Abcdecanc#1, you have to cut the guys here some slack.....we've been desensitized to stories like this....alot has happened in teh past where we've ended up with some epic threads when OP's have been called out.

So Ill be honest that I too am skeptical.

This is totally different I mean come one the other guy owned a 2011 4G SH-AWD, was 42, big house in New York, spoke how much of a bargain and how great the 4G was, wife was in love with a Honda too IIRC, made their money in commercial real estate and finance, Jewish too?

I feel like I'm in an episode of Seinfeld.

I really hope you prove us wrong, let's put it that way..

Now I see what everyone is talking about. Nope. Not me. Sorry. What kind of a looser would do what you are talking about?

Clarification, I (along with my investment partners) buy and sell commercial real estate. In some situations we will provide financing to buyers. Does that clarify what I do for a living? My income is not a salary like others, so I can go months or even a year between transactions and they are not the same each time. In 2008-09 we did not sell any properties, but purchased lots of depressed properties and even ones in bankruptcy. We made very little profit during that time period (rents minus expenses). We are holding on to many of the properties for a longer period to wait for them to rise in value a little more. Commercial real estate runs on different valuations based on rent values, duration of the leases and the percentage of occupancy.

I bought my TL because I did not like the 12.

My wife does not like the Pilot. She just feels that it serves the purpose.

I don't live in a big house in my opinion.

Hope this resolves everyone's concerns. Don't know what else to say.

I can't speak to this guys. I am not the looser you are talking about. I have seen a few black/umber TL cars in the area over the years, but I can't say if they are 09,10, or 11 models. For all I know it is the same car I have seen over and over. Most of my sightings are when I go north of me further up in the county from where I typically drive.

We all good now? I hope. This kind of conversation is not what I was hoping to have. I think talking about cars is more fun. I was not thinking I would have to defend myself.

Can we cool it now? Let's stay on topic please.

Nobody will drive it but me, but I will drown all of you skeptics with pictures and video. In fact if we put together a meet where a bunch of us can get together for a beer, you will all see what you want to see for yourself.

I assume you know that one is a terrorist group and the other is a food.

I hope you are kidding. If not the term is Hamas, Google it. These are people that have killed the innocent and American soldiers have been injured or killed by their hands. I would not joke about such things. Can we get back on topic here?

in case you are wondering why I picked the screen name I did

Abcdecanc#1 is a managed futures investment company that I think is very good. They are on the conservative side and have performed well for me as an investment. Since I like them, I though that would be a unique name for this forum.

I actually think Abcdecanc#1 is a cool name.

Mine wouldn't look right if I changed it to Cal PERS

Abcdecanc#1, I can tell from your sincere confusion that you are probably telling the truth. The only thing you have going against you is the rampant displays of thread making from compulsive liars. There really are people who make up stories, actually believe them themselves, and try to convince others to believe them as well. All the rest of the nonsense that you are seeing here is just inside humor from the old farts of AZine in all their "wisdom".

I believe you, or at least I want to believe you. That car is really freaking sweet, and I have to say that I am jelly. Still, the only way to truly prove that all of this is real is if you take a picture of yourself and your wife in front of a blue LFA with plates in your driveway while you hold an AcuraZine sign and your wife holds a stick of butter.

It's the only way.


1000 rep points will be awarded if you get your wife to butter her nipples for the picture.
