    Someone caught what I was getting at when I was bothering him about Columbus! Good for you. I was trying to be very subtle about it then own him on it in a day or two. Unless EVO has moved it HQ there since yesterday I think we can close the case on this troll.

    Troll threat rating .01/10 very weak.

    I still want to know how a 14 year old living in his parent's basement has a SuperAmerica showing up next week (is it there yet Lee?) and a Maranello in the driveway. Where did I go wrong?

    He has obviously been saving his lunch money for quite some time.:) You should have stayed at home instead of working hard as an engineer.

    Thanks,

    All I wanted to know is why a local dealer all of a sudden has 11 elise's for immediate delivery!

    Some dealer in Columbus went bankrupt??
    Mispelled some buisness docmnets and went bnakrutp.
    I sold the jet

    Wish he'd told me more about that 16th wife...

    The strike has REALLY been hard on those hockey players...Fedorov selling his Enzo, and now this...such a shame.

    Hasn't anyone looked at ferrari2005's Bio?

    He/she claims to own an F430 and a GT2.

    Why doesn't he/she take their own photo?

    Also, says nothing about being a writer???

    Regarding Elises, I was taking a walk around Prestige (N. Miami Beach) and I counted 32 Elises just sitting on the lot...I even asked one of the sales people if they were all available...gave me some BS about them being the largest blah blah blah stealer in the country...so I asked again "are these all available now for delivery" and he eventually said "yes" the point is you can pick your price and have any color of the rainbow if you come down here....but regarding the car, its cute/funny looking...it has a Toyota engine...its for all intensive purposes not a usable car except if you want to toss it around on the track (go-cart track) a few weekends out of the year...what made lotus think it would be worth 45,000+ dollars? Its not worth more than $19,995 on a good day (retail) and pretty soon thats what I think they will be trading for....

    Profile was first thing I (and certainly others) checked - nothing was filled out. Blank as an NHL Scoreboard this past season.

    That was then, this is Now:
    Personal Ferraris:
    f430
    Other Cars Owned:
    93 speedster(911),gt2,73 rs,94 mini,silverado ss,dodge viper 01 04,lotus elise,etc

    A] It's going to take quite a bit of "etc." to add up to $2 million.
    B] Take your own picture, copywrite it.
    C] I had punctuation down pat by the time I was six-years-old.
    D] The 73 rs may very well be a '73 Camaro RS, as opposed to a Porsche 911 RS.
    E] Perhaps the '94 mini is a minivan. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Unless it's a stereotypical soccer mom.
    F] I believe the "etc." part the buisness [sic] owner listed under Other Cars Owned - what "etc." means in this case could mean anything.
    G] You can't buy class.
    H] My consience is clear. Helps to not be a pathological liar.
    I] ain't got much, but I'm happy.

    Your DOB is 7/13/05 and you're in Columbus, so It's safe you assume you "play" for the Blue Jackets. So tell me what's wrong here??

    You're right. I actually got a call last week from our dealer here in San Diego offering me a test spin for the fun of it. Last year I had to give them a $2K (I think) deposit to get on the list and take whatever color was available, sight unseen. Now I can pick whatever color I want for MSRP and have it as soon as I can pick it up.

    I sat in the car at the LA Auto Show (only allowed to because I had paid my deposit) and decided it was maybe "too pure" for me. I would guess a lot of early buyers are opting out of the Elise and into something that can do double duty as a sports car and a car that someone wearing a skirt would actually get into.

    This isn't to disparage the Lotus - it is what it is. The reality is that it's a niche car.

    I'd say that this one has been put to bed by the F-Chat police, but I'd like to add one piece of evidence.

    http://www.mazdasaabofbedford.com/staff/index.cfm?CFID=4740635&CFTOKEN=69459890

    That's the staff list of the only Lotus dealer in the State of Ohio. Even allowing for a wrong birthday in the profile, from the roster, Manny Malhotra is the only 25 year old player. The Dealer Principal's name is Klonaris.

    Plus, Malhotra was born in Ontario, so I doubt he'd have that much Columbus pride.

    Somewhat more on topic, I'd really like to have an Elise. And I'm worried about the upcoming redesign.

    I'd love to know where he got all of his information about Columbus - I have many friends there including the Schottenstein family. Too bad he couldn't spell that right either. He must have studied up his AAA travel guide on Columbus real well, frankly I've lived in Rochester, NY my whole llfe and couldn't spit out facts with such precision without a use of a guide on my own city. This kid was an moron and a terrible liar.

    Oh and by the way, when you get locked out - that doesn't mean you are taking a 3/4 salary cut that year (he said he made 1/4 of his salary), that means you are locked out, idiot.
