Oh, and btw, thanks for showing your true colors on the board in your recent posts. You sound just like the hall monitors that we used to beat up in school. Man, id love to relive those days. I think we should meet up. I think Joe would like to meet you also. Maybe we can all have a beer!
Allan, I'd love to meet up with you guys and put whatever schit is between us away. You and your buddies obviously take a lot away from my enjoyment of the boards of brands I actually own. You've taken my negative personal opinions re: Lambo (BTW, never posted on a Lambo board) way too personally and have been on the attack ever since. So, I think little of Lambos. So what? You are obviously not a big fan of Pcars or Fcars despite your comments to the contrary (or you'd own at least one - and the recently sold 355 doesn't count as you've ludicrously stated many times it can't outrun a taxi - though I don't know why that need even arose). So what? It's not like you see me hunting you down on every non Pcar (or Fcar) board looking to pounce whenever you make a negative comment about either of the brands I own and like. So why are you into doing it with me? Why not just realize we have divergent needs for and opinions about cars and let it go at that? Is any of this junk really enhancing your life? Did you not even notice my participation in this thread started out without even directly posting to you? Did you even find my comments re: the value of the CGT to be "positive"? It really isn't a zero sum game between Pcars, Fcars, and Lcars.

What's with all the name calling and hostility?

I recently met up with Ben and he is a super nice guy and a real car enthusiast, as I'm sure you are Allan. If we all met up I'm sure we would all get along.

I didn't think highly of Lambos either, well, that was until they made the Murcielago R-GT. Now THAT is actually one Lambo I wouldn't mind owning. But ultimately different strokes for different folks.

We are all here to enjoy cars, it's kind of ludicrous to be hating people because of it. I guess it's kind of like Europeans and soccer... but it doesn't make it any less retarded.

Yeah Tyson, a much lightened RWD like the R-GT would interest me well. I don't like the AWD Porsche TTs anymore than AWD Lambos. Personally I like the Audi influence on the Lambo looks these days vs. the more flashly looks of pre-Audi, but with it has come weight, AWD, numbness and tall gearing. Take away that stuff, and I'd be very open to Lambo.

And, thanks for the comments re: our getting together. You are just a nice a guy as everyone else who has met you said you were.

Let’s just be at peace, enough of this. Ben seems to be a very nice guy from his prior posts and comments. Him and I have been invloved in threads about the CGT and this same topic before. And even though I think Porsche kind of Fu**** the buyers as my famous thread way back when stated. Ben does not seem interested in the cost or depreciation factors, he is in it too enjoy it. If you want value and non-depreciation try something safer like real estate or art. No one ever said cars were good investments, neither are women for that matter or watches or jewelry or many other extravagant non-necessities however I admire Ben as he is a car lover and fellow enthusiast!

As for Allan he loves to bicker I have friends like that. Either leave him be or fight the battle.

Tyson good input...you getting a CGT one day? It is one awesome machine!
MY2CENTS!

Tyson,

Well, I have issue with your statement that "if we all met up, we would all get along." I met you and think you are a ********! So, doesn't always work. Take care buddy.

Lou, you're the ******** that doesn't let me pay for anything any time I'm in Chitown. And you are even a bigger ******* for not coming to LA so I can return the favor and get you all ****ed up so that you can't even remember what happened the previous night.

What's your crew up to these days?
