I wonder if this idiot actually thinks people will believe all the BS he has written.

I guess the bad taste in wheels and red pinstripe add 70hp too...



Thought you guys might need a laugh!

Take care,

George

Wow thats awesome if the R's have gone up like that. Thats about the price I paid for my 05 with 60000 miles on it last year. I like how he says he needs a family car. I kinda consider an S type a family car. Its 4 doors thats good for me. LOL. I love the special order cause the Carfax says its from London. I hate to crush the guy and tell him that Jaguar is a British car.

LOL@ mike... Who knows maybe it's a baby Arden 4.6 S7 package and this guy dosnt know anything about it? I had a buddy that bought an old 96ish E55 and talked about how fast it was and it was all carbonfiber under the hood etc... We all made fun of him thinking it was BS and for thinking an old 55 was fast. Come to
find out he had bought a Renntech E60 at auction with no markings and had no idea what it was... Sure that's not the case but you never know?

What can I say? I just take solace in knowing that I am not from here.

The crazy thing here is diesel trucks with large (5"+) stacks sticking up in the bed of their pickups trucks. I need to get a picture of one of them.

LOL! 10-4 on the diesel pickup stacks Mike. Saw a lot of this when living in NC. Some of these guys throw their inheritance ($$$$) into their lifted/stacked/lights/grill bars, etc. leaving their children eating Cheerios for dinner. Dang. That makes me feel like Raising Cane, darn it!

LMFAO BFS!

Ironically you see the occasional diesel monstrosity here in NJ too. Suprisingly it's always some guy who's like 5'3" and 120 dripping wet who looks like he needs help getting into the thing! Overcompensate much....

Take care,

George

LOL! George. Lifted truck owners are basically over compensating for their "Short Comings"?

Guys who own perfectly clean, waxed, everything is polished, big wheels with mud tires that have tire shine on them big lifted trucks... Yeah pretty much.

Is there a practical purpose to building something that gets ~ 10 mpg, is loud enough to **** off everyone in the neighborhood, is a pain in the butt to park, handles like crap, and never even drives on a lawn, much less off road?

It's like a neon sign for attention.. Hey over here, look at me!!! In case you didn't notice here I am!!! Don't you see how cool I am?

Multiply that x 2 for the ones that hang the big plastic ********* that are larger than their brains underneath the rear bumper!

Just my .02 of a dollar LOL

Take care,

George

It's like anything everone who is a car/truck guy enjoys it in diffrent ways. You have the numbers maching has the orginal bulbs it left the dealer with in the 50s crowd, the big truck crowed, the modder crowd, Europeans, exotic ect... All car guys just diffrent.

The best collection I can think of for my taste is a guy who not only has a few huge trucks, he owns a truck lift company. Guy has over 10k hp in the garage, few nice supras, lambos, vipers you name it and all tastefully modded. I know a lot of guys with 5million pluse collections and his my favoright.

I am sure somewhere right now some is talking about those stuck up snooty jag owners LOL

Oh I hear you... LOL you don't know how many times I've gotten or heard about snide comments being made at work about how I'm "rich" because I drive a Jaguar... (which is prob worth around 10k), as they get out of their 30k+ American SUV's. I made the mistake of taking the 500sl to work a couple times and people still talk about it...

A nice diverse collection is cool, I guess I just never got the big truck for show thing. My brother has an 87 wrangler with a worked 350, 35's and all sorts of fun stuff in it that he off roads in, but it's not pretty, or perfect, and he's not afraid to get it dirty or break it. That I can respect, those guys are NUTS with the stuff they pull. I'm sure the guys with their diesel monstrosities all sit around talking about how they don't get why we do why we do what we do to our cars as well...

Take care,

George

I love my Ram, but I would never spend even one dime to jack it up/increase the horsepower/tint it/glasspack it, etc. etc. etc. At 6-foot-7 I need the legroom, the headroom, and the power to haul whatever I happen to be working on at the time (lumber, tile, bricks, paving stones, topsoil, mulch, a rented lawn aerator, etc.). I couldn't care less about wasting money to turn it into a Look-At-Me-mobile. I take care of it but it's a work truck, not a show truck. It gets washed maybe every 60 days if it's lucky. I need it for my various projects, not to pretend I'm a Freightliner/Mack wannabe....

George,

If he was from NJ, he'd have the Bugatti two-tone paint job, white walls and DUB Spinners.
