Sorry Doug, but I won't be paying more than $10k for a '99.

I actually miss him. We had a lot of fun with him. Such an easy target, so much anger. His meltdowns were the best.

I know no one asked but here's my take anyway.

I enjoyed, and sometimes still enjoy, CFOT.

I am aware, however, that it tended to bring out the worst in me.

I am glad UD is not CHAS

I am at peace in the Barn and GREATLY appreciate the kind words and deeds of those that offered input during some rough patches of mine and my folks.

CFOT people helped my folks too and Doug played a part in that.

I hate infighting. I hate being friends with any two people that don't like each other.

I feel like all of you really are friends. Not sure if that is a good reflection on you all, or a bad one on me. Can I not make real friends? WTH?

I have never wanted anyone kicked out of anywhere for good. I'm a firm believer in second, third, fourth chances...except CHAS.

Yes, some people are dicks. Waddya gonna do? Somebody somewhere thinks that of me. Oh well.

Lastly....note to self...do NOT piss off BJ or IC.

Welcome Doug, whether it be long term or short term. By the way, there is a bin by the door, leave your crap in it and make yourself at home...keep your feet off the furniture though.

Good stuff!

However, I find IC to be the consummate asshole.

I ignore him. What did I ever do to him?

Jimmy, so are you. **** off!

Anyway, I plan to spend more time here because CFOT is not pleasurable anymore.

The moderators there think they are ****ing Gods, and everyone seems to be in fear of them (as evidenced recently).

The trouble is; that I have been there nearly ten years now, and my local Canadian guys are my "club" members.

If I want a ride to a summer event, I gotta stay in touch with my buddies!

That's how bad it had gotten between us, this is not recent, this is been going on for a while.

It's not like I was planning to do this, the lies to try to draw him out. I woke up that morning and saw the beautiful Lakeview from my window and I was going to post a positive update but I thought you know what let me see if this guy is really The asshole I think he is. I simply provided a platform for him to show his true colors to the whole forum. The proof is right there in the thread, he went on the attack within minutes of me posting my update about hating the RV experience.

Seriously, who could hate this? The smart people figured out pretty quickly what I was doing. Then I spiced things up with the financing, so I could open up the window again for him to attack me. By the time the hate bandwagon had started, awesome, let's flush out all the assholes.

By this time I had flushed out about 4 or 5 folks that pounced on what they thought was another boneheaded business or life decision from UD. It really was pathetic.

I kept making up more outlandish crap to see if anyone would catch on to my plan, like I said the smart people, namely ptindall, figured it out pretty quickly. But those who got caught up in the hate started by Repo were so blinded by judging me that the absurdity of my 180 went completely over their head.



This is where I stayed for 10 days, right after I got my RV.



He was having so much fun relishing in my disappointment, that I took it to the next level, it wasn't planned out days in advance, it was on the spur of the moment, but I did respect the rules and I asked savewave if it was OK before I started doing it.

That's something else people came here to get away from: Being threatened or censored because they speak their mind.
They were actually pretty cool in that thread if I'm being candid. I got about a three day ban and I went on a tirade that had more F bombs than a drunken sailor LOL. I had to let it go, was it right? No, but it was therapeutic and that's why I am at peace... I let a lot of shit out of my system. Like I said he, and a few others, brought the worst out in me because they saw the worst in me.

WHo cares, it's over.
He gave me his number once. It was just so he could update that thread, the one where the girl gave me the herpes, I'm sorry it wasn't herpes it was chlamydia. Lol That was three phones ago so I don't have his number anymore and we just text that one night, me texting him updates. I'm pretty sure you're going to have to give up your title of forum historian :-)

You may have heard, but I'm building up my old 99 fixed route coupe to be a street legal road course prepped race car, with Road Atlanta being our home track. My mechanic and best friend lives a few doors down from Randy Pobst and Randy said many months ago that he would ride us around the track.

The S/C was just not my cup of tea, too much power too late. Fun but it gets old. Plus I am loving my lifted Duramax.

The cats are doing great, thanks for thinking of them. All three are here in bed with me.

Just curious but what are you seeing out there for that price, are you looking at six speed manuals only? Original clutch? Torque tube rebuilt, upgrades? Service history?

Yes in a way, it was a trade-in, a guy needed a diesel to run his business and he gave up his toy, I have a receipt from Vengeance from April for $10,000 plus he spent $2000 on brand-new powder coated wheels and Michelin runflats. 9.5/10 all the way around, two tops, perfect leather, 600hp, LS7 clutch, full A&A S/C kit...

Took a customer out in it today, was fun to get it sideways.

My friends that is what will eventually really kill this country, not "terrorism". We know and post more about a complete ****ing stranger 1000 miles away and spend more time hating on the internet than loving those around us. Love thy neighbor has turned in hate on the internet.
I couldn't disagree more on this subject.
The "everyone is a unicorn", there are no losers, PC shit is what is taking us down.
When the POTUS won't say a phrase for fear of offending our enemies, we're screwed.
When the Olympics let people compete as whatever gender the "associate" as, we're screwed.
When half of college students think that there needs to be restrictions on free speech, we're screwed.
When a Socialist is a leading candidate for President, we're screwed.

**** that.

All I need is the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, my dogs....and this lamp!
