    The 99 Spider is 99.9% a scam. They're just hoping you wire funds because no one is going to fly to North Dakota to take a look. If it's too good to be true...

    I'm a big fan of Falken's relatively new FK510's. I put them on pretty much every daily driver performance car when available. Nice tread pattern as well looks OEM.

    Michelins PS4S though can't be beat.

    Called again today for fun...no answer. The returned calls I've had were at odd hours. I suspect maybe the guy is in a completely different time zone.

    Today I learned!

    Regardless...bang for buck they're a great tire. It's no replacement for the Michelin PS4S though.

    Not sure if you saw my earlier post but they are just pulling images from another dealer and editing the dealer plate. 100% scam

    Amazing. This michelautosales.com is clearly 100% a scam. It's the best one that I have seen though I am no expert.

    I ran a whois on the domain and it came up this:
    Image Unavailable, Please Login

    I googled that address and there are many websites tied to that specific address and coincidentally the very first result is a thread on "bitcointalk" warning people that another scam site is up
    https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2126594.0

    I feel we need to do something or someone is going to get taken advantage of. What can we do?

    I really admire the inventory. Where else can you buy a F355, GT3RS and, a 2002 Chrysler 300M listed for $3,999?

    This is normal. It's just a private whois registrar. Millions of websites use them.

    I'm still 50/50 on it being a scam or just an owner that doesn't care to sell anything since they're personal cars.

    Definite scam. No idea why, but no doubt.

    His personal cars with photos pulled from another dealer and photoshopped? Best of luck!

    Well that "scam" car was definitely a price outlier.

    Verde Spider over $110k and lots of time left! Wow! $55-60k car a few years ago. Crazy. Love it!

    Spiders will be $250,000 by the end of the year. :) Collectors will be dumping Berlinettas for spiders. :D

    Nice! Love my GTS, but there’s just something about a top down spider.
