i hope the guy's kidding about ocd...ocd wouldnt affect someone like that. "it makes me buy cars and not use them..." he's either just a showoff, or a car collector. he likes the attention of people saying "you have so much cool stuff, why dont you use it?!?!" do the world a favor, dont play into it.

Not being a hater but the guy is either the biggest showoff in the world or the biggest e-wannabe

My guess is the second and someday he'll be found out.

I know a few well off people and they don't go online bragging. In fact, they don't brag in real life.

I agree it's not "OCD"

Probably go with "hoarding" issues.

Looks for too much praise and want's to be accepted. His inquiries seem pretty sincere though....

I don't think it's OCD.

Just sounds like a guy who wants "perfect" cars and wants to keep them that way. His enjoyment comes out of ownership instead of driving. It also sounds like he has the income to support his "habit."

- some notes:

guy in the supra forum looking to purchase a RHD car to sit in his garage and "look cool". the discussion quickly turns because of this guys' sig:

01 Viper RT10 (30 miles on OD)
01 Matrix Ducati (0 miles on OD)
04 Escalade w/26'' wheels
04 Go Motorboard - Stock for now

The guy claims to have OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder). He does not even drive some of his cars. He also lists some other toys him and his brother have:

NSX - Car is going to radical....Only 10k miles
70 Nova SS 396 BB w/ only 10k original miles
99FRC built by LPE, 20'' wheels, with only 6 miles on the OD


One of his posts: "No offense taken..........Yes, but when you have it this bad, you tell yourself the shrink will give you pills to make you normal and you'll use the stuff.......See, It's never going to stop......I buy cloths, computers, Ipods, etc........and never open the boxes or take the tags off of things. It's all kept new in the closet...."

daily drivers:
Gen 1 Viper,
4-door Accord
S 500
Caddy Wagon

What a waste. The rotors will be frozen, the tires flat. I hope that he stored them properly.
