And my first haters making comments.
Speaking of which, how do you guys deal with trolling haters? Dismiss or just leave them in the uncommented/unrecommended section?

Personal attacks, dismissed. Just trolling/complaining, ignored.

I can't remember who, but I think someone said the standard response to haters on oppo is an off-topic comment about Threes Company jumping the shark:
"Even with the addition of veteran actor Don Knotts to the cast, I feel like Three's Company really jumped the shark after the Ropers were spun-off into their own sitcom. The show really peaked during the Suzanne Somers years."
It usually confuses the hell out of them and they go away. Awesome article, by the way. Hopefully someday, after high school and college, I will consult it for my first supercar!

Usually if they have a hating argument that is somewhat coherent and substantial, I like to chime in with a logical argument, sometimes even agreeing with them or admitting that I was wrong...otherwise, I ignore it and let it fade away into the greyed out comment abyss :)

Awesome article dude. Congrats!
And yea, haters gonna hate, and also comment on the internet. In fact, I believe those are the two top hater pastimes: hating, and internet commenting.

We don't get many haters on these sites. Screw them if they do. You can always get a bro hug around here if your feelings are hurt.

It feels good being an internet celebrity for a day, doesn't it? Heh. Congratulations on your hard work, you deserve a chocolate fish! * puts it into Battery's mouth * I've had two of my posts on the front page with 0 trouble among the commenters because they have "Warning: unfriendly comments will be dismissed" on the bottom. It worked surprisingly well, haha. If you get a lot of unfriendly comments (trolls, personal attacks, whingers, etc.), use the dismiss button. It's there for a reason.

Fantastic first stab — reads extremely well!
If and when folks get to hating, just remember what Biggie said:
"I see the gimmicks, the wack lyrics
that shit is depressing, pathetic, please forget it
mad cause my style you admiring
don’t be mad, UPS is hiring..."

I read your article yesterday and was disappointed because it didn't look like the boys upstairs were going to promote it, but then I saw it today. Congrats dude! It was a really good article with information that I never get to hear from regular auto journalists.
I usually ignore if they are just trying to be trolls or have an opinion that is different to mine. I try and respond to those who don't look like they know any better; this caught me in a hard place a while ago on Oppo:
I was not going to vent about this, but you brought it up... Here is someone I tried to teach some things reasonably and rationally, but he didn't want to learn anything and was either completely ignorant on purpose or wanted to make me angry, which I didn't end up doing.

Yeah, mine was just one guy thinking I was hardcore bragging about my profession when I gave a single line for context about the butterflies in the stomach feeling. Something about how if I were a Navy Seal it wouldn't matter what situation I'd be comfortable. And another talking about how a SLS is just a Chrysler muscle car with Mercedes build quality. Also something about a "real supercar owner" does things like throwing some blizzaks on it and hooning it all winter in the salt. They also do things like when Bam Margera let a guy make him a targa lambo with a hand saw. My only reply would have been about how some of us know the value of a hard earned dollar and don't trash cars for the hell of it, but I figured I would be wasting my breath.
No biggie.

I need to see a video of an SLS drifting with gullwings up.
