Instructions
1. Stay calm when your feelings are hurt and allow time for yourself to completely cool off.

2. Think before you speak, or you may lash out with words that you can't retract and regret the consequences.

3. Prevent misjudging by not presuming the other person's intention. You may pass judgment incorrectly and make the situation worse. Ask yourself if the person's intent was deliberate or if it's unintentional.

4. Walk away from situations that may cause you to retaliate or seek revenge.

5. Try to put yourself in the other person's shoes and understand why he acted the way he did. It's a lot easier to forgive when you can understand the reason for someone's behavior.

6. Approach the person that offended you and express to her that she hurt your feelings by her behavior, actions or words. It's healthier to resolve the concern than to let it sit and debilitate you. However, be careful how you phrase what you say so that you do not appear to be antagonistic.

7. Choose to be not offended and avoid self-pity; you are only hurting yourself.

8. Forgive, overcome oversensitivity and seek to be at peace with yourself.

9. Pray for the ability to let go of hurt feelings.

Not in the dry either, in my experience. M3 owners just can't put the power down, so it's a bit of a walk in the park as long as you make them start from a dig or if from a roll, in 1st gear.

Remap + crank pulley + decat M3 vs. RS4 with just piggies (no remap)

M3 best of the day 12.87 @ 114 MPH
RS4 with piggies best of the day 12.47 @ 113.7
RS4 bone stock (me) best of the day 12.83 @ 109.9 (below, vs a B8 S4 with remap and exhaust)

hardly serious. Just fun keeping cocky M3 owners feet firmly planted on the ground.

quit being such a baby. You think i was being serious about bambam? I think bambam is hilarious. I'm sure he knows that.

Anyway, I'm reasonably sure I get in more <beep> on forums than anyone for taking the piss out of people.

p.s. the B7 platform generalizations are tired. Now run off and polish your wood interior trim :).
