    Hello,

    Say you have a:

    Mercedes-Benz S550 (Daily)
    Chevrolet Z71 Suburban (Utility)
    Ferrari 360 Spider F1 (Luxury exotic, take to to dinner and special events)

    Now I want a car that I can take on road trips, cruise in, maybe do a quick run it to the other part of town. Now I know you're thinking the Turbo, but the only thing stopping me is I want a car that will also give me thrills, and will make me feel like I am racing on a track, and I know that's what the GT3 is. I like the Turbo better, but I feel the GT3 is better for the thrills area. It's really tough deciding.


    What do you think? Which one? Do you think the Turbo is thrilling enough?

    Get the turbo swap out the suspension to something stiffer and your good to go.

    The short wheelbase of the 1/48 scale 997 Turbo will be the harshest ride.....after all 3" isn't much between the tires......if I were you I'd try for something more in line with your allowance.....maybe a 1/12 scale one......there's almost a foot of wheelbase and it will ride much softer.

    Why do you all think that he is lying? I had already owned a 928S and a 944 by 16 and both paid for, then at 20 I had a 911 Targa and a 328GTS all paid for too. Of course my father bought them for me.

    hahaha!

    Yea, but you in your wisdom did not come to us with "check out my down payment on this 355" that was crap or the "here is a list of my $150k of cars I own" that was also crap.

    So you sir are a Win Win where john here is a fail, fail, fail.

    (But I bet he does well on /b/.)

    Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

    Considering you're the one who spends his life on a website trying to prove people as frauds, and I am going to Dartmouth next year, you're kind of the the FAIL FAIL FAIL and I'm the WIN WIN

    Lastly, you most likely won't believe me considering your ignorance, but I swear on my own life I am telling the truth. I like to make goals of things like what cars I want to own, what houses I want to own, how much I want to make a year etc. because it has been proven that if you make goals they are more likely to be accomplished because you know what you're going for. I was simply making a list of the cars I want to own by age 35. You'll notice in my first post I said "Say you own:" not "I own these cars" I was choosing between the GT3 and the Turbo. It really does sound like a lie, but again I swear on my life it's true. I also swear on my life that when I said "These are my cars" I meant "my family's cars." Considering I am going to Dartmouth next year I am smart enough to realize that even the average Joe would realize that a 17 year would not possess those cars hence I would not pretend I do! On the other hand I do not swear on my life that I put a deposit on a 355 because I admit that was a lie, it was a mistake. But I swear to you everything else I have posted on this site is true.

    Here's my list:

    Mercedes-Benz S550
    Chevrolet Z71 Suburban
    Porsche 997 Turbo Coupe 6-Speed
    Ferrari 360 Spider F1

    For my future wife:
    Land Rover Range Rover HSE
    BMW 645CI Convertible

    I'm not going to waste my time anymore, I've explained everything with legit explanations and I swear to you they're all tue. You're literally finding my grammar mistakes and using those to try to make me look like a fake.

    Farewell,
    John

    P.S. How much does FChat pay you for being a "DrS Enforcement Division/F-Chat Police." Sounds like a great job, what schools do you have to go to be eligible for it?

    I guess thats all a young little brat who had his daddy buy him a Porsche and Ferrari at age 20 can think of saying to me.

    What college did you go to? If its a community college don't even bother telling me.

    Time to re-lax.

    Or else, you'll become ex-lax. Permanently.

    Are you catching my drift here?

    In the mean time, take a 72 hour vacation to consider your options.

    'K?

    Oh, and the rest of you, climb off his case while he's vacationing, he's fair game if he's active, but while on his shortie ban let's just move along.

    Why not rhyme?
    I got the time.
    Someone dropped a dime.
    And lax was mine. :D


    So off he goes,
    Won't step on more toes.
    For him it blows,
    But now he knows.

    Rules are rules,
    We're not the fools,
    Someone's a tool,
    And he's still in High School.



    I could go on all night, but I won't. That's enough rhyme torture for one day (perhaps a lifetime) from me.

    Laxexquis -

    I doubt that you understand what is happening; given that you posted another futile question immediately after having a thread closed for you. So to amplify on Dave's warning, here are your choices:

    1) stop posting and just read
    2) post infrequent, limited, specific questions that are pertinent to your immediate personal interests; not your dad's and not your future hypothetical wife or perfect life some meaningless number of years in the future
    3) get permanently banned after 0 to a few increasing terms as has happened to a number of prior young users that also didn't get it

    I suspect you think you're still being punished for having lied. That puts you on shaky ground, but what we really see is a repetition of an all too familiar pattern. We don't care what cars or how many houses your dad has, what cars you're thinking of buying in a perfect world or 10 years in the future (when many of the cars you're thinking of will be in the junkyard anyway), what school you're going to, what pens you want to buy, what watches you want to buy, how you should wear your suits, etc. All this is nothing more than mental masturbation by another in a long line of prior cases and we've seen too many of them.

    Further it's foolish to display any arrogance about your immediate situation, that may play amongst your immediate peers, but I guarantee you that in every accomplished group (here or Dartmouth), there will be people that have worked harder, made more, achieved higher, and done that with less raw input and greater hardship; as well as people who have been given much and done little.

    Learn quickly or say good-bye.

    Who cares about buying a Ferrari to go have diner. You are buying it for the wrong reason and that is not something Dartmouth will teach you.

    Ok, well I take your advice seriously.

    The only thing I have a problem with is " what pens you want to buy, what watches you want to buy, how you should wear your suits, etc." I never asked anyone on this particular site to care about that stuff.
