I agree with you completely on your points. My reaction was indeed a general knee jerk reaction -- which also could have / should have been withheld. My point was your last point -- which could have / can be made without the other info. I am in agreement on his point, BTW.

P.S. Teachers and coaches are indeed the most important professions for our future.

 

thanks bc07. this is my last post on this forum because i got a weird stalker vibe from boiler. what's next? hack my fb page? my wife and i love our education jobs. yeah, they're a lot of work but we worked hard to get where we're at and work hard to keep it that way. we're grateful that we make what we do and we can afford to garage four of our cars (work car is an '07 scion tc, it's the odd one out). all that misinformation you read (dealer lots, elements, blah, blah) keeps on being perpetuated by those uninformed. you see, most srt-6's were in the showroom for the first couple of years. the dealers aren't stupid. why put a 47k car (in many cases, their most expensive) out in the elements? i've gotten into a handful of "pissing contests" with members here who just don't know what they're talking about. i suppose the best advice i could give people here is to look at the .pdf's and tech pix/videos and thank the people who made them. then, buy an issue of sports car market. best of luck to everyone and take care. i think i'll join a veyron forum since that's what i really want.

 

You think I am creepy since I read the info YOU posted in YOUR bio on this site? Wow, paranoid much?

Ever thought you got into these pissing matches because you interject personal barbs and inuendo about others financial situations, of which you know nothing.

Good luck with the veyron, I will be right here trying to help other members with our crappy non collectible NAs.

 

Translation: "I came into this thread with a chip on my shoulder and boiler called me on it - so now I've got to come up with a face-saving reason to tuck my tail between my legs and go away".

We are all adults and friends here, you were the one who started the condescending posts.
You set yourself up, don't you see that?

 

Boiler and Pizza.... ease up. How many people have told me the crossfire is a crappy car. An old mans car....a car for women....etc. I have also heard the "its is a base coupe with no options" comment too (I have a base). Think I care? I love the car. And when I am blowing past them at 130 MPH they will think different. Just because he feels the non srt models will be worthless in the future you are mad. Give me a break!

We are all guilty of writing stuff on here that is offensive. Big deal!

 

Appreciate you moderating this blackcrossfire07. I'm going to jump threads and go back to really why I love this form -- reading all the valuable info posted by the guys and gals who own this car and share all the "good and bad" aspects of this vehicle.

I think most people took his statement ..... "many people like myself who collect special interest cars have something called discretionary income. this website has a few, for us, warranties, ps2's, maintenance, etc. are pocket change. i'm diversified just like everyone else. only, i can afford to buy two srt-6's and keep them in proper storage and drive them when i want." ...... to be a little condensending, whether it was meant to be or not. I do think it's a bit ridiculous to think there's a "stalker vibe" from others just expressing their opinions, which is precisely what he did.

Oh well, back to what matters.

 

No, that's not it at all. I think his "stalker vibe" comment, combined with his other remarks, don't fit in a forum of friends.

I take a lot of ribbing here and have a lot of fun with it - so I don't think I take things too seriously, but maybe you are right: perhaps I do.

 

Crap I wish you'all would keep the flame hot ,I was enjoying this thread ,,,,,

 

I was actually just confused on what the hell he was talking about. The lack of punctuation, bad grammar, misspellings... all of it gave me a headache. I'll get on anyone's case for that, especially if they're a teacher. Maybe he does know grammar well, how to spell things, and where to put an f'ing comma, but the fact that he doesn't use those skills when he types is beyond me.

 

I thought this was about the future collectible value of a crossfire. OK; I think this may be about differing opinions, not what the future brings.
For those of you who offer information; thanks!
For those of you who are condescending to others because you cannot see their point of view-----Whatever!

For what it's worth; I don't really care! I'm keeping mine and at the end of the day I can't take the money with me.
So; I guess the argument has two sides.

If you want to ***** about my spelling or grammar, please send a corrected version!

 

Black you obviously missed the entire point of my rant, I could care less if the SRT or any other crossfire will be worth serious money in 30 years, but when someone insults my intelligence about cars and my lack of discretionary income, it becomes personal. What I am saying is there is no reason for that, as Mark states, this is a place for friends, not a place some jackass comes and says to a group of car guys, "you know nothing about the values of cars and I have more money than you." Maybe I make 100K a year selling network infrastructure, hardware, software, and services - maybe my father and I have bought and sold over 100 cars over the past 15 years because maybe he owned 40 restaurants through 3 states and he knew a little something about 'pocket change' as you call it. Be careful who you insult, because you NEVER have ANY clue about someone's situation you have interacted with over the internet.

PNA, he clearly did more than express an opinion, he put down a group of people and made some pretty interesting assumptions about a lot of folks he largely knows nothing about, personally. I have met and interacted with hundreds of people on this forum, been to their homes, shared meals, drinks, and laughs with them. So I guess I do take it a little personal when someone insults a group this great.

and WTF is up with this stalker vibe BS, he makes it personal by talking about having $$$ and HE posted HERE that he was a teacher in his BIO. I guess I see how me doing the slightest bit of research (one right click, in fact) on the guy who is insulting me makes me the bad guy, good logic.

And with that, I am done.

 

Wow this thread is funny. This was my first time reading it because the member who started it is on my ignore list so I can't see any of his posts anyways but they do show up when quoted. My turn to whine and complain and babble on and on!

Let me throw 2 pennys out there!

I purchased my car cheap. $5000 plus a beat up 2wd pickup. So thats what mine is worth to me. As for being a collector item... Mine will never be sold again. It will end up in the scrappers one way or another probably sooner than later. I drive it and it shows. tires bald, stone chips, small door ding (hint hint). I love every minuet of it. If I wanted to go in the garage and look at a perfect crossfire everyday I would have a mural painted on the wall! I cant wait til I get older and purchace a "mint" crossfire srt6 for cheap off some kid who just inherited it from daddy. Untill then I just drive with a smile! well over 100,000 miles and counting

Ohh and boiler, if you and molly are stalking people that woule be AWSOME! I will send you my address and my work schedual. My bedroom is at the back of the house. I will leave the curtain open a little and a nightlight on!

 

Beaner....I love your posts !!
This one... especially the stalking comment..LOL
Take care my friend

 

I am the one who started this thread... so my guess is you have me blocked.

I don't know who you are or why you blocked me. I don't have a clue what your issue is with me. I don't ever recall communicating with you so you must be whacked in the head.... no offense!

 

Lmfao, is thread about accidents or is it the official "flex your ego" thread... give me a break

 

The Jesticle doesn't care how much "disposable income" one has, as it doesn't stop one from coming across as a total d0uche.

There are internet toughguys, internet spazzes and internet braggers... All of which make an appearance in this thread. Bravo!

 

I forgot to mention - anyone with "disposable income" can feel free to send it to my paypal account, and I will happily forward it on to several different children's charities. There are people who NEED food, shelter and clothing, much more than you need several unused vehicles.

Just a thought...

 

I heard that Beaner fell on his head very early in life so he's kinda odd, but we like him just the way he is.

I have had lots of disposable income, which I managed to dispose of.

 

Thanks Dave for quoting!
