We used to have a guy like this on Rennlist. GhettoRacer, i.e. Frank Lin. Talked big about all of the cars that he drove, all of his credentials, but it turned out to be all talk. Got very entertaining when he really started to crack. There was even a separate forum devoted to him that he was restricted to--we called it his "cage". He finally imploded and the 'net hasn't heard much from him at all.

I just can't pull away from watching trainwrecks--it's probably the same reason that I perversely used to watch Cops... (embarassment)

He was also very modest about his accomplishments and pleasant to talk to....
They usually are.

Plus, with 4 college degrees, you would think the guy could avoid run-on sentences and could use punctuation properly...

Believe it or not, I used to be an active Rennlist member and do remember him.

Like I said I'm probably outgrowing the image of Evo's and developing a much more desirable car as a future prospect.
are we allowed to brag now? Cool. I have a more extensive education background than you but what the HELL does it have to do with what you have written about the cars except that you could not have afforded to purchase them with your own money.

I have raced cars professionally (did so before college and before I went back to school for my professional and graduate degrees) also....I suspect many here have. It does not give us the endall be all opinions (they are like buttholes you know...everyone has one and thinks theirs is the one that does not stink).

What do you expect? You come to an EVO forum and try and poo all over a car that people here obvously like.

Did you expect we would see what you wrote...see your "credentials", realize we were 'wrong' to buy an EVO, change the errors of our ways and ask which car we were to buy from now on?

This thread is hilarious! I had some really funny stuff typed out, but I don't want to get banned for flaming so I am leaving it out. Damn censorship.

Have you finished that MS in Mechanical Engineering yet? It has been several hours since your last post.

Did you do your thesis on the GT3RS?

But it is SO entertaining!!!!....seeing people argue so vehemently with a college kid who is mildly schizophrenic....I just can't pull away from this thread!!!!.....kinda like watching a capricious soap opera with one impetuous comments after another...OMG!!! I LOVE IT!!!

First a test drive....then a decent review...then a heavily biased automobile history analysis with some disturbing pedophilic comments....then all the rebuttals from all walks of life.....then the rebuttals to the rebuttals......then a PCA instructor came on board!!!......then whole-hearted advices about the GT3RS to a young yet schizophrenic Jedi......then the schizophrenic young Jedi turns out to be a well-learned scholar with 4 degrees and one in the making.......then a ex-pro driver came on board..........

I love EVOM. How come our TV show can't be this entertaining...???
