Heh heh. That's funny.

Just curious, are you really going to put a trailer hitch on your Z?

Exclamation Yes there will be a hidden hitch

Yes there will be a hidden hitch there is a way that you but it up and under the rear bumber so it is not seen I have seen it done on a audi TT and you do not see it. I have to have a hitch for my bikes or I have to drive my moms mini van, so I think I would rather have a hitch.

Default I did not even start it

I did not start the thread I showed them the web site and they found it funny that people are so obsessed with the car. They just do not understand. Again sorry it wasted your time and thank you for not banning me if you did it would have been understood.

I know the thread got locked and probably even deleted. He (his friend) was basically coming across as a young, spoiled-a$$ brat showing no appreciation for the z his rich daddy was supposedly buying him. It then turned into a "parents are stupid to spoil their kids" thread, and I chimed in a couple of times wanting to give the kid the boot from this website.

It's cool to know now that there's one less jackass out there

It was something about going from point A to point B....

Then I mentioned something about Power Wheels doing the same.

Here it is... knowing it is a joke actually makes it pretty funny

https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....&threadid=3592

Here's a highlight:

I'm sorry to **** all of you old people of that work for a living. But I get everything handed to me. You say I do not appreciate good cars I have been driving my dads 2002 Viper for the last year. I wanted to get a viper but this is my first car with a clutch so I was worried I would trash a nice car like a viper so I got the Z for a starter. And by the way those bikes are $5000 bikes that I will be riding at the world championships next year.

FOR SALE = BMW M3

Darn I missed it.......I would have like to seen how the MOD handled this.

As far as the Admin stuff I would have just given a warning on the thread and posted a nice explanation.

Next step email / pm and warning.

Leave a Message on the Mod forum

If it persisted I would have had my first Ban.

Oh well....Looks like I missed out on the Joke.

By the way I would always email after the ban and try to give them another chance.

Well I think thats what happened in the past and how Jay handled others.

Huh. I was going to add to the heaps of "ban him" posts but decided not to since I recognized the original post as flame bait. I was going to mention that I know the type and their goal is to get banned. I'm glad it wasn't you velodrome and that in the end you didn't get banned.

On a side note, my roommate/friend in college was this type. When he felt bored he would get on IRC and go to the gay channels to hurl insults until he got banned. Upon getting banned from the channel he would literally exclaim, "COOL!" I wonder if I mention it somehow in a wedding toast at his wedding reception coming in a few months if he'd kill me.

I must say, your friend got you good. Not only did he **** off everyone in the thread he started, but a day or two later another very long thread started about whether 16 year olds should drive the new Z. Your name was mentioned very prominently -- well actually not by name but by your new title -- I think your official title was "THAT 16 YEAR OLD *****." I have to admit looking back on this, it is all kinda funny. Glad to hear we gave you the wrong title and I hope you enjoy your Z.
