You can embed Vimeo in the Photography section, Car Talk, and in Rambling so I am really not sure why we can't in here.

lol fuck. you got me.

I have an idea. You sell that carousel to me, and then you can afford to go! and/or you can sell your pink ce28s and your advans, then you will be able to finish the tsx.

As you have just proven I could quadruple my money if I wanted. However, you buy LEGO for mostly profit anymore whereas I buy them 90% of the time for the enjoyment of putting them together. Not to say I don't try to make a little extra money every once and a while but I definitely will be building the carousel I am sorry.

Unfortunately we learn our detailed areas so that at the end of the day we never use them and just have an mild understanding of them still since we never put them to use so we can manage those below but make the money.

I have come to the conclusion that you are actually a 'product hoarder', essentially meaning that you go and buy certain products and 'lay them around' to look at.

An example of this occurence is your repetitive behavior of buying sets of wheels. You never have sold a set, and you probably never will. You have a problem with letting go of these 'products' that you have purchased.




With all of that being said, SELL ME YOAR DAMN LEGO CAROUSEL NOW! OR DEATH BY NINJA IS IMMINENT.

It's been referred to as 'being in your dark age'...according to AFOLs, or Adult Fans of LEGO, as being a time in one's life where LEGO is non existent in his/her life. Once you return, you have then exited the 'dark age'. lol

-Your decision to buy an IS-F juxtaposed to a NSX.
-Your decision to travel at a rate of speed in excess of maximum sustained speeds in a deer zone at night..in a tsx..that has multiples of thousands of dollars invested in it.
-Your decision to execute a drift on a bridge.
-Your decision to 'hoard' wheels and claim to not have any money
-Your decision not to change the date of a meet greater than a month away.
-Your decision to drink beer instead of going to an epic automotive enthusiast event
-Your decision to not exercise your driving skills/techniques by staying at home this weekend when you should be practicing by putting on an extra 600-700 miles.
-Your decision to continually consume beer at taco mac averaging $5 per beer instead of saving that money to fix your tsx.

...?!

Jason is certainly entitled to his own decisions.

If I were him, the TSX would have become the daily driver, and the newly acquired NSX would then become the weekend warrior/garage queen/whatever you want to call it.

If that were to have happened, the TSX, by default, would never be drifted into a guardrail. The NSX, due to it's rare nature, would never be put in danger because it's just not worth devaluing the car like that into a guardrail.

So with that being said, all cars would be intact. He would be the KING of acurazine by maintaining 2 prestine Acuras. All would be glorious, and he would have no issues with driving to events.

But this is all hindsight.

Jason, please make better decisions from this point on.

Thank you Sir,

Your Dear friend Eric.
