Love it how Trumpettes out themselves at every step.

Ok, "citizen of the world."

Love how morons draw incorrect conclusions without hesitation or any actual thought. This was not a political discussion and shouldn't become one. This isn't a political forum nor the purpose of this thread.

Unfortunately stats mean nothing anymore because you can’t trust they weren’t manipulated, safer to assume they are. China not showing in the top 5 worst Covid countries... please!, it hit there first and no protocols were in place. It seems clear they arent reporting accurate stats. Trump’s lie count is higher then all previous Pres’s combined, safe to say he had no motivation to tell the truth and his response and response of many states is deplorable... so yes wear a freak’n mask!!! That said, I’m fine if you don’t, just stay close to the others without a mask not the rest of us and with any luck Darwinism will take over.

I guess mask-shaming is the new thing now.

Yes disease spread shaming, racism shaming, sexist shaming... all things now. Kinda should have been a thing forever but better late than never. You might want to join the party.

They do, but countries count the deaths in different ways. Some only count deaths in hospitals, whilst some count all deaths in a care home as Covid, even if only one death was confirmed as being due to Covid, so there is lots of variation.

came to read car shit and got stuck with bull shit.

How are people spending time talking about masks and Covid here? God, TDS is absolutely real.

How? Look to the beginning of the thread, and you'll see an ignoramus blathering about how it's "good" to "see a video without masks". That's how.

Responsible people then called him out on the utter stupidity of that statement, as they should. I hope that everyone keeps doing that, regarding all issues, and we stop the implicit acceptance by hiding behind "it's a car forum".

I definitely don't want to be a part of any forum, car or otherwise, where ignorant rednecks can slip in remarks like that unchecked, and have other rednecks defend them by piling onto others who responsibly call out such behaviour.

Here, here!! We only get the new world we want if we do something to get it. Keeping quiet hasn’t worked. Time for change.

On the car front... those of you tuning the engine, do you track or just love the extra speed for e eryday thrills? I don’t track and if I did I can’t imagine I’d do it often but I do love speed.

Great comment. Adds a lot to the conversation. Such thought and factual evidence. Well done.

I've got RaceChip GTS installed on my N20 (28i RWD) and it's been absolutely amazing so far. I've noticed slightly better gas mileage driving casually and major boost compared to stock while driving enthusiastically.

I definitely wouldn't mind rolling around in a B58 xDrive boosted with RaceChip GTS though! I'm sure it moves swiftly. Talk about bang for your buck.

So we should censure people now just because we don't agree with them?!? Got it! The new America.

Nice strawman, but no dice. No one "censored" him - maybe you should look up what that means.

Calling out people on the stupid, passive-aggressive statements? Hell yes, every time.

Censure. See my autocorrected edit. In any case, the level of virtue signaling and racial epithet usage from the "citizen of the world" is apparent. So classy! Such richness added to the conversation. You have definitely proven your ascension beyond us. Bravo!

"Censure" makes even less sense, since the very meaning of "censure" is expressing disagreement with someone's position.

Just in case it's not clear: Yes, I will always express disagreement with a reckless, harmful, inconsiderate opinion, rather than give it tacit approval by keeping quiet. The world would be a better place if more people did that. Notice, I speak for myself only, not trying to amplify my statements behind assuming "us" like you do.

Tacit approval?!? It's a damn car forum dude. Get off of your soapbox. Everything stated here doesn't need to be so politically charged nor politically corrected. You are an example of the problem.

P.S. You expressed disagreement with his position and then began labeling him a "redneck." You cast aspersions while simultaneously losing equanimity.
