New Stinger spotted with massive quad pipes ...................

That came a bit rude and the wording may not have been appropriate, but I was kinda pissed by that idiot.
I just come here and see people zooming in on a crappy picture while I remember I saw a very good quality one that would help them see whats going on with the exhaust tips.
So I take my time (not saying that mine is more precious than anyone else) to go on the forums I saw it, find the post, take screenshots and then come here upload the pics to share them. And then when I say I don't think its a fake, just a bad picture, I get jumped on by some random guy that just subscribed today telling me that I have no idea what I am talking about and welcome to the world, while that person probably has not a single clue and only knows about his small one dimensional world. Long story short I spend time trying to help, but seeing that kind of attitude makes me not wanting to share any more. I didn't post here to learn new stuff but just to share what I know that some may not.

One, the problem with your revisionist history is that everyone on the internet can go back and see exactly how things played out. I didn't "jump on" you until after you called me a "ignorant" because I didn't fall in line with your whole "Koreans are superior to foreigners" bullshit.

Two, though you desperately crave a pat on the back, you did nothing special here. The picture you posted from your special Korean source is the same one that was posted on the article from westcoastgt. All you did is posted something that was already shared here and then demanded applause for your inside information.

Three, that super secret special Korean forum photo is still photoshopped, no matter how many tears you drop about it.

If you had taken the time to read the post, it consisted of photoshopped images of the South Korean president, not memes.

Yeah I saw the article. Still very different.
Modifying a picture and posting it on a car forum to spread false rumors and confuse people give a kind of satisfaction that people do not seek here.
It is a completely different goal than making photoshopped images to mock a public figure.

"Koreans are superior to foreigners" bullshit.

I never said that. What I said is a completely different thing. Read my post again with your finger.

People just dont do that here.
If the original pic came from a foreign site I would have doubted it.

You might want to go back and check what you wrote, homie. As it stands, your words are the textbook view of a xenophobe. Until someone deletes all of our posts and makes us forget, that'll have to stand.

You have no legitimate reason to believe the pics would be fraudulent just because they were from a foreigner. And you have no reason to believe they are legitimate just because they are from a Korean.

You're just xenophobic. And that's crystal clear.

Unfortunately my American brain is too stupid to figure it out. And my fingers just block the words. Can you slow things down for my stupid western intellect?

Until then...

You're just xenophobic.

You should travel a bit more and see the world.

I am not xenophobic. What kind of xenophobia would it be? I am from a western country myself and just happen to live here because of my work. I do not hold Korean people in higher esteem than other ethnicities or nationalities. Same goes for the other way around.

It is just differences between two completely different cultural contexts.

Are you serious or are you making this up as you go? There are HUGE uproars in SK society regarding photoshopped resume pictures, profile pics, ID badges, etc. These photos have made it into newspapers who have printed retractions to correct the doctored photos. The photos are misleading and confusing to those verifying the person's ID against their in-person appearance. It has caused quite and uproar and many problems. You can't seriously believe that SK people don't intentionally mislead persons or use photoshop maliciously. I think it isn't really a stretch to think someone might alter a car photo for any number of reasons. Given the photo of Biggie Smalls (i think?) in the exhaust pipe, it has clearly had some work done to it.

I personally think it is quite a stretch.

I've traveled the globe, actually. Unfortunately most of the places I've been I wouldn't want to return to. Still I treat everyone as equals until they give me a reason not to (like shooting at me, for example). The "kind of xenophobe" you are is one that gets angry and posts that foreigners are untrustworthy. I really don't care that you said it out of frustration, you still said it. And you then followed it up with a post that all of us foreign dogs should just thank you for throwing us a bone. You really don't see the problems in your posts (regardless of your anger/frustration)?

 

[143GovernaleBobo]

You literally claimed the opposite when you said you trust the source because it's Korean but wouldn't trust it if it was foreign. Are you just screwing with everyone?

Tell me more about it.

 

[143GovernaleBobo]

Correct.

Nope. I won't explain what I already explained above several times. You can go back to my post and read it again, or read it with friends or family. If you still can't tell the difference then it is sad.

I think that what we have learned here today is that car culture today in SK is comprised of modern day "Hwarang" like warriors with an impeccable moral code that doesn't allow photoshop mockery and deceit. I salute you all for carrying on the fine tradition that brings honor to your ancestors. Gosaenghaesseoyo!

It is not an impeccable moral code. It is just different ways of having fun, from my understanding. BTW my ancesters are European what are you talking about..

 

[Flameangel]

Boys !! can everyone just be nice and get along, I get differences of opinions but surely no need for name calling that has gone on for nearly 55 posts

Clearly, I wasn't talking about your ancestors given the obvious references to SK historical figures. You aren't Korean. Having lived in Korea for approximately 2 years, my experience was, and is, clearly different than yours. I'm content to leave it at that. Mom is yelling at me now, so I gotta go...

Ok talk again after dinner.
