Cars VadGTI is definitely NOT buying

[bzcat]

This is an intervention.

TCL has suffered enough. Some of the SoCal TCL'ers actually wasted many hours helping him track down and sometimes test drive cars with Vad. So for reference, these are the cars Vad is definitely NOT interested in buying, despite what he tells you otherwise. Do not feed Vad's addiction. Ignore his painful plea for more leads of high mileage used car of questionable history and spotty records.

DOn't forget to add: Any new car, or any used car with a pristine history and a clean CarFax. We KNOW he isn't going to buy those.

I enjoy Vad and his threads, but I kind of agree with the guy you quoted. It's kind of like that one friend who is always talking about their newest scheme but never follows through.

Like how 90% of TCL says they'll buy that car when it's relesed then don't end up buying it?

no, not really. Like someone who posts a specific and attainable car but never delivers. Again, I like VadGTI but my god he needs to just buy one of these damn cars, otherwise just call them CLFOTD which is what they really seem to be.

That's not going to stop him from posting. It's a viscous cycle. He bought the e30 M3 nigerian edition only about a year ago.

why did he buy that e30 m3 he never drives it, and doesn't his mom's house hold a ton of his cars?

he needs to clean his windshield too.

Wait didn't he move on to chase Lambo's in traffic? Like a Boss?



PS don't forget to mention the VAD Hollywood tours agency.

Was hoping a Sierra Cosworth was going to happen.

Vad's a good guy...just a confused guy. :p

[NoXenons]

He seems to have an affinity for once-high-end cars which are now POS's.

I like it. He thinks out loud and promotes discussion. There's not a thing wrong with that. You wouldn't understand this because you're a part of the grumpy smurf brigade that hates everything fun and spends most of their time either trolling or posting negative things.

I like to talk things through with people who like to talk about cars. There couldn't be a more perfect place for this kind of discussion, among the many others. If you're not interested in the content, feel free to avoid them, or block him altogether. I've blocked Saintor and a couple others recently, and that's made my experience that much better.

Where am I supposed to get a valid balanced opinion on diesels if I do that?

That's why I'm starting the intervention. I can't live with myself knowing I have contributed to his addiction.

[choochoo]

contrary to popular belief, he does occasionally drive the E30
seen here at the Socal GTG/GMR cruise

and I believe the S60R is his only other vehicle. Obviously 2 is not enough for one person as we here in TCL should understand. He merely lives out that desire in a more public way, hence all the posts.

[mellbergVWfan]

Should have never sold the Skyline. Or Cressida. Or the Miatas.

RIP

[bzcat]

Again, I like VadGTI but my god he needs to just buy one of these damn cars, otherwise just call them CLFOTD which is what they really seem to be.

He posts CLFOTD threads all the time that he clearly has no intention of buying.

These threads I highlighted are all the one that he seriously considered purchasing. He exchanged email or calls with the seller and test drove most of these cars.

The owner refused to sell it to me! Proof:

I think it's going to a better home. The guy who bought it is skilled in mechanics, finding parts, dealing with a car that can be as expensive to repair as it is persnickety. I must say I felt a twinge of guilt knowing you were getting for your girlfriend. These are not easy cars to own. There's a bumper sticker you see all over Africa, "I'd rather be pushing my Land Rover, than driving by me in your Toyota."

How about the abandoned Euro-spec E34 M5 that I chased all the way to auction, bid over the city-permitted amount, had the car pulled, only to come back for auction two weeks later where I was beaten to the punch by a man wearing a dashiki?

You obviously don't have the VadGTI extension enabled on your browser. It automatically adds 'CLFOTD' to all his thread titles.

He's already dropped the price $1,000. Yes, it is sad that I know that.

Everything I posted in the OP happened in the last 10 months. Don't make us go back further because that will just make committing you to rehab facility that much easier.
