Well, I'm surprised I've received a response from this twisted fellow. Not surprised though that the tone is still no different. He seems to contradict himself countless times in just this one response. He also seems to think that his influence and inspiration will result in an extreme mass exodus from the club once we "see what we are becoming" according to his perspective. See what you think...
Quote from Frank Cruisaholic M.D. =
"Sir, a simple concept... If Lexus is Toyota then why buy A Lexus? Just maybe
the Land Cruiser name just isnt prestigious enough and so they buy a Lexus. My
opinion is if you don't want the Land Cruiser name, then the association
shouldn't want you. I'm entitled to my opnion just as you are yours. And if a
member voicing his opinion is enough to piss a whole bunch of people off, then no
wonder you need law enforcement on your trail runs to keep y'all respectful,
courteous and sober (ref. Page 3, Toyota Trails, T. Twiddy, Toyota Trails).
Maybe its gonna take someone like me to force you folks to take a good look at
what you are becoming... That in my books is a healthy thing. Perhaps you are
all just not ready. Cheers. "
Again, if it was a simple, " I prefer Toyota to Lexus " or even a " My Toyota will beat up your Lexus " friendly competitive variation, well then that would be cool. Its the whole "my way is purist, yours is perverse, your club officers and mag editors are ARB whores in suits, etc etc etc" that throws me so far off. This fawker stinks of righteousness and yet he is so completely contradictory to his own hatred; "if lexus is toyota why buy a lexus" hmm well, I'd say " if a chevy engine is a chevy engine, how did it get in your Land Cruiser, ohh wait, for that matter how did those Dana's, how did that Allison, etc etc etc?" Again, not that there is anything at all wrong with those mods, I love em on all different rigs for all different reasons, its just that he asserts purist perfection and is so far away from stock and so far away from Toyota! Weird. Ohh for the record, I love all Land Cruiser's whether they are old or new, Toyota or Lexus, stock or Sleeeed ( I especially love Sleeeed though!) , yota powered or cheby powered etc. This dude needs to learn the love and lose the hate!
