a game like that to get them off of there asses in the first place.And again, most of the folks I have seen doing this were doing the same damn thing a month ago, only they had their faces buried in Facebook or Twitter while they were not paying attention to the world around them. Proving your point? So you do critisize people for getting gym memberships when they first tell you about it because you assume they will just give up in a month or two? I agree that I don't think it will be long term but with the current craze you know some other company is working on something similarly "active" because it's such a hit. It most certainly SHOULDN'T take a phone game to get people active but sadly too many people are just that lazy these days. There are deinitely more overweight people than in shape people out there. See from the people I've talked to: My mom(yeah..seems odd but it's spread a large age range of people) had gone on more walks in thepast two weeks looking for Pokemon. I've gotten Snaps from my friend and his girlfriend who literally got his gf's lazy, chubby, younger brothers to go on a hike for this game. My sister(who's already very active - She's run 3 Marathons) has even gone out of her way riding her bike waaaaay more than she used to and she's already active but this makes her even more so. While I agree that a game SHOULDN'T be what makes people start moving around but if it does, that's great! I haven't even started playing it and I don't want to as I'm more afraid it'll be consuming time that I should be studying or weightlifting instead of walking at a leisure pace. But it's great that people are moving around and I've seen stupid 1 minute little "articles" on the news about people meeting and actually talking at the "gyms" and other major locations.

Says the guy who called me a douche... presumably because he doesn't have as much of a life that he didn't get his feelings hurt by a poster or two. Next up: GM's PR department gets good initial feedback for the new Grand Sport Corvette! Like I've already said, grow a sack if a "-1" effects your life like it's shown to in the past, and in this thread. Having to make a post to complain about it is childish and for you to bitch and moan in the past to force a rule change and somebody to change their user name shows your lack of self security. Either act like a douche and be treated as one or act like a man and be treated like one, like everybody else here. Also, you do realize you said I "didn't get his feelings hurt by a poster or two". I assume you meant to say that I DID get my feelings hurt by a poster or two?

Looks like absolute dog$h!.. But that shade of purple is awesome. I will give them that little bit.

I don't care if it's an observation or whatever it is. Making a post out of it is stupid as F. If you care enough to make a post about it you don't have enough sack to not care about one tiny little "-1" on some Internet website. Again, grow a set if a vote of any kind has any effect on your life.

Nah, they don't need to. The only real reasons they need to is to appease fanboys like yourself that are so stuck on one or two tenths of a second on one or two performence measurements. Good lord. Children caring about "votes" again. Grow a sack.

I don't know if it was "eliminated" but it hasn't been there. 2017 is what I was thinking. Which is only 11 days away from being "now". So just searched all of Washington and Oregon state called the local ford dealer to ask about the RS and was told they are not available at this time. Yet Ford has them on the web site as a buildable model. Something stinks in Detroit City! I've seen 2 "in the wild" so I know they're selling.

Time for the annual "Bro Float" !

But why do they have to give them a car at all? That's my only issue with the whole thing.

Seems kind of silly to blame MT for the fact that Ford won't give them a real test car. Seems kind of silly to try to belittle and to threaten a car company to comply... Like I said...journalism is there ONLY to state the facts....EQUAL and FAIR DEVOID of ANY BIAS.... I repeat....the Hertz comment is akin to the National Enquirer and TMZ... Tabloid bullshyte..nullifying, in my eyes, their coveted COTY awards for the modern times.... I guess credibility means nothing anymore... Yeah, there's no reason Ford NEEDS Motor Trend to review their stuff. Maybe in the Past MT has been assholes to them or they feel they've been treated unfairly. Just because Ford doesn't give them the exact car they want doesn't mean Ford is scared. There are hundred of variables that could be in place because the two companies have been around for so long.

The 1LE and GT350R are in MT's Best Driver's car comparo RIGHT NOW. And you're talking to two people that are very open minded about cars, unlike yourself. Maybe YOU should, "look past the brand bias." Per the BDC... Though M/T had nothing but praise for the Focus RS, its been omitted ( eliminated? ) from the the BDC Competition before it even began. Oh yeah, I have MT on SnapChat and I completely forgot about the RS. It was never there.

Ohhhhhh yeah I remember that thing. They used to advertise that pretty well also. Seemed like a great idea. I would agree that I bet it had to go because of the reduced structural rigidity for a rollover.

What do you mean by "mid gate"? What is that?

Very good review comparison! I enjoyed it. Just a heads-up I assume this is supposed to mean 73%. I only say this because I think last time I found something you said things get posted other places as well.. I'm not trying to be a grammar police as mine is probably jack $h! lol. "The Toyota Tacoma is one of the best vehicles to retain its resale value. Kelly Blue Book says the Tacoma will retain 73 of its value after three years."

Ahhhhh I forgot about the SHO.. probably because I'm not a fan of it but it does exist. It's cool "for what it is". I guess that would kind of me like an SS competitor(even though the SS would wipe the floor with it). But they are about the same size, right?

Olds, You literally read my mind with that post ^. No need to state anything you've already said. The only thing I'd say is that ATS-V is a Camaro with a fancy interior. While I love it, it isn't a secret to us what it really is. Also, GM has the SS even though this is the last model year for it.

I would LOVE to drive a 7 Series and and M5. Even if I didn't like the brand I still just love driving different $h! and those cars are different, expensive, and fast(M5).

I'll believe GM finally made a truck that's more than a sticker-job when it's finally released.. They've been too good at sticker-jobs for quite awhile now for me to think anything different until it's out. But if it does come out as a gnarly off-road truck.. AWESOME!

The 2 Series is bigger and RWD so it really doesn't have much in common with the 1 other than "replacing" it.The 135i was RWD as wellMy bad. Just saw that. Why in the hell would they go the Mercedes route and dumb it down to FWD?On a side note, Make one little error and three people are there to pounce right on it. RWD. Got it. lol sorry... but in all fairness..i was the first.. ..CAFE.. but then again it is only for the Chinese market so who really gives a $h! here? I don't.. It's a business after all and they have to support the sporty stuff we like somehow. Sell the junk to the country that makes our junk and junk cars.. haha
