S4play - Here is a thought I had regarding your situation. Please don't take it personally and in no way am I trying to bash or drive you into the hole. Since you are on alot of forums I thought maybe my below comments might help you get back in the favor of members through out.

First thing to do: Clean up your signature and only put cars you currently have in your garage.

Second thing to do: Start a thread on what cars you have in your garage. I would add pictures so no one can accuse you of lying.

Third thing to do: Do not offer cars for sale or imply you own them unless you have something valid. This will help you not get caught up in any hysteria from potential buyers.

Fourth thing to do: If people start attacking you just say " I made mistakes in the past and I have moved forward".

Fifth thing to do: Carefully watch your comments and don't imply something unless you have the means and are truly committed.

Rick the above things are suggestions that I believe would help you get back on the right foot and down the line all these blunders will be forgotten.

Remember it is easier to run away from all these things and hide but it takes a real man to face the problems.

I wish you the best and I hope that you will not be offended.

Sincerely,


Byron

He's probably embarrassed, not offended, and he should be embarrassed. Nevertheless this is an excellent opportunity for him to come clean and explain what is really going in terms of the cars he actually owns and those he has claimed to own or claimed to have ordered. I think people could live with the fact that he flips cars for profit if he was just up front and honest about it. It's the subterfuge that makes people angry.

I actually think that he is in complete denial. It'll take more than a little forum bashing for him to realize what a poserballer he is. He's able to justify it to himself that he did "own" these cars because he "thought" about them. In his mind, "If I just scraped and borrowed all the money that I could possibly get, I could make a deposit on that car. Then, I could call it my own."

Byron, I think you made some very reasonable suggestions. But as I've said before, there is a pathology to this type of behavior. I've seen it first hand. Pathologic liars really do believe the cr*p they're dishing. Even when they're confronted with the stark truth. We confronted this guy we know with the same problem as Rick, but his problem was on a more grandiose scale, ie deposits on a Superleggera, GT3RS, Murcie, $100K pay raise, yada yada yada. When he was confronted with all of his BS, he created even more lies to obfuscate the truth. In the end, we suggested he come clean admit he lied. At that point, I think things could have been forgiven. In the end, he couldn't come clean. His ego had grown to the size of Mr. Potato Head. I hope that s4play will take Lord Byron's advice and come clean. If he doesn't BAN his ***.

I know Kirby too.

Well, in his defense I was trying to pose too... but I had no self control and had the money so I always end up getting the car I talked about... to myself.

Yeah. I have a lot of conversations to myself... most of the time telling the voices in my head to not make me buy another car.

Wait... does that me I'm not a poserballer?

Awwwww dammit, I'm no longer cool.
