Third example of astro coming out of nowhere to publicly chastise a mod. Why don't you guys handle that kind of thing behind the scenes? Weird.

 

You forgot this one. That is Ludacris. --->

 

 

Because it's important that everyone is aware of what is, and isn't acceptable behaviour from our moderators. Transparency is key.

 

Hey, I have no issues about receiving a buttkick/reprimand. But, I already raised this...and there are two threads about it too.


Anyhow, no issues here. We'll take your lead, astro....

 

J.. we have that smiley now. see ->

Yummy is a great mod as all of them are (I judge greatness by the number of times they have put me in check, they all have, many times) .

I gave H some info that's not in this thread. Whether or not the OP has an LFA on order wasn't the point of the shenanigans. OP hasn't violated the terms of membership, nor does he have to disprove the info I've gathered but it definitely looks like the same member who deleted their acct.. a Mr. Moneyman2011. My info has personal information so I didn't post it here. Otherwise I would have.

 

Majofo, take a break from this thread. We need your sleuthness in the 3G forum asap!

 

OP you know you can just say i'll show proof when it comes, you dont have to give in to posting an order slip. Also you shouldnt get butt hurt from people you dont know on the internet. Just play along and come february you can have a picture with a caption "all you bitches can go to hell "

Simple.

Visit the other threads in the forum to see why this is a great place

 

Holy shit, Moneyman? AGAIN? Homie needs to get him a hobby.

And collecting the skin of dead hookers is NOT a hobby

 

Let's look at it this way. They're going to lose money on all 500 cars.

500 cars at $400,000 a piece (that's being generous, but realistic as well) = $200,000,000. There's reports it costs around $1 million to build them after the development costs of the last 10 years are said & done, which (if true) means we're looking at $500,000,000 just to build the entire production line. A loss of $300,000,000 while small in Toyota's bank account, is not one they are going to make back & then some within' any significant amount of time, esp. considering that $300 million loss doesn't factor in the money spent on a decade of research & development, just the cost to build the car.

The LFA is nothing different from the Veyron; an engineering feat done only to show the world what Toyota was capable of. The difference is that VAG will make their money back much faster to offset the Veyron costs as long as they continue to make $2 million+ one-off models for customers. Toyota doesn't have that kind of market though the Nurburgring & the newer Nurburgring model are good first attempts.

As for the LFA's successor to compete with the likes of the new Enzo, forgive me if I seem very skeptical. The LFA at $145,000 more is still behind the Enzo's grandson. I can't see Toyota managing to develop the LFA successor to rival Ferrari's next supercar without insane amounts of money being dumped into it, whilst Ferrari make every cent back knowing they'll be able to ask $1 million+ for it.

 

$1M each

Maybe total considering R&D.

Considering they founded LEAN methodology.. this could be a dealbreaker.

 

And not sharing with others

 

It's a car built to showcase what they can do, so I wouldn't doubt a $1 million tag to build each one. Hell, it costs Bugatti $5 million to build 1 Veyron, not including the 10 years of development. $5 million simply covers the cost of materials needed & build time.

 

Oh the irony of the whole situation. Never doubt Joe's sleuthing skillz, he is legend.

OP, this is how it's done in 30 seconds.

Sorry no bacon

 

^^^I call bullshit on that picture...I have a similar one with some Chevy Nova keys.

 

I can't imagine price of materials and labor would be so much. Damn..

 

Don't trip, I got the waffles brah keys to my LFA and 4door GTR

Sorry no bacon either, I'm a Jewish Filipino

 

Well, far be it from me to tell you how to run things, but (were I a mod) I would have appreciated the courtesy of a behind-the-scenes warning (or at least an effort to get my side of the story) before the public reaming. But, perhaps, that's just me.

 

Totally Photoshopped.

 

Hate you.

 

No one is exempt from a public reprimand.

Enough with the BS. OP I would suggest no longer posting in the thread. It will die a quick death as the llamas graze to another thread.

 

Okay.

 

lol

 

So it's all good as long as OP shows a Lexus key in front of his laptop

 

Great.. MTEAZY is here. Who let him out of his cage?

 

That was me. My bad. I turned around for a second to grab his dinner after unlocking the door to the cage and he got out.

Ran right out the front door and almost got hit by a car.

Then he chased the UPS truck up the street and I never saw him again.

 

he wont have a key till february, he really cant do anything other than show paperwork which he wont show for obvious reasons although he could black it out? But i dont think he likes us right now to do all that crap.

 

Words to live by: don't hate the playa hate the game.

 

I guess we all have to wait until Feb find out...

 

awesome read guys

 

Can anyone explain why a $200k Ferrari needs an exposed metal key?


That's no offense to you Rick. You California is badassness as well.

 

 

^^^I actually thought that too...but I guess for the true car enthusiast etc...Ferrari will say that they're owners would miss the feeling of turning the key to hear the motor crank rather than giving into the push start button like your'e turning on a microwave.

 

Is it a crime to turn a key nowadays? I don't get it. Have we gotten to a point where doing something in a traditional way is a bad thing?

Stop the world, i wanna get off.

This is starting to remind me of that one guy a while back that said he is a swinger even though he is married and is the breadwinner bringing home all the money and makes all the decisions for his wife etc.

 

Cali is push to start.

The metal key is to turn off the pussy magnet.

 

 

Need I remind everyone that Abcdecanc#1 was thinking of buying a 200k mile decommissioned Police Crown Vic.
