    I know that all too well. It will be very interesting to see if that CraigsList ad is still up on Thursday, which is when he told me on the phone that the car was available. I wonder if anyone is actually going to show up in Ely as a potential buyer.

    Indeed. :)

    1) I don't believe I used the word "scammer" or "thief." The term I used was "fraud."

    2) I used that term because an individual was representing that he had a (nearly) half-priced F40 inbound from Seattle, Washington (where I live) and was using my car's VIN and the CarFax report of my car in his marketing attempts. Because I am not selling the car, and I know for a fact that said car is not on a truck headed toward Nevada, that means the seller was misrepresenting the truth in an effort to sell an item of which he did not have possession, nor permission to sell on my behalf. That's pretty much a textbook definition of "fraud."

    3) How smart one "feels" is immaterial to one's actual intelligence, which can be measured with actual tests (no, I'm not talking about online IQ tests you can take for free). I don't have a 147 IQ because I drive an F40, but I do believe there may be strong positive correlation for the inverse of that statement. ;)

    I am not your enemy, RJuan. I am not the troll you are looking for. Move along.

    Thanks, Andrew. But did you catch the Star Wars reference, man? :)

    Jim Henson created both Yoda and Beaker so I imagine Andrew caught his cousin's quote.

    Well, well, well.......

    Seems Mr. Raider has given up selling cars with integrity and turned his website into a hit piece now..... So much for Ely's future as an Exotic Car Sales heaven!

    Anyhow, this is what comes up when you go to his website
    Http://www.rogclassics.com

    Poor Steve.. You are so misunderstood! LOL!!!

    Mike

    P.S. I still need to come over with my Quattroporte to compare with yours!!

    Um.................. except for the IQ part. A gentleman NEVER discusses the size of his penis or mentions his IQ. ;)

    Bummer. I was still holding out hope that an F40 would magically show up in Ely Nevada, be only one digit off my my VIN number (thereby explaining the honest mistake due to typo), and that someone would get a screaming deal on a wonderful car.

    And why am I "the leader of the Child Molester?" I'm a leader... but only one follower? That sounds like a terrible leader, if you ask me.

    And what's weird is I don't remember committing "first degree Murder, as a Teenager." That really seems like the kind of thing you'd remember, right?

    For even more giggles, call the number. It's a recording saying we need to get me off the streets! LOL.

    The funniest part of all this? It's still probably not enough red flags for RJuan. ;)

    Glad that you're keeping your humor.
    I wouldn't be so polite if that happened to me.

    Interesting, RJuan. You made up a story calling me a "Convicted Felon" at 2:55PM today, and then much later this evening, Mark Raider's website accuses me of being a "Convicted Felon." Strange coincidence. :)

    You sure you wanna stand by your original statement that you have no affiliation with Mr. Raider? Perhaps the "R" in "RJuan" stand for "Raider?" ;)

    The only thing I was guilty of murdering in the 80s were the traditional rules of fashion. :)

    Quite possible. He has a mind of his own! :)

    Even funnier. I would guess RJuan was the one who gave him the idea to go down that path, either directly or by posting the "convicted felon" comment below.

    Actually, Mr. Jenkins is a convicted FELLON. WTF is a FELLON? Someone who committed a fellony? What is a fellony?

    It's the crime of massacring the English language as badly as Mark Raider.
