You have a problem, Totti. When someone posts facts that disagree with your viewpoint you have a problem with the facts. You get angry at them, and angry at the person who posted them. Those are telltale signs of someone who is not only very biased but is willfully ignorant.

Look, I do more research than the vast majority of people on these cars. I then try to post reasonable conclusions from my extensive research. You're free to reach your own conclusions. In fact I welcome different conclusions because there are plenty of sides to a story.

The first time you replied to me you blew up about how I'm completely wrong that the M3 looks better in lighter colors. The simple truth is I posted that fundamental well established art principles agreed that the M3 looked best in light colors, and I mentioned that out of several dozen talks with M3 salespeople even without solicitation they said lighter colors looked better and never said darker colors looked better. I then drew the conclusion that lighter colors look better. All of that is very reasonable and you are very unreasonable to have the problems with me that you do.

That's all I have to say to this.
Legion, I think Totti's issue (and others) is that you present "facts" when they are often really just your opinion. You also are a self proclaimed expert on everything and now you design supercars to boot! So you are a professional photographer who is an expert on color that designs supercars with weight and balance in mind. You can see why many are skeptical

It isn't as though your comments aren't useful but they aren't always the "facts" you want others to think they are. You also sometimes tend to have very bold claims like having polled "dozens" of SA's on light vs dark M3s. We all know that is a load of hooey Anyway, I think Totti's issue isn't you or what you are saying, it is how you are passing off opinion as fact and holding yourself out to be more of an "expert" than anyone else here.
