Winter is coming on the 918. The three year no sale agreement is expiring for most US VIP members. This will be a strike while the iron is hot type deal. Prices already spread half a million for similar cars. I bet Ill do 5-6 of them.
What's that Cobra R go for? I remember that sitting on the lot back at a VA dealership when my dad bought his S2000. Tried to convince him that the Cobra R would be the better investment, but he wasn't interested in driving a mustang. Oh well.
Your mother. I wax that ass.Quote:

What kind of roof rack options do you provide for the Ferrari buyer who is interested in the boards?
What super car has the best roof rack fitment ?
One of the guys I work with bought them. He grew up surfing in CA. They are for decoration I suppose.
I'd recommend calling a surf board shop for the rest of the information.
Sounds like you killed it. I give away a free plate frame.Quote:

I fought off a real suicidal wave yesterday, I've been doing that here and there since around 2005 so no big news, but man, trying to figure out what's really going on and sort it out I think reading all of this has put my life and my stuff in such a hopeless light. Some of it is likely adverse effect of a steroid injection into my spine this week, they say it can affect depression. But also some of it is seeing this douche just nonstop bragging about how awesome he is and just being a dick like it's a sport.
So, if all this is completely real and honest, here's a guy who's just kind of a dick and he gets to have a dream job making a ton of money, totally sure he's the shit, really very little to worry about. Just like the president, and all of his appointees, just sociopaths with so much money they have nothing to worry about and they spend their time going out of their way to make regular people feel awful. I know on an intellectual level that's just insecurity or whatever, but still it makes them awful, and the fact that those awful people are so handsomely rewarded, and the good people I know, and me, have to struggle so much for so little. It's hopeless. These people never have to worry about the most important things: that's an amount of money that means you'll never have to worry about anything you don't choose to worry about....and they spend their time making a project out of shaming the poor and bragging about themselves.
So that's if he's real and honest...and who really knows about that. But, and this is a big thing, even if this is just a fabrication and none of the financial or logistical implications are real, there is a human on the other end of this, typing these things, posting these pictures with an intent of just making everyone feel poor and hopeless. In a way, that's almost just as bad, the thought that there's just somebody on here so intent on making ski bums feel poor and hopeless. Just making a daily project out of spreading conflict and bad feelings.
Yeah, it's all supposed to be this staredown where the first one who admits any vulnerability is the loser...and that whole world he lives in or his character embodies is a winners-and-losers mentality....I get that. I'm the loser of the who's the biggest "baller" contest. I just don't want it here. I've never had any money, but real skiers weren't supposed to care so much about that. But it matters, you guys shit on some guy here for having a hyundai sonata, which is a way nicer car than my wife's hyundai accent, which is so much nicer than my truck that's now so rusty the bed is just resting against the cab and fluttering around and shaking the whole truck above 40 mph...it's so much nicer that she won't switch with me so I can go try to scratch together some more money driving lyft with it. I had a flat on my 20 year old dryrotted tire the other day and it's getting so fucked up we're putting tubes in it just to hold air for another few months until the next flat because tires are so expensive (for me). I'd love to be able to afford a hyundai sonata so I could drive Lyft on the weekends and start covering some of the medical bills from this winter. It's not just me, not even close. A lot of my coworkers, let alone the clients, think of me as a guy who has it easy money-wise. Some of them are sharing one $500 car for mom, dad, and 3 adult kids all of whom have to get to work, and the whole day and night is just one big insane juggling act. I live in my own home, not in public housing, I'm the guy with money at my job. I own some tools and a smart phone, I'm the guy with money in my world.
The thing is, even around skiing there's always been the owner class, the high end lodging guests, etc....but you leave all that behind because you're skiing in ways they can't ski. You're there for every pow day, there's all those moments you wouldn't trade for any amount of money. That used to sustain me, there should be at least a little of that here...but it's getting eclipsed, at least for me.
I don't even know why this guy is here....is it some skier from Denver who loves pissing everyone off so he made a character to remind ski bums how poor we are? What a sick world if that's it. Is it some used car dealer in Tennessee who can't stop rubbing it in how easy it is for him to make my year's salary in a week? What a sick world that is.
Do I need to just check out of tgr....probably, but wtf. We're handing the powmag forum and "community" over to a handful of total assholes who aren't funny, aren't into our sport(s), aren't really anything except firehoses of negative energy. That whole worldview, be it real or a character, is just toxic. I can't help but wonder what life would be like with that kind of money, let alone coming from a job I didn't hate...but that's toxic thinking as a poor person. And that's what they want...it's this act of psychological hostility. It's "what bike could I get if I had $5000 to throw around" or "I bet that guy doesn't have to walk through mud to get to his front door" or whatever....and it invades everything and it's the opposite of being thankful for what I do have. Even knowing how bad, and unhealthy, and unproductive it is, it's still really hard to control. My work life is spent driving, and I see these guys with the expensive brand new cars who just drive like the most selfish, thoughtless assholes, and I think about this asshole poster on tgr and all the shit, and it sucks. It's a terrible feeling.
We're not supposed to admit to anything bothering us ever, then the troll has some kind of trollgasm and gets to claim victory....on one level I get that, on the other level--this whole thing makes it hard to come here and read and participate without incurring a bunch of really bad vibes, and I think everyone involved ought to take some note of that in the context of trying to understand how this group of people and our forum has changed over the years.
I was under the impression you put me on ignore. At least you said you did.
Don't let other people drive your life. I know it's easy to say, harder to do, but Bobby is Bobby. His "success" is his, not yours. I'm sure Bobby has his own set of issues. Just have a chuckle at all of it man, and try to cheer up. It's always darkest before the dawn. Keep on truckin'Quote:

I would suggest not clicking on and reading a thread called Bobbys Used Car Lot. I would also suggest actually using the ignore button.
Im sorry if you are in a bad place but that has very little/nothing to do with me. Im not personally trying to make you feel bad. The suicide bit is especially concerning.
As I told Meadow Skipper after some comments I made, I consider all this to be busting each others balls. I get plenty of trash talk back. Water off a ducks back.
I try and help any mag that needs it. That's undeniable.
Money wont make you happy. But if you think it will I suggest you go get a job at a volume car dealership like I did and put in the work.... Like I did.
You wouldn't sound like an insufferable narcississtic cunt if you just for once shut the fuck up. Try it Bobby - shut the fuck up about yourself. But you can't. You'll spew back with a meme or something stupid and continue jerking yourself off. The same people will think you a "winning" troll, a bunch of others will think you an asshole, and you'll get the troll attention. "winning".Quote:

Pretty sure you made fun of me for deleting the other thread. That was after you cyber stalked me...
I guess its different now. Or maybe you need to use the ignore button too.
Thread aimed at making fun of me turns into huge back fire and members complain. WTF?
Others leave the safety of family employment and do their own thing. Like sell cars and grow weed.Quote:

you have been through heavy shit and if this place exacerbates things to that degree i would take a break and stay in touch with the people you interact with in other ways. i understand everything you're saying but you also have to keep in mind that this place, as wonderful as it is and as pathetic as it is, is an incredibly narrow slice of the real world that is hyper-distorted by hyper-impulsive nature pf the internet and way too much juvenile male ego. you can't take it too seriously.Quote:

keep fighting for yourself in a positive, sustainable way, man. i have occupied similar spaces for years on end that long predate this place. feel free to pm anytime.
Thats why you started a thread dedicated to talking shit?Quote:

i think it's because you have a very fragile ego and take yourself very seriously. so in this case, i got an unintended benefit. and then another one when after multiple explanations you still didn't get it.
thanks, man. i owe you.
Nah. I just think you are full of shit. You have 11k posts in like 2.5 years.
You love the drama here and are a willing participant. The evidence speaks for itself despite what you say.
well that's the output of that great mind of yours! who's gonna argue?
Especially when you don't have an argument.
Hilarious a thread devoted to bullying me has offended another member due to my response.
What in the actual fuck?
