I chuckle at a lot of those, but I can't imagine writing them! |

"Smart enough to be the one with the Diablo, not the one reading about it!" I liked this one though. |

That thread was hilarious. Some wit and wisdom from Allan the Humble (spelling mistakes and all): Smart enough to be the one with the Diablo, not the one reading about it! Or are you a Valet parker? Sorry, i have to pick myself up off the floor from the fact that someone would actually admit to driving a Golf! Sorry to hear that! Get a job! If im dumb as and wealthy, what does that make you? Oh,,,,, go out to the garage, lets see, take the Lambo? The Lotus? The Ferrari? Yes, im dumb as ! You should be so lucky! Haha, i stroked a check for over 200,000, more than your home. Your right, im broke! You have to consider the 4 mil for the house. Left me a little strapped.Times are tough, but dont worry, the Murcielago is on its way! I just find it fun to sometimes stir up among the common folk! Actually, i feel for you guys, thats why i come here, to give you guys a glimpse of things you only dream of! Lotus's are pretty cool, i have one of those to! Do you?

I also see the humor in Allan reinforcing a stereotype. And like that there are all sorts of folks contributing all sorts of stuff here. From guys like Gerald L. and L. Wayne (and a good number of astute others aspiring to L. status) to guys like Allan. Glad you pretty much allow the site to self-moderate, Rob. |

Actually, i'm amused by him, Rob, i think it would be too bad if we didn't have that kind of diversion, occasionally. Thankfully, the guys on Kenny's board have no patience, so they went right to hurling personal insults without much foreplay. Too bad, cause i actually like Lambo's, notwithstanding him. |

Allan is an and a jack ass, everyone on here and the other sites he terrorizes know it too. I think he has a right to say most things. I would have to start heavily moderating otherwise. It's just a fact that he'll light a fire every day or two and watch it burn from afar. Pretty funny actually and he's good at knowing which will burn the hottest. I have no respect for him as a person, I don't think the internet is something you can hide behind and act as less of a person than the real world. If he acts like this on the boards, than he's an and jack ass in real life too. With 2,500 users there's very few of him thankfully for us and I can't help to wonder how he feels as a person being one of the few. It's not even like 1%, it's like 0.1%. Some people just have issues and problems and that's it. I have thought about removing him from the site as he's one of the few that doesn't add any value, but stirs up much bad will in the process. |

Sunny, Robin, i'm not putting down the fact that Allan has these cars; the problem is, he's very snooty about it and if you look at his very first post in that thread, he started off being an assh0le... Everyone didn't just start attacking him for no reason... He does the same thing, here... Andrew, where are you, i thought about that picture all night, last night... |

I've driven many exotics, doesn't make me an expert on them. The word of someone who does it for a living means a lot more than some guy who needs a Lamborghini to compensate for his short comings, which are many.

Vincent and Robin, all threads aren't like that, this argument brought out the ugly in the board- as any heated argument on any board (check the flames and shames section here). Most of the discussions are based of a series of pictures our forum members take... Check these out: http://www.exoticcarforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6895 http://www.exoticcarforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6820 and most recently (with the McLaren F1, GT40, F40, F50, Enzo, 288GTO): http://www.exoticcarforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7189 Jordan, Des, I agree with you on this one. Tim, you should have come with me today, got to take out a C2 at the local Porsche dealership . Tommy and I took out a Boxster 'S' last weekend.

If all the threads are like that one, that board has no class so who cares. Also, funny how everyone has to have a long signature with at least 4 quotes and 8 pics.

Send me the pic too please, [email protected] I have to side with Allan on this one, too. At least he owns the cars that people claim other cars they don't own can beat. Bloody fast for a 12 year old car. So what if a Z06 can take it? Armchair warriors, indeed! Sunny |

I dunno, I'm with Allan on this one. Looks like a bunch of jealous armchair racers. Why would they bother signing up on a board called "exotic car forums" when they "...can't see the point of spending more than $35k on a car..." or when they try to compare 1/4 mile times of a Corvette vs a 12 year old Diablo. Seems strange. While keeping his thoughts to himself might be a wise move, these kids should keep their thoughts to themselves regarding real world characteristics of cars they've probably never even seen in person. -R |

I always hate to say something in this situation but I think I should. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions --there are no right or wrong, just different. However, there could be more diplomatic and mature ways of voicing your opinions. Just because a person may be more well off than others, shouldn't give him/her the right to belittle a younger or perhaps less fortunate person...There is just no class behind that logic. Underneath the surface, its not about money, cool cars, or extravagant lifestyles, its about being a good person. Just my opinion, but hopefully others may agree. I dont want to start anything, so for the record, my post was purely generic...not about any one person Andrew, I agree with DES, Id love a high resolution copy as well if you have one.

Cheater, Hondamatic & The Mecca Project had me laughing my ass off... Allan gets beat up everywhere he goes... i don't know why he's so pompous... He must be severely insecure... Allan, if you need to talk to someone and i'm not available, call 1-800-784-2433... Andrew, do you have a high res version of your signature picture from that board - that's gotta be one of the best pictures i've ever seen, EVER... If you do, is there any chance i could have a copy...? Please let me know... Thanks...  |
