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.

    So did you miss the first line of my statement that you quoted or what? I don't think there's anything wrong with his threads.

    This thread made me realize this:

    Vad isn't a person, Vad is all of us. It's our way of vicariously living recklessly.

    PS, isn't this just a thread that will feed his ego anyways?

    I don't know if an intervention is the best thing.
    Since Vad's daydreams seem to drive half the traffic on TCL, it might implode if he is stopped.

    Of course, it might be for the betterment of society as a whole if that happens...

    Also, I told you over a year ago that my boss would entertain offers for his Vad-spec E24 M6. You have yet to make one.

    Weird, there was a yellow Euro package one near me for a similar price. Has the SVT Focus market taken a poop? I want a 5 door one.
    But I'd kill for a Euro pack one...

    That's missing the update thread where the car looked noting like the pics, had bent wheels, faded paint, cracked leather and wouldn't accelerate on the freeway .

    Then there's the thread where I compared an S60R to an E55... Didn't make the right choice, did I?

    Then there's the 993, 996 or M5 thread:

    Then there's this Porsche 912:
    http://forums.thecarlounge.net/showthread.php?3154816

    What a POS. My gf still gets angry at me for dragging her to see it .

    993 vs. NSX?

    http://forums.thecarlounge.com/showt...oose-thread...

    I almost bought that 993 but, when it came time to financing, it was discovered (not by me) that the car had a Florida salvage title, washed with a CA title.

    Wait, what? An E24 M6? Jesus everybody offers Vad the good stuff.

    Or, vaguely suspect versions of good stuff, if it's Vad-Spec.

    He (my boss) DDs it, so it's mechanically sound. I can recall it being in the shop once in the last year or so.

    The AC doesn't work, but that's typical for 80s BMWs (and especially M cars)

    He wanted to buy a ****ty volvo. It made sense at the time to sell one of two cars in the country for a depreciating bucket of crapola.

    What else was he to do? Ditch the salvaged E36 M3 that sat at his mother's house for 3 years?

    You have no idea how much p u s s y he's gotten since he got the volvo. He now has like 7 cats in his one bedroom apartment.

    WHAT THE FACK! I Can't begin to explain HOW ****ING AWESOME vehicles with the aerodynamic properties of a BRICK are. I'd take an R30 over almost anything else imported from Juh-p-han. Why one would get rid of such a unique, ugly, and more retro than a Motorola Brick vehicle is beyond me. You're an idiot VAD.

    Vad, I fear that when I get out of vet school I might fall into a similar pattern

    Almost traded my daily driver (xj Cherokee) for an early 240Z, then a 951, then finally a beat up fd RX-7 But it's the only thing keeping my ass mobile in this current state of student poverty.
