1. in the old days there were few members and we were all friends, at one time i felt the site was getting bad but since then i've now noticed a vast improvement in the attitude of most members since they too are knowledgeable. it's understandable that there will always be a few people who misuse the site or their rights but that's going to happen in all cases, specially with such a large population.
2. I would rather have a civic since the setup of the car is more to my liking, however i would NOT be paying for it.
3. ther is no end to it, since whatever is in their driveway is best. funnily enough people here are very biased, i take each car on an individual case, usually i favour toyotas (i have 2 at home) but in the civic and corolla war i've always preffered the civic (if petrol is my requirement), we always have civics and corollas in our office motor pool and i always try them out and almost always i'ev preffered the drive of the civic.
4. if the local industry is to improve it should be a case of survival of the fittest, they should lose all govt. protection now since they have been running in "safe mode" for quite some time. once protection is removed it would be up to them to offer a vehicle which would be a better alternative to an import. they are capable of making great cars but they have been spoonfed soooo much that now it's more of a case of "survival of the fattest".
5. i don't think it is that biased, but more of a case of reputation. for example 99.99999999% of the time i'll check out a post or reply by anonpak because i've found his/her posts to be informative, unbiased and coherent, whereas ther are many examples of threads where i will not even open them since they are about "golden numbers" or some other irrelevant stuff.
as for your comments about me, i'm just a normal member liek everyone else and i try to contribute what little knowledge i have in order to improve the inage of pakistan and PW on the world wide web. there are plenty more members who i feel that add more to the PW experience than i do, such as racerf1, aamir567, romano, asadishaque, anonpak, spectra, insaan, hash4u, spiderman, timelessfahad, salarzae, voyager, portage1, ateekt, nickatnite, wik_a, oodhbalow, etc.. every one of them brings their unique flavour to PW and their individual knowledge in the fields they specialize in. Every member has a value on this site, because without members this site is nothing.
