Hey, nobody has the right to tease or put down another human being, regardless of their spelling. It is wrong, disrespectful, and rude. I do understand your point about this being an MB forum, but she came here for a reason. Now, I don't know if she is who she says she is, but if she is, then don't you think you'll have wanted to be a little nicer?? I mean c'mon, you are being a little immature don't you think?!??!?

Have you read the threads in OD?

or are we just feeling a bit chivalrous?

Jeesh man, this thread is a put-on.

Hey, what you guys know about Metropolitans?

The original Metropolitans were a decent club. The team formed in 1962, not so much in their early years.

... there is one thing you will learn about "maturity". What's "nice" anyways?

Nope.

I think this girl is lazy because she apparently places little value in the written medium, expressing herself without even a basic attempt at 3nd grade spelling. I find this mindset insulting to the forum as a whole since we all have to read it. This is not Twitter, Im not reading a Tweet, spell the name of your car correctly or don't ask about it. Harsh? I don't think so, what would you think if someone kept asking for help on their Marsedes? It would be annoying.

In my opinion, there is an important difference between Grammar and Spelling when posting on the internet. Grammar is less verifiable, and is more intuitive to how someone was trained to write. Internet Grammar is sort of a shorthand these days, and correct grammar is not particularly important. For example, in my post you are reading, it is riddled with dozens of grammatical mistakes, but the point is still clear.

Spelling is easily verifiable, and there is no excuse for not taking the 2 seconds it would demand to discover if you have spelled something correctly, especially the name of your own car!

Porsche is a difficult word, and I also automatically misspell it, but the difference is I opened a new page, typed it into an online dictionary, and viola! I could spell it correctly for the forum to read.

She seems like the type of person who would misspell her own name, and wouldn't care. Why should she deserve help?

If she decides that maybe there is value in spelling "Porsche" instead of "Porche" since she demands help on that subject, well then maybe she deserves a second chance, but otherwise she seems too lazy to even care. Additionally, there is the wrong forum issue, also attributed to laziness in my book. I have no patience with this kind of nonsense, sorry. She seems like a lazy little kid skating on the "I'm a girl and should be helped" party line.

Plus, there is the possibility that this might be a 62 year old man.

You have to put skinny tires on them because the fender wheel openings aren't very generous in size.

Because they want your money.

I treat others the way I think I should treat them.
Guess what, there are more nasty, rotten car customers and tire kickers out there than ugly car salesmen. Walk in a car salesman's shoes for a few years and see for yourself.
Today's niceties have long reverted to annoying obligation and restrictive ground rules.
Like putting a smiley face sticker on your refrigerator to make you feel happy every time you step up to the door.

Personally, I don't perceive it as "nice" being told to be nice.

My understanding is you would prefer "fake" niceness, vs honesty. Is that correct?

Sorry, thats not how the real world works. A car dealership is there to get your money as Swede points out. Part of that is telling morbidly fat people how thin they look, and offensively smelling people how nice their perfume is.

Its an act. With honesty, you at least know where you stand.

I plan on being a car salesman for several years, and even owning a Mercedes-Benz dealership.

Cute little dreams. Face the facts, life is hard, you don't always get what you want. Being a salesman will not make you enough money to buy a dealership, much less an MB. Grow up, you cant have nice cars like mine, unless your parents have lots of money they can share with you.

How nice of you to introduce yourself to the forum. I'm surprised you don't have a motor coach.
