Once again why would we? Things usually start as rumors, like Ferrari wanting to go back to the highest class of sports car racing and then they finally said "yeah we're thinking about it." For the third time I've given you the name of the source who claimed they were assessing a return. Beyond that @
joetruckv8 doesn't have anything to prove.
Prove? What the heck? So if I came on and said Michael Schumacher is back up and signed a contract with Ferrari next year, you'll just consider it a rumor and not ask for a source? If it was just something he heard, he can say so and I'll let it go. I just wanted to know if there was a piece of news I missed. God forbid.
If someone is trying to pass it off as fact then yes there would need to be a source hence why the smart ass analogy you used actually has an effort to prove the "ancient alien theory", which is more than you've done after stating something as fact then trying diligently to revert it back to an opinion while still trying to make it a fact...
It is a fact that F1 isn't part of BMW's strategy and you don't need proof. I'm baffled. Are jet fighters a part of Lamborghini's strategy? No. Why? No ****ing Lamborghini jet fighters, and nobody announced they have plans to make any.
I didn't misquote you those are all things you've said, and my reply is a normal reply to how someone would see or understand what you are saying or perhaps implying. If I did misquote you I suggest you report my post. I would.
I don't like reporting posts every chance I get. It's amazing how trigger happy you guys are with these things.
Here's the misquote
you said the system failed,
When? By calling it dead? Dead steering is an expression that it doesn't provide feedback Mr. Expert.
then you called it a glitch,
Nope, I said it's NOT a glitch. Here:
Recall? Why would they recall the car??? The steering is simply lifeless, it's not like it's a glitch. I only hope they patch their software for the M3/M4 that I'm not planning on buying anyway.

It must be a common trend, because you said the same thing of other users as well (e.g. PM)
There's quite a few of you that always to either mis-read what I post or scream for proof, yes. PM is one of them.
Should I have to, I didn't know this was a courting ceremony and I was trying to get you to go on a date with me. Also yes if you state BMW are more expensive than others you need to prove it, it needs to be quantified
. You can't just shoot off random opinions as facts.
Yes you have to, I made it pretty damn clear I took inflation under consideration. You chose to nitpick what I said by claiming I didn't.
The BMW discussion is way off topic here, as I said in my first response to you. I'm trying to minimize the discussion. Besides, it isn't something hard to quantify. If you look at most of their models side by side, you'll find that BMW > Audi = Merc. In the past BMW was noticeably cheaper. Either take that or don't. If you expect me to drive to the local dealers and ask them for pricing history, you're insane.
Um you'd be wrong I myself wasn't sure and actually I went back and checked it to make sure you were right, I even have the post.
Yeah I sure did confuse it with another track, and look at the massive amount of confidence I have too.
Ok, then it must've been another incident where you sounded confident.
My bad. I was thrown off by niky's post in the Bahrain GP saying the Schumi/Barrichello incident happened at the wall of champions.
Because you say so? I don't have to do anything but if people want to have an intellectual conversation on matter which is what GTP strives for (to me) then I expect it from others.
There are certain topics and places where you can have "intellectual conversation". A grand prix, on an internet forum is not one of them. If it's your thing spending countless hours gathering "proof" and archiving it just so you can share an opinion(which does not require proof), go ahead. Whatever makes you happy. Really. Just don't expect me to do that. It's one of the reasons I don't post as much here unless I'm very tempted to. Such as when someone said "Lewis is in another league" in the Chinese GP thread. Things like that make me cringe.
Finally, was that so hard?
Did it really make that much of a difference to you? Honestly if every time I went out with a friend and said something, then got asked to provide proof, I'd have gotten a stroke a long time ago.
Well that's fine, and you'd be right to ask for a source from the user in question, but you don't ask for a source and then state something in return that also needs a source. And then when questioned throw your crayons against the wall as if getting picked on. You aren't anyone special and you don't get to play some double standard.
Earlier in the same post you said he doesn't need to provide proof. Now you're saying I was right to ask. Ok.
As for the the strategy bit, covered. Won't respond to it again. Sorry.
Um when did I ask you to provide a source for what a driver said on TV? Don't misquote me after crying wolf that me and another user are misquoting you. AT least I gave you the respect to go back and pull up your post and requote them to show you why I'm understanding things the way I am in regards to your writing.
I quoted your post too
We happy?
