Discourse on Method - United Bimmer Community

While reading Descartes Discourse on Method I came upon this passage and realized that there is no right way to have a bmw. You CAN have an automatic and still be an enthusiast! I realize that just because a car has an automatic doesn't mean it's a bad car or that the owner is not an enthusiast. In fact, he could be more of an enthusiast than anyone else. For this I wish to apologize in the error and shortsightedness of my ways. Rooz particularly, after all he has done for UB.

"Thus my purpose here is not to teach the method that everyone ought to follow in order to conduct his reason well, but merely to show how I have tried to conduct my own. Those who take it upon themselves to give precepts must regard themselves as more competent than those to whom they give them; and if they are found wanting in the least detail, they are to blame."

i like this quote better "Your "best"! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen. "

Everyone could learn from that passage.

WTF? Storamin your not cool anymore. Damn, kinda hard to admit, but I think its pretty funny that everytime someone w/an auto posts a kill and Storamin bashes him.. whether I agree with it or not, its still funny!

and when are you going to remove your sig?

**RSF5** · 03-27-2006, 11:35 PM

"and when are you going to remove your sig?"

Why would he do that Stick Shift is still his anti drug, he just doesn't blatantly hate autos and everything related to them in anyway anymore.

xsperf: how do you know Storamin is not just kidding?

**Rooz** · 03-27-2006, 11:41 PM

Thanks man

**xsperf** · 03-28-2006, 12:04 AM

well, i got the sense that he was kinda kidding but he still hated autos, but something leads me to beleive that he is serious about this and he wont bash anymore autos.. hes just not the type of person to blatently lie
