This thread is an embarassment and an affront to the forum. I agree that the OP could have been more diplomatic and informed, but geez.

It is easy to rail against someone anonymously -- perhaps too easy. Many posts are written by those who have described themselves as "true Z" people and such. True Z people don't lambaste their comprades -- they offer help and guidance.

I wonder how many of those who were quick to point out that the guy had no balls, was pw'ed,, whatever else came to them, have wives or girlfriends? I mean women whose intelligence is at least twice that of a cornflake. I admire the man for owning up to his reality -- maybe they can't afford insurance, maybe they just had a kid or have medical expenses. No one knows, but it sure is fun to poke fun at him, isn't it?

I have been in the Z community for more than 30 years and own/owned more than a dozen Z's. True Z people aren't the guys whose only experience is with 300's, 350's, 370's. True Z guys have been through thick and thin with their (and other people's) cars. They act as if they belong to a brotherhood and they help each other, they broaden each other's knowledge. It is a sad statement for our forum, and society at large, that so many take the low road.

Makes me ashamed to be associated with those who get their kicks by putting other people down. I could go on, but my license does not allow me to practice therapy for free.
