Those are very nice flames, and they look great on the car, I'd love to see many more pictures of the flames and the car itself. An awesome free flowing tribal design, which I'm wondering if the pattern was transferred to the other side to match.
And hey, I know flames pretty damn well, since I designed many patterns for others' cars a few years back. It doesn't hurt that I can also airbrush and pinstripe, real pinstripping at that.
Don't listen to a single person that doesn't like them. And hey, all that really matters is that you like them, but it just so happens they are wicked cool, lol.
I'd have flames on one of my cars if it wasn't for the fact that they'd cause me to drive too aggressively. I mean come one, flames=badass, so that means driving it like ya stole ya and just did a bank robbery.

Our opinion was asked for and given and I happen to be one of the people who don't like the concept of putting flames on cars. However, I do think his flames look nice and gave props, it's just not my style. My point? Your suggestion of ignoring the opinion of those of us who don't like the flames is faulty on two levels. #1, he's already got them done, and #2, we didn't offer our opinion, it was asked for.

I'll play..........
To ignore someone and not listen to them are two further from the same.
If I were to ignore you, I would simply block out any sound or writting in this case from my eyes and ears. To listen or not to in this case means to hear/see something with thoughtful attention or to give consideration to or absorb what is being said or written.
Ignore:
Main Entry: ig·nore
Pronunciation: ig-'nOr, -'nor
Function: transitive verb
Inflected Form(s): ig·nored; ig·nor·ing
Etymology: obsolete ignore to be ignorant of, from French ignorer, from Latin ignorare, from ignarus ignorant, unknown, from in- + gnoscere, noscere to know -- more at KNOW
1 : to refuse to take notice of
2 : to reject (a bill of indictment) as ungrounded
synonym see NEGLECT
- ig·nor·able /-'nOr-&-b&l, -'nor-/ adjective
- ig·nor·er noun
Listen:
Main Entry: 1lis·ten
Pronunciation: 'li-s&n
Function: verb
Inflected Form(s): lis·tened; lis·ten·ing /'lis-ni[ng], 'li-s&n-i[ng]/
Etymology: Middle English listnen, from Old English hlysnan; akin to Sanskrit srosati he hears, Old English hlud loud
transitive senses, archaic : to give ear to : HEAR
intransitive senses
1 : to pay attention to sound <listen to music>
2 : to hear something with thoughtful attention : give consideration <listen to a plea>
3 : to be alert to catch an expected sound <listen for his step>
- lis·ten·er /'lis-n&r, 'li-s&n-&r/ noun
I'll bet one or more of these apply to you??
* you eat the M&Ms in color order.
* you fold your dirty clothes before putting them in the hamper.
o you have to have all boxes in the kitchen facing the same way and in order by size.
o you have all your canned goods organized by type, flavor, and use.
o and they're all facing the front.
o all you books, CDs, and movies have to be alphabetical order.
* you require no less than 200 threads per inch on your sheets.
* ...and they are tucked so tightly that you really could bounce a quarter on them.
* you alphabetize your spices.
* you actually bother trying to convince someone that the 3rd millenium hasn't begun yet (or that it *has* begun).
* you organize your closet by color, season, and fabric.
* you flame every person who sent you email because the emails weren't spelled correctly or gramatically correct.
* you remove the tires to wash inside the wheel-wells of your vehicle.
* you collect the little postcards in magazine issues...
* ...for recycling.
* every e-mail reply that you send has been through a grammar checker...
* ...and you correct the original message.
* you're on a "calorie-counting" diet and you count the calories in the hot sauce on your "Big Beef Burrito Supreme"
Now, before you lash out with a nasty reply, remember one thing........
I'll bet you thought I was going somewhere with this didn't you??

you must have some time to kill at work.
seeing as how ignoring is the polar opposite of listening, when the statement is made to "not listen to", it's the same as saying "ignore". The act of ignoring means to refuse to take notice of, and if you are refusing to take notice of my writings here then you are not hearing/seeing with thoughtful attention and if you are not hearing/seeing with thoughtful attention then you are not listening. Me 1, you 0
After reading your list of things in an attempt to confirm my "anal-retentiveness", I am relieved to be able to say that not one of the listed applies to me.
Carry on

LOL...... What makes you think I am working today? That was not a very intelligent assumption on your part, although yes I do have a job and I could be at work there is still a good chance I might not.
You've made my point for me already.

He made the suggestion not to listen to those opinions that were not those of the owner of said flames. At no point and or time did he note to ignore the opinions of said rogue poster.
let me post the def of listen for you one more time:
Main Entry: 1lis·ten
Pronunciation: 'li-s&n
Function: verb
Inflected Form(s): lis·tened; lis·ten·ing /'lis-ni[ng], 'li-s&n-i[ng]/
Etymology: Middle English listnen, from Old English hlysnan; akin to Sanskrit srosati he hears, Old English hlud loud
transitive senses, archaic : to give ear to : HEAR
intransitive senses
1 : to pay attention to sound <listen to music>
2 : to hear something with thoughtful attention : give consideration <listen to a plea>
3 : to be alert to catch an expected sound <listen for his step>
- lis·ten·er /'lis-n&r, 'li-s&n-&r/ noun
Don't take my word for it, all you have to do is pull that dusty book off your shelf called a dictionary to understand the differences of the two.

Actually, considering that most people work the day shift mon-fri it was the most intelligent assumption.

if you aren't listening, then you aren't paying attention to what's being said, and if you aren't paying attention then you aren't taking notice of what's being said. And if you aren't taking notice, then you are ignoring what's being said.
