The man is getting married to a woman he chose of his own free will so his happiness is decided by him and not open for debate or opinion. He's getting MARRIED, not going out with a girlfriend so her opinion does matter no matter how 'Cavenmanish' (yep, word #2) we want to come off as, we all make sacrifices in a relationship based on our partners wishes.

But to come off and question another man's manhood because he JOKINGLY let us know why he now has to explain to HIS fiance why he went back on his word


makes him less of a 'HE-MAN'

As you said:


Your self respect should also be deteremined by the amount of respect you command from others. Your word is the only thing people cannot take away from you so self-respect starts with living up to what you say you are going to do.

You took his joke to another level and one that is entirely personal.
Couldn't have said it better myself. I'd swear it must be a ton of teenagers in this forum who don't understand the definition of being a "MAN". Bottom-line, if you want to remain selfish and inconsiderate, STAY SINGLE!!

my thoughts hardly contradict maturity. i also didnt say anything selfish or inconsiderate. im sorry you're lacking the capacity right now to see that i was just making a point that you shouldnt allow people to walk all over you and make you unhappy. and from his first post, it seemed/read that way. it was also already established that it was a joke, and we already got rid of my posts and an apology was already given for going offtopic and getting too personal - so give it a rest slick. the only immature one i see right now in this forum is you for trying to come up with witty response to a few comments that were already discussed and dropped.

auto - good luck with the tein CS and the wheels, pics when everythings installed?

I'm not going to reveal the wheel yet because I had to change from the one I orginally had selected so I am going to wait to show them on the car.

Here is my current setup.

Wow- did this thread go wrong!! I've never seen a post on shocks turn into unwanted marriage counselling

CONGRATS AUTOMAN here's my contribution to thread for you......watch out for the top bolt on the CS. It's not tightened by factory and many people don't realize. they also can come loose after a while.

To check/tighten them, you need to hold the shaft in place with one wrench and tighten the nut with another(to about 20-22lbs.)

That is a great pic chuck. Hey Automan congrats on another great purchase. You wont regret the CS, they ride like a dream. Just make sure if you dont install them yourself that when they are done you check the top bolt that Chuck pointed out in his pic. If that isnt tightened you may have problems down the road like I did and have to replace one of your coilovers.
