Evolution8Blue:

I'm also pretty handy with tools and rather technically inclined. To repair the hood I'll need some nails, one tube sock, and some boogers. BAMM!!! Good as new. OK, fine I'm not MacGuyver but I do know a good mechanic.

 

<grin> Next time I'll have a lawyer look things over. To say again, this is a car forum; bring a car.

Clearly, you're bowing-out, but don't have the guts to be genuine about it. There's not much else to be said.

As I suspected, you're all talk and no action.

What excuse? I don't bet on racing. Please don't use this as an opportunity to chicken-out.

No problem; kick my ***, but you have to show up first.


Actually, I have raced in snow, as our season usually starts in April when there's snow on the ground. We even get snow in May.

<grin> Yea, you're one hell of a competitor.

Great! Then run against me in whatever whether happens on that day.

I have a low tolerance for poseurs.

Huh? I've been urging you to go all along. Instead, you've posed ridiculous conditions seemingly meant to get you out of this.

You mean that I'm not God? I'm an atheist.

I see this means you're not going to run. That's very brave of you.

OK, run against me. I'll live with the pain ;-)

 

As stated earlier... I ACCEPT! I'll race you on a dry, paved surface like the big boys use. This is obviously a bet and I'll bring "whatever I have" because that's what you said I should do. How about loser also pay expenses (like they do in courts of law)? Given your confidence and my lack of skill as well as the distance involved I suggest $10,000.

You game or not? A simple "yes" or "no" will do. Oh, and any answer other than these means you're as full of dog-squeeze as we all think. Can you do it? C'mon.... yes or no.

 

Please see my post above; I'm not about to repeat myself. Bring a car, run in whatever whether nature gives and see who wins. Your feeble attempt at a reversal only makes you a disingenuous chickensh!t.

Edit: I almost forgot. $10,000? That's what's called buying a way out of an uncomfortable situation. There's a lot of talk; let's see what you can do. Oh, I forgot. You won't show up.

 

You're trying to turn this into a driving contest. One, by the way, you bailed out on when you realized you were in over your head.

You gonna run or not? Since you couldn't find it in your fingers to type "yes" I'd say it's not. How about we make it more simple... since you're calling ME out you should come over here. The 10K stands and I'll even pay your expenses if I lose.

What do you say? You gonna weasel out of this one, too?

 

OMG, I missed the "reversal" part. You made the challenge, I accepted, you balked. It's pretty obvious YOU reversed or, as they say in France: "I surrender". I bet you understand the Frogs pretty well.

Buying my way out? If you're as good as you say this is nothing but a payday for you. If you can't muster up the cash then make it something less though you've let us know you're in your 40's (at least) so I'm sure you've got the scratch.

Pony up or **** off.

 

It is a driving contest. I thought that was clear from the start, or would you rather bake cakes instead?

That must be why I've been asking you to show-up.

Sure, but you have to be there, too.

Are you making thing up as you go along?

Ahhh...more conditions geared to get you out of this. Your bravery never ceases to amaze me.

 

Yes, it was I who wanted to run a cart, and only in dry whether with a $10,000 bet. Right? If you can think of any other absurd conditions, please feel free to humor the forum.

I already told you; I don't race for money. It's a matter of principle. What's preventing you from doing the same? Oh, yea, it's the supposed travel expenses from a guy who can toss 10 grand into this. Is there a soul who believes you?

You know where I stand.

 

Poor little Eff... can't back up his mouth.

You won't live up to your original conditions either at your track or mine. How about a neutral site? I'm guessing the answer is "uh... sorry mister cj but I don't have the stones". We could also run on a gravel track if you'd like... in that case I'd just bring another of "whatever I have". BTW, I have many.

Please just admit your original wager was erroneous and we can all go to bed. I don't think you can do it but try. You can't ever get better until you admit that you have a problem...

 

This is the response we've all seen when a wannabe is called to the carpet. "Uh... ummmm, money? I don't bet money.". You're probably the guy who always tried to talk his way out of a fight.

Toss 10 grand? Believe me Sonnyboy... I didn't get to where I am by throwing money away. This ain't no bet... it's sure money and you know it (which is why you can't accept your original challenge). C'mon tough guy... just say "yes".

I'll call my banker tomorrow to set up an escrow account to accept both of our deposits (though yours will be nothing but rhetoric). What do you say... in or out, Hotshot?

 

I'm more than willing to go at it; you're not. Rewriting history isn't exactly a sign on honesty.

You don't want to bring a car, you won't race in whatever whether happens on that day, and you want to buy your way out. Yea, I'm the one who is bowing out.

What's wrong with what was originally proposed? Oh, I know, you ran out of excuses.

Guess again.

Another new stipulation? Don't you ever quit trying to save face?

There was no wager; it was one of your attempts to chicken out.

Sure I have a problem; you won't run.

 

Fight? Are you 12? Let me ask again, as you're willing to stake $10K, what's this about travel expenses?

Now we're down to bragging. Run or not; it's up to you, but please stop shivering at the thought of actually going through with it.

I did say Yes; you're the one who won't show-up without ridiculous conditions.

I see this is your only way out. What's preventing a wealthy guy like you from running for the fun of it?

 

Hah... you must be a politician. You have an aid or two there helping you spin your "botched" challenge?

I'm happy to run "whatever I have" against your GTI... I'll even grant you a condition not originally mentioned: any surface. Do I still get the 2 seconds?

You're really good about loud but bad at your word. Do you have a word or does it change with your whims?

The fact remains that you offered the challenge, I accepted within your guidelines but you've subsequently changed them. Fact (you apparently need to look this up in Websters).

Bottom line: you bailed. There's no shame in admitting you've been outwitted. There's always a bigger fish...

Now, let's get back to the crux: you can't drive in snow on Advans and believe that must mean nobody else can, either. Guess what... you're wrong. Come on out and I'll be happy to prove it.

 

Wait... it just occurred to me that my posts may be too much for you. Let's make it simple.

Did your original challenge say I could run "whatever I have"?

Even you can answer "yes" or "no" to this. C'mon Sparky... give 'er the old college try.
