And while we're on the subject of pet peeves, I wonder how many of those whining about their precious freedom of keyboard have actually worn a uniform in combat, lined up their gunsights on a bad guy and pulled the trigger while rounds were popping all around them and people were getting killed?

Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.

I wouldn’t call yourself obnoxious. Maybe just a little misunderstood because some people may not know much about you. For instance, did a little short or big yellow school bus pick you up when you were a kid?

Heres mine!!

Please don't tell me that because "Jerry" has an A12, that he is just a good old boy and that we all have to give him a free pass for his obnoxious tendencies. Maybe he used to get a free pass from within the safe confines of the somewhat exclusive A12 forum, but times have changed.

Boy you must have been dancing naked in the streets when they closed down the A12 forum

I wonder if this thread would have been locked long ago (for obvious reasons) if someone wasn't peddling carpet?

No, a more rational explanation would be that the MODs are actually enjoying seeing the instigators squirm when they see their reflections exposed by means of a different mirror.

Step right up and get your genuine, imitation, original, replica, imported, domestic, authentic, reproduction, .......

What is the big deal? If it weren't for guys like Dave and others, the repop market would be a fraction of where it is today. These guys strive to bring to market, the most correct pieces and a lot of us benefit, even a guy like myself who isn't a correct freak, but would much rather have something better to put on his car, than just something okay, thanks.

Aint that the truth!!!!!! I welcome ANYBODY making correct products!! We can only benefit. I think most questions should be held until the FINAL product is released. THEN, ask away!!!

Lets see now….. more than 4 years; over $7K invested; approximately 260 working hours (plus) and zero return on investment.

---

So there is no "FINALLY! FACTORY EXACT AUTO CARPET!!!" ?

Then why did you start the thread?
