Spf sold. Lots of good folks here and in the cobra world, but you might find your community grows and thrives more if you do a better job policing the unusually high number of uneducated, unfriendly people roaming the cobra group. As an outsider, i can tell you this forum stands out as particularly unhelpful and unfriendly compared to forums for a lot of other makes. So for you good folks, enjoy and do what you can. For all you other jackwagons, well, so long.

It will be hard to miss someone who averaged fewer than 5 posts per year since 2006.

"Cutting the Heard" is not a bad thing. Sour Grapes about something here? Sorry to hear that. Someone was mean? Hurt your feelings?
Best of luck finding a better, more informative site. But wait a minute...you sold the SPF so we are of no use. Thanks for the heartfelt goodbye.

22 of those were only to sell that gift to the Cobra universe he created. And if I hadn't asked embarrassing questions there would have been less. Never got more than junk science and personal abuse to the hard questions.

Gonna miss the guy that created the theory of 1% Cobra powertrain loss. They'll love him on the Vette forums-he'll teach them a lot.

The only guy lamer and possibly dumber is the guy that swallowed the BS and bought that gem...

Yep, I must have slept through that math class in school. The Tuner and Vette forums will welcome him as their "Yoda". I hear they are a great bunch.

Urban Dictionary definition

2. Jack wagon
n. Slang term derived from the Freight or Chow wagons used in the late 19th century. These were often the last wagons in a wagon train, making them the least favorable to drive due to the dust, waste, and debris from the front of the train.

When used as in insult it refers to one's lack of intelligence, implying the insultee is capable of no more than operating a Chow wagon.

You're doing it wrong, you Jack wagon!

I think your official title is Chief Executive Jackwagon or CEJ for short.

To CC's official CEJ then, do you think the sale price breaks down as follows:

Cobra $55,000.00
Research & Development $1.00
Hyperbole Premium Paid By Consumer $4,999.00

Total Sales Price $60,000.00

[patrickt]

I question whether he really sold it or not. I think his whole post was just a "face saving" ploy.

As CEJ, I find this a really sad situation.

In another thread on here, members are helping a guy with Webers on a VW---that's great!... There's no end to the kindness and experience freely given here. It's what makes us a great site.

That $1 wasted on R & D, was reallv the wrong, useless parts he changed over 8 years to wind up with a crate motor putting out its advertised HP anyway. Instead, interaction here would have avoided all of that and provided info for the best parts and services. What Othhoff did to sort the chassis is the only smart money he spent.

But no-he had to prove that he was smarter than all of us by feeding us 'Shopped pics and the worst hyperbole since the Pontiac Aztec. He only came here to brag () and sell it. He was totally unaware how many 600 HP road race cars actually live here. Dumbass.
Nah-none of us would pick up on that, right??

And that's it? Seven years on this board and you post 32 times and then leave like that? Apparently, in a huff? What happened to manners around here?

This is another reason for me to love this site, because I learn something new every day.
For example, I have never heard the term jackwagon before, so not only do I have almost infinite resources here to answer everything I could hope to know about Cobras, but I also expand my vocabulary.

Club Cobra is the best!

Congrats on the sale and have a happy life.

I found this to be the funniest part of his post. This place bends over backwards for folks. We even take up collections for guys when they hit on hard times. Yes, yes, yes, I know we can, at times, be a bit "uncivil," but, on the whole, I think that's the exception, rather than the rule. I'm wondering if he's just really irritated because, in reality, he did not sell his car, or he took a bath on it. He didn't post the sales price.

The thing about this site is that everyone pretty much checks in the egos at the door and busts their asses to help each other, no matter your station in life. We have no "Yoda"...well, maybe Ned.

You probably didn't know that Yoda was originally to be played by a monkey. Yoda Was Almost Played By A Monkey In 'Star Wars' <seriously>. Yes, I know what you're thinking... but I am not going to segue that in to a quickie cheap shot at Chas or RodKnock.

Over the past two years, I've asked quite a few questions on this forum. In hindsight, some of them were pretty dumb questions, but nobody ever jumped on me. I'll bet I could reword the same exact questions with a dash of arrogance and I'd get all kinds of "uncivil" responses. I'm sure there's a message in there somewhere
