Interesting you guys bring that up because I wasn't aware of it.

But after looking at both accounts, I'm sure you guys are correct.

Their IP addressed are almost identical

Looka's last post was on Nov 17th just before he got banned and Twinkie joined Nov 18th.

Now isn't that a coincidence

I can see a lot more info in the accounts but suffice it to say, Twinkie is Looka.

Good call guys.

Just because you get someone on the phone doesn't mean they will give you the answer you want to hear. Again, because I used to do with a lot of customer support and tech support I know how it is to be on the other end of the phone. I've had a lot of telemarketers call me and being polite, I don't hang up in their face. But they doesn't mean I waste 20mins on the phone listening to everything they have to say. I will tell them whatever they want to hear to hurry up and get off the phone.

So, no, live calling doesn't get you a more accurate response.

Yeah, you get a robot calling in the middle of dinner you're not going to give good feedback. But you get a survey in the mail or email to sit down and fill out in your own time, you'll do it right.

The other problem with your response is that you're avoiding the Consumer Reports 2012 car of the year award given to Toyota. I guess that's rigged too, huh? lol
The problem with the last part of your post, is that there are literally hundreds of different awards a vehicle can be given. Plus, there are hundreds of different magazines/tv shows/websites that award these "awards." See how I put "awards" in parenthesis?

Car "A" can receive three awards. Let's say it wins Best Family Car from Car and Driver, Best Horsepower to Weight ratio from JD, and Best Car to Second-Guess Buying from Motorsports Magazine.

What awards would you put in a commercial, if you were the marketing guru at the Car "A" manufacturing company? I would be very confident in assuming you wouldn't put the last award in the commercial.

You see where this is going, Twinkie, which, might I add, is a very delicious, albeit unhealthy treat, is that marketing is based on turning a "want" into a "need." A good marketing strategist bases his life on that.

These "awards" are nothing more than a marketing scheme. A company, when making a commercial, will scour the interwebz, media and magazines for different awards they have "won," and include them in their commercial. Really pay attention next time a commercial mentions an award, even write them all down. Go through them after and have a chuckle. All a person usually remembers is that "Hey! It won an award, must be good." you will see how much overlapping these awards are. Like "Best midsized SUV -SUV Magazine," and "Best midsized SUV -Car and Driver."

And don't think I am defending Dodge, although I love Dodges. Dodge is just as guilty as any other car manufacturer is.

You mean all that junk mail I get a week that goes straight to the trash? Yeah, good wholesome feedback they get from a lot of us.

If you want to talk about something, let's talk about your other user I'D and why it was banned?

Whereas toyota owners buy their truck because of the toyota engine.

keep trollin trollin trollin trollin.. huh!

No, actually you're acting like Fred Durst by coming onto a Dodge forum and toting how awesome Toyota trucks are. Go onto a Toyota forum and do that.

Twinkie, you seem to be ignoring my direct post to you. I would appreciate a response. I do not want to request an IP ban for you but if that's what it takes then so be it. Next time you won't come back at all.
