    Wow, thats is embarrassing! I am not up to date with the abbreviations.

    Well it's nice to nice there are no flaw with the Enzo.

    I am sorry to here my "story" is kiddish as I am just here to discuss cars.

    Though, I see, through what other people have been telling me there are a lot of "posers."

    The darker colors supposedly have the stronger resale because all the nice aluminum bits contrast better. More cars were built in silver and that was how the car was first introduced. Just google images of the car and you can probably see all the colors.

    Scroll back up and take a look at the IP addresses.... pretty much explains it all. Google "James Dinan"
    There are a million of them. Are you the one in the article? Haven't a clue. But guessing not.

    After overlooking the posts, I see that my IP address matched up with apparently something it shouldn't have.

    Well, I happen to be an expert in that subject and be to able to explain why.

    Back in 2007 I was almost a victim to identity theft due to my IP address over the internet. I had my computer-guy program all my computers to work off a proxy for safety.

    All users on the same proxies share the same IP address, apparently another user on this website was using the same Proxy hence we are listed as a match.

    Now hopefully we can get back on topic at one point. I did not know that this was such a huge issue on this forum!

    And yes, I am the James Dinan on Forbes, I don't want to be conceded, but it is getting to the point where I would like to show some assets.

    Interesting choice of spellings :D

    You will need a THICK SKIN to get established here. Take it from me.
    Just move on and talk cars and quit popping into this thread.

    No one here cares who you are - it's a tight bunch but BS gets sniffed
    out FAST.

    Go post and have fun.

    That is due to automatic-spell check and me typing too fast on the key board!

    Wow, I never met a more dubious forum!

    Further to the point, NO ONE CARES about a poster's assets. We have poor folk,
    rich folk, famous folk, and utter nobodies with a Honda, 3 kids, and work for the
    Post Office. Only the content of posts matters at F-Chat.

    I never thought any here cared about who I was nor did I want to tell anyone-until I started to be questioned causing me to tell you of who I am! I hate telling people who I am even over the internet and I tried not to do so, but I was kicked off and accused of being some sort of impostor!

    Again, I did not go about telling every one about my assets until I was kicked off and accused.

    I came on here solely to talk about cars, I would love it to just continue that.

    Be nice Jedi! Hondas are awesome! :D

    James, we all have a nice side, but you can't blame ID theft and IP matching up with another previous users to be a damned coincidence.

    Come clean and this wouldn't have been a problem, we like honesty.

    Tries to stay humble despite fortune: "I pretend it's not real money so I don't forget I'm just a kid from Worcester, Mass."

    Ah, just a kid from Worcester :D

    But it is real money.

    Well, first off, I have been criticized for telling people about my life, and I don't like doing it, but if I must-

    At one point, I had sent some of my loyal hedge fund investors a Glass Apple. It may sound funny, but as my grand father owned an apple picking company, to me, an apple represented prosperity resulting in me sending a glass apple to my most loyal investors. Of course it also represents New York City (big apple), we all work there hence that was also fitting.

    Here is the apple I sent them:

    Here is the company that makes them:

    I dunno, but wouldn't a giant corporate exec know the difference between conceding an argument, and being conceited?

    Just askin'

    Take a picture of yourself holding an apple with the Aston Martin, and your wife holding a sign saying I <3 Ferrarichat.

    and then I will believe you.

    Already said, auto-spell check, it's a pain in the neck, and makes you look like a morin sometimes, one negative aspect about a Mac, I think I can turn it off, though, I'll have to call my son in.

    Honestly guys, if I am going to have deal with defending who I am, I don't need this.

    Lets pretend I am the impostor and just talk about cars then....
