Anyone with the word mighty in his name, and two non standard ASCII symbols, is a retarded poser.

Okay, it is camber, negative camber.

All Formula One race cars have negative camber on all four tires.

He and I are talking about a street car, not a race car.

Such people try to emulate the effect and look of negative camber on
race cars.

Well, sure. But the topic is still street cars

Yes, the topic is street cars, but the people are using street cars to
emulate the effect and look race cars. Are you stupid or something, or
just plain stupid?

and insulting someone

more reprehensible than insulting someone who is misdiscussing the same

Stancing of that order is all about the look.

You have a simple mind.

Why are you so negative, so insulting to someone who didn't say a
negative word to you or to us?

You are hopelessly stupid if you can't figure out the reason those
people get the mod is to emulate the effect and look of a race car.

Who said I can't figure it out? I already knew it.

You behave like you can't figure it out. Are you stupid or something, or
just plain stupid?

And even if I
didn't/couldn't, why are you so insulting? If you have indigestion,
take a TUMS. Every time you act like this, you lose credibility even
when you're behaving properly. Ask yourself why you call yourself a
wannabe.
