That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.


It would put me off selling there since you have a massive cock poo poo posting on I assume everything that drives the price down and the admins appear to let him do it. If I wanted to do that I would post it for sale on Pistonheads and let the 1%ers on there have at it. In fact send the guy a link to Pistonheads I think he will fit in with all the poo poo heads over there.

I don't even know what the point of a moderated chat is when complete garbage comments like

quote:

Hmmm…this or the ZR-1? I think I’ll take the Corvette.

don't get removed by a site that's supposed to be helping you sell the car.

Honestly though you're better off than the Porsche auctions which have the same kind of assholes but in even greater numbers.

That guy must be a dreamer, because he has no bid history. And of course he makes IMS comments on porsche listings. http://bringatrailer.com/member/SchwarzHorse/ I guess he's fit to comment on your passion, Kimbo, since he's got a superior Porsche 914 :agesilaus: (bet it's a 4 cylinder, too)

"harmful brake soot" instantly flags him as either a troll or an rear end in a top hat with little real world experience. Perhaps both.

All those comments are valid you should sell me this car for $5K if it doesn't reach reserve. I will take it harmful brake soot and bad DIY fixes and all even though it is white and not a Testarosa.

Honestly, I thought it would be way worse than this, with teardown posts left and right.
To have just the one serious one a day before the auction's up isn't so bad.

Id go with rear end in a top hat. One time I showed up to a "American car day" car show with Kimbo's z06 while it had full American flag painters tape livery with name tapes and numbers on it and the event runners thought it was so hilarious and awesome they put the car right up front. At some point while talking to someone about it, a guy walked up, looked at the car, and made a derogatory comment about the brake dust in a completely serious manner.

Das Volk posted:

The thread died because I just wasn't doing anything with the car, and I don't really have time to keep up with the forum anymore. A friend of mine was dying to drive it, and had driven my black car as well, but he made the mistake of letting his girlfriend drive the car. Its value started climbing once they announced the end of production, so I ended up owning both cars for free essentially. Sad it went out the way so many of them do though.

Edit for those who care:
Project.next is either building a dedicated hillclimbing/track car or buying a friend's McLaren 650S. I love the Viper but it's limited at my event's altitude, and building another one doesn't scratch the car ADD itch anymore.

Snakebite :( Sorry about your viper.

Ask me about Derek Carr's stolen MVP awards, those dastardly refs, and, oh yeah, having the absolute worst fucking gimmick in The Football Funhouse.
Good luck, Kimbo. I don't post in AI a lot, but I thought your Ferrari adventures were cool and I hope you get a flurry of last minute bidding.

Man, I'd guess about 15-20% of my car's final price was bid in the last hour. I gotta think he's got way more upside on this.

Good luck today! I will be watching the auction while at work. I think it is the most interesting auction of the day with the next best one being the Exige S (holy smokes $50 grand already :stonk:)

I'm thinking being white is going to be the driving factor and it's going to be surprising. At least I hope :ohdear:

It's a 2nd bid by a guy who seems to really want it. He's already asked me a couple of logistical questions.

So if it doesn't hit reserve you can probably get that guy to buy it anyway?

The bid history glitched for a second? And it popped back down to 35.5. Jesus, heart in my throat.

I think that guy just bid against himself? I wonder if it's 2nd bid final price.
