Thanks for the response! I agree. By definition we are wrong though, so we just have to nod at the finance folks here

Thanks for the response!

Google adsense for example. The paychecks are deposited directly to my brokerage account. It is still not enough to consider my vehicles assets.

4. Kind of, it gets me to work... It also costs me alot of money - track days and prep are not cheap.
Great answers thanks!

3. I like your perspective on this.

4. I spend too much on track stuff too.

Videos to come soon. I am using real money in the brokerage account posted earlier. I will be doing videos in a similar style to what I am doing in the "under the hood" section on this site. There are lots of fun money issues that come up with vehicle ownership. The real world is incredibly epic when you make it work for you. It is all too easy to let the system work AGAINST you.

"Well into six figures".... please. Give it a break. I've seen more spent on a wardrobe in a year's time. Bragging about "money" to a varied audience is very distasteful, FYI.

But, to answer your questions:

1. Do you finance or pay cash for your cars? Young moo-la ba-bay!
2. How do you justify your decision as a "smart" decision? I enjoy driving.
3. Do you consider your car to be an asset or a liability? Neither, just a car.
4. Does your car bring you income? No, it doesn't.

Yes, close the thread.

Too long. Did not read. I was trolling the troll JonBoy. I am flattered that you still haven't figured that out. You are certainly dumber than the rest.

No, dumb is the shit you actually [i]believe[i]. Especially concerning economics.

I was upset by a racist comment I found on this website by JonBoy. Call me dumb. I welcome it. I am leaving. I picked on JonBoy to show how volatile this community is. It was a simple matter of copy and paste.

Here is a recent example of the volatility:

This is referred to as the pot calling the kettle black. Unfortunately for you, I was trolling JonBoy. I do not have money. I copied my persona from this very section. If you think my commentary is hilarious, you will get a real laugh out of this investing section. I can't tell if the folks here are serious or just trolling like I was. Either way it is an incredible train wreck of misinformation.

I deleted all of my content from this website. I want to have nothing to do with some of the people here. I already apologized to others that I may have unintentionally offended. It was suggested by some that my maintenance videos be "stickied". Again, I am not ok with this. I get more web traffic than I can handle through google.

Well, in that case, I apologize for being a total dick. The wardrobe comment wasn't referring to myself, it was referring to relatives, as I said I've seen it, damn sure haven't done it. I personally wouldn't condone such frivolous stupidity, lol. Anyhow, now that it's out of the bag, I'll let it die.

Thank you for being friendly. I totally deserve the negativity though. Another member on here had a very good point that I appeared to be "mining for views". I do not want to come off that way to the S2000 community. I decided it would be best to remove all of my video stuff. Most of the traffic comes from google anyway and I don't want to piss anyone else off here.

If you (or anyone else I offended) are ever in Southern California I will buy you a beer.
