    Very Hot pics, too bad some people here ran the guy off.

    I followed that Thread and it seemed it was the people here who didn't have Ferrari's who gave him the most crap.

    I hope the jackoffs with Mustangs are happy they ran off a guy with 1 of 399 cars in the world.

    Nothing like reading the insights into driving a Mustang 1 of 250,000 vs hearing LV_Eric's insights into a car that has less than 399 left in the world.....

    Way to go

    BTW- now that we know the guy is the real deal, and he actually has an Enzo, I'd be curious as to how many people in the other Threads that bashed him also have an Enzo?

    I am betting that of 50 people who posted negatively, 0 have an Enzo.

    Actually, that Enzo looks like the one Ali Haas bought. Has dealer tags that look like the same dealer as the one he got his from.
    So, not necessarily owned. Got plates and a VIN?

    I hate to say it to the non-believers...

    But here's a pic from 6speed back when I used to follow the board closely..

    Yes, that is the same 6.0 in the picture next to the enzo. Look at the wing :)

    I don't doubt it's real. Easy enough to find out.

    Renee: what are you, a kiss-ass or a cheer leader? I wasn't bashing him but I seriously doubt the guy was goign to post "insights into a car that has less than 399 left." I'm not defending the others, but we have enough enzo owners to supplant, and the community was fine as it is.

    While not directly related, this issue can be traced to another issue i have about Credible and potentially awesome users of Fchat being scared away.

    But the guy did sound like a complete Tool. I feel sorry that we havnt shared some of his enthusiasm for Cars here on fchat.

    But at the end of the day, the guy came across like a complete Fwit and one which i would much rather i continued my fchat experience without.

    I only respect his cars. Like we all should. Not his 600 employees. Or his prince home. Or his 3 watches to the value of $1M....

    He can go shove all those "toys" where he might quite like it.

    Yeah it is too bad...

    Not to expose Eric's life but I have some pictures.. Notice the white phantom when he is standing with those 2 other guys, then notice the white phantom in the garage. Look at the style of the house, and the style of the house in the enzo picture.

    And look at the Green Murci.. not only is there a picture of his green murci with the yellow 6.0, that is also the same 6.0 with the enzo. And yes, that just might be the same green murci in the picture with the girls...

    take a look at http://media.putfile.com/BUG180 whenever you who doubted have time..

    Renee,

    After the first few posts in the original thread, there wasn't much doubt that he had what he said he had. He also might be a nice guy in person, however he did not come across well initially and then got flustered by a few critical posts. Even the most admired people on F-chat take some flack, if he can't deal with it then he shouldn't participate. At this point, these treads are just providing entertainment.

    By the way, one of 399 is not rare in the realm of Ferraris.

    Regards,

    Art S.

    Renee -

    You seem to be very focussed on this as you've posted the same point 3-4x.

    First, he wasn't "run off", he chose not to come back after a few posts he didn't like, despite an overwhelming welcome.

    Second, he was not an innocent poster, he went ballistic with a hate posting elsewhere based on a couple of unfortunate, but realistically mild, questioning posts (one of whom apologized later BTW):

    "i hate those ***s and i'm going to make it my lifes mission to piss them all off"

    It would certainly have been better if those posts hadn't happened, but his response was all out of proportion and ignored the people who welcomed him.

    Third, if you want an idea of the kind of reviews he might have contributed, try comparing these two:

    LV Eric's Veyron Impressions

    Dr. Who's 330GTC Driving Impressions

    I don't know about you, but I got a lot more out of Dr. Who's. Eric spent most of his post informing us that the Veyron had DSG, which was a surprise to him, but well known to any car junkie.

    Fourth, as has been pointed out, Enzos are hardly rare in this user group. Now that you're here, hang out at a few FChat gatherings and, over time, some of the quieter members will eventually show up and you can ask them their driving impressions personally.

    Fifth, I'd recommend that you look to the qualities of the person, not the size and quantity of their possessions, before being impressed by them.

    Best,

    Yin
