An oft quoted proverb goes: "A man is known by the company he keeps". In the car community, this might be revised to "A man is known by the car he drives". More specifically, in Pantera land, a further revision could be: "A man is known by the modifications he makes to his Pantera". In MS's case, ego trumps taste in his attempt to imitate the interior of a car he probably wishes he could afford (see attached pictures). In his defense, at least he didn't plaster the fenders with decals of a black horse rampant on a field of yellow shield!

There have been a number of times that MS has responded to posts I put out on there on the previous forum in a way that made me wonder why I bothered to post at all. It took me a while to distinguish between the several Mikes that posted on the previous forum - it was the short one that I figured out first - and I quit reading his responses. Especially when I realized that he really doesn't know it all, and that his technical guidance was flawed as often as it was correct. I know that the short is doing his best to put together his idea of a better POCA site. And I know it will offer a lot. No doubt. NTL, his amazing ability to piss folks off with his truly marginal interpersonal skills is well known, and totally inappropriate for a person in his position. POCA is not this forum - and, well, vice versa. 3 years ago, when my wife and I bought 5332, I likely would have put up with the shorts crap to get what we needed - as I did in the past. Today - well, 5332 is a dream to drive, and I have this forum. Tell me again what POCA does for me - other than to remind me that some folk make terrible leaders? Stephen Nelson
