    I think Emil's reaction has very little to do with either bitterness or jealousy. Emil's owns plenty of F/L/P-cars, so there's no jealousy, and he's had his fair share of "killer deals" (just ask him about buying his Gallardo SE), so there's no bitterness.

    I think, from my read, this has to do with various people being fed up with years of reading various other people claim (on the Internet) about how they've been blessed with these amazing too-good-to-be-true business deals, and the eventual discovery that 99.9% of claims that are made are just flat-out BS. The world is a very efficient market and works a lot more realistically than many people usually believe. Most things have a logical and straightforward explanation - when you really get down to it.

    It simply defies logic to many of us that a human being with the legitimate means to acquire a $450k car would sell it to someone else for $hundreds of thousands below market value just "because he needed the money." If you go out and buy 1000 shares of GOOG at $622 / share and decide "you need the money" a few days later, you don't sell it to your buddy for $295 / share. Unless you don't actually own it. Or you bought it illegally. Or you've been raided by the IRS and need to dump your assets before you get hauled off to jail. Or you're trying to hide an illegal gain from another transaction by falsifying a loss on a different one. Etc. In other words, there's always a real explanation behind these things because people are (for the most part) inherently rational beings - especially those of us who buy $450k cars.

    So I think what Emil, and most of us, are trying to figure out is what the REAL story is here. That's it.

    And why, you may ask, are we so nosy as to wonder about the inner workings of a deal that's not really our business in the first place? Because it was posted for all to see & analyze, and we too are rational beings who are trying to figure out a fundamentally irrational situation.

    I understand your points Noah, and respect what you are saying. The only thing that I have aproblem with is not that people find this to be irrational (hey...maybe there is some underlying reason why this guy is doing this.....should I not take him at his word, call him a liar, and possbily walk away from a deal that could be financially beneficial to me???? Just to appease the concerns of a few chat memebers who felt this deal is bull****???) I posted this thread not to rub my nose at people, not to say ha ha screw you, but to ask for help. To acknowledge that I am really not someone who "invests in cars", and whether or not it would be a smart investment for the future. Not in 2 weeks, or three months, but in maybe a few years...thats all. I would have been ok with a few "absolutelys" or even "you can never be sure". But although I did get alot of great feedback.....so much was cynical that I really began to get hurt by what was saying. We are all suppossed to be big boys and girls here. Instead many members were downright nasty in their tone, and although I DO UNDERSTAND (or at least I think I do) as to why.......the cynicism and the tone in which the comments were delivered was just too much.

    Rational people who are presented with irrational situations, ususally, become inquisitive as to what the real story is. That fine. No biggie. I don't have a problem with people being "nosy" b/c as you say, I have opened this up to the public to be "analyzed." But my thread was offered with good intentions, and yes, although intentions can be misinterpreted, many here are just outright rude. And for all the chat rooms and groups I subscribe and belong to, I was really taken aback by the behavior of many here. And with all the petty child bs offered against me, rather than blow up and say hey...screw you, I am going to do my deal and thats that, and run away from the thread, instead I invite everyone to my home, friends and disbelievers alike, which is now becomming a great day, for dinner (on me) and a view and/or ride of the mysterious 599, and a good time. This is how I live my life, how I enjoy those around me. I am really sorry that there have been so many lies (obviously pepetrated here) with respect to ownership and deals...Ari and the Enzo were brought up several times (don't know about that deal), that kids and little people trying to be big shots come on and annouce their bs. I was just honestly trying to get advice on something....and from, I thought, those who knew best...the owners. Maybe I should not have done this. But I just wanted to get some assistance...instead I think I received some life lessons.

    Noah, as I have invited everyone else, would love to have you (and rob of course) over to the house. There should be alot of people there. Great cars.....FLD will be there....and then we will get dinner. I look forward to meeting everyone and having a good time. But I wonder if after this all goes down if people will come back to this thread and revisit what was said and maybe rethink the next time someone asks for help. Maybe not. Either way....sometimes life throws you a curveball and you miss. Sometimes you guess fastball and your right. In the end...remember...their just cars...I keep stressing that. I could lose the cars tomorrow and be the happiest clam in the sea. As long as I have my kids.....life is great :) :)

    Whereabouts in Rockland?




    Lambo from the Dead, I know you were being genuine in your first thread because you did not even initially disclose the price you were getting. You merely stated you got a good deal. Someone asked how much and you answered. If you were trying to brag and create a circus, you would have stated that in the beginning to incite a reaction.


    You have an obligation to yourself; don't worry what they think.
