    Hey 355fi, dude stop! It's over you won. You have just kept coming on here for the last two months piling on.....its sick. Yeah this Matt guy lied and he has some issues... So what you won some arguments against him in the past and you smelled his bs... Congrats. But what's with this sadistic quest for complete distruction of a person who is already down?? You're no better man. Go read what you have been writing and for as long as you have. You alone are really keeping this going and it is making you seem crazy to me. If you devoted as much time to a career endeavor as you did to further humiliating this guy who has really done nothing to you and hasn't harmed you in any way, you would probably have a Ferrari of your own by now. Devote your energies to healthier pursuits.

    Noah is not crazy. He just wants to flush Matt out. Several people would like him to man up. Noah is more Obnoxious er I mean Persistant ;) As far as his career Noah is a pretty smart guy and will do well at whatever he does.

    I tried to get the factory to certify my GT4 but it proved harder than I thought. My car was completely restored in 1995 and every body panel replaced except for the roof and engine cover. Apparently there are special identification numbers under the boot lid and inside the headlight pods but, of course, mine weren't there. And then the rebuilt engine number didn't match either. So in the end we gave up. Nice to have but not the end of the world, I guess.

    Keep posting your progress!

    You don't know all of the details. And you don't know Matt. This thread will live on so that nobody forgives and forgets (for the 3rd time!). Matt will come back and pull the same crap, and he may even screw someone over again. I do not want that to happen to anyone. I'm being light on Matt. He deserves far worse.

    Pull what crap? That he lied? So what! That he called people lapdogs? Why would you care so much? He only hurt himself - he didn't hurt you... How did he hurt us? Who did he screw over? And if he did screw someone over, let them worry about it....or let them campaign for this guy's distruction. How did he hurt you?Don't worry his credibility is shot around here so people have known to beware for a long time now don't kill your credibility too with your immature crusade against this guy.... This situation was amusing if anything... He doesn't deserve far worse......a person who pulls this kind of stuff has problems already..he's already in a world of hurt... I was on here when this whole thing went down 2 MONTHS AGO!! Back off the guy and get off your quest to have to punish him.... You have taken this so far that I'm starting to think you have issues. Okay, he's a liar with issues...why do you care so much after so long...?? Don't you have better things to worry about or more productive reasons to be on this forum? Your continued zeal to get him is hurting you... It's not healthy to want to continually beat on this guy... You have stooped below this guy - your behavior is vicious and mean where his wasn't.

    No offense Ed, I was one of the people that got the run-around by Matt Lemus which you would know by this thread. So when I see him getting slammed on the regular basis I dont mind. He is also responsible for driving other people off this site that were not in the wrong - he was and is. Im sure he's reading this stuff and as long as its fresh he'll stay away because banning him doesnt work.

    If you knew the details, then you wouldn't be responding to me in the way you are. I do not need to explain myself because the people that are in the know have no objection to what I am doing.

    Would you consider me in the know on this?

    I've been here long enough to see all of Matt's off the wall behavior. Read all of his lies, and sift through all of his garbage.

    I'm well aware of what he's done, where he's been and what kind of guy he is.

    I also know you, much better than I know Matt.

    I gotta tell ya, I'm getting tired of your relentless pursuit here, too. Although I do admit it is, at times, quite humerous, it has run its course.

    Matt's biggest problem is with himself. Not you, me or FerrariChat. But Matt has had plenty of supporters here over the years in his often vicious attacks on others. There have been plenty of folks willing to jump on his personal assault wagon and add weight to his BS attacks on people who did nothing more than disagree with him, or call him on his BS. Go chase them for a while, remind them of who he is, and who they helped.

    So, wadda ya say there, young fella. Maybe you could let Matt stew in his own juice for a while. At this point, I think we're all pretty vigilant about him, and are prepared to take him down quickly, should he try his stuff on us again.

    So please, find someone else to expose. There are plenty of bozos here right now trying to put one over on us. go root them out.

    I have just read through this thing and I simply cannot believe someone would do such a thing and act in such a manner as this guy Matt. Seriously, what was the point of this, and why present yourself in such a way. There are seriously some very bizarre people in this world.

    You mean (like);

    As bizzare as joining FerrariChat, reading :rolleyes: 33-pages of this nonsense, and then deciding to make this particular spot your very first point of introduction to the board?

    Welcome to FChat! :D

    ROTFLMAO!!!!


    Matt has gone down in history here as a strange cat, but there have been others......

    LAFun2...

    Gentry, the jet airplane salesman...


    Kind of makes the 'Ferrari Art Car' guy seem almost normal.......:rolleyes:

    Go read the '0846 thread' in Vintage it is much more worth the time investment!

    We knew he wasn't gonna blow the $$$ freight two ways back to the Factory, that's just nuts......you can buy every part for the car in the USA or UK..

    Well to tell you the truth I joined this place so I could see the pics in the Dino restoration thread and the pics on John 308 thread. A friend of mine sent the links to them to me and I joined so the pics would show when I opened the thread. As for me I live in Houston. I have a 2004 911, and hope at some point I might be able to afford a Ferrari. I suppose there are some that I could afford now, but I would want to buy one new. I am fortunate that my brother in law has a new 430 with F1 that I can get some seat time in. There is nothing like it. I love cars in general. Anyway, I have been reading this forum a bit, and yes I guess my first post was atypical. Then again it is not every day I see people like Matt become such internet legends for all the wrong reasons. Seems in general people here and over at the 911 (rennlist) site are above the fray. Clearly that is not the case with Matt.

    He first was doing a Boxer resto, and it was obvious he had his hands on someone's from the posts...

    Then he went off his meds or something and claimed to purchase a rare 250 vintage car.......

    The last a final embarressment is this fine thread....

    Meanwhile Speedy308 met up with Zupra and went to New Orleans to see Franco.....;)

    Come on out and meet us at the next Houston Exotic Nights II at Pub Fiction!
    See ya!

    If you are used to a 2004 Porsche and have a 430 in the family, you will be very disappointed in anything less than, say a 355.

    I hope you get your Ferrari one day. Good luck

    Definition of Legend is an unverified story, we verified his to be untrue. Im glad this thread stays fresh so any new-comer can get up to speed, probably keep Matt away longer or keep him lurking.

    Well, he is significant enough that the thread is 34 pages long and continues to grow, even though he hasn't made a post in about the last 20 pages!

    Only with obnoxious people who claim to own cars that they probably don't! You haven't been obnoxious....yet! ;) Just kidding, welcome to fchat. We're not THAT bad! We just get suspicious when someone writes something like:

    hey u guys chek out my new f430 that i bot last week

    You know...looks like a 15 year old typed it on a cell phone using the latest fads in poor grammar, bad spelling and zero capitalization or punctuation. When someone like that claims to have a $200,000 car, we naturally find it amusing to abuse him.

    :D
