Blocking will definitely increase the value of this site for yours truly.

funny. if u look at the Evan's tribute thread, the real trolls are the 1 or 2 or 3 members who post over 300x, make every thread into their own pissing contest.

Yeah I can agree. its about legitimacy, and proving it. ok. i think we all can agree if you spend that kind of capital, you deserve something. but don't force it on folks. if thats what the trolls need, more power to them. this site is great for information on non-real cobras which is the really interesting content, because of the volume and variety. not so good if you need to prove yourself to the world.

I'll tell you "funny" and what is trolling. When someone posts his thoughts on the Cobra experience to a new member and potential buyer and has ZERO Cobra experience, doesn't own one and likely never will. That's a troll.

And a troll is someone who posts eBay auctions for an SPF and CSX Slabside, in a discussion about 427 values. Then can't spot the differences between the two slabsides. That's a troll.

your insecurity is showing again. adopt a pet, mistress, wife, have a baby. U got too much free time.

Evan (real1) said good-bye to the Cobra hobby world with a big F-U, but u can't let him go. keep talking about him like a girl dumped at the prom. u posted 300x in the Evan Tribute thread, giving him advice how to sell his Shelby. I don't see u talking smack about new owner of csx4206? New owner apparently liked the stories and the badges.

in the end, u do care about the shelby badges.

A classic post from a troll.

Here's a few more:

Looks like a chick car, then and now

A slabside is a "chick's car"? Who's "insecure" now? Time to look in the mirror NYG.

Bugs in the mouth? Oy vey.

might i suggest u worry about your day job and let cobra guys whatever they want

Let's accuse Bill of being troll.

Now here's one of your classic troll posts, where you take on Kirkham, Shelby, Denbeste and McCluskey all in one post.

cobra guys will forget and forgive McCluskey for faking chassis. I'm told he and his company does great car restoration.

Mr. Kirkham calls these 'cars' a work of art? are they? most art and art historians judge art by artists and originality, one offs. Picasso painted himself. he didn't hire a team to mix his paints or paint for him.

if the facts are correct, there are 2 new 'competition' Cobras, built by two different companies with one car part source- DonBeste. is that art or just great forgery?

I spent my youth plugged into the art scene in NYC and interned at Sotheby's NYC. This type of 'shelby art" would be considered as forgery and a crime. no respected gallery, art historian, or museum would do business like Shelby.

I guess car art is different. car people will pay top dollar for a really good story.

go back to MrMustang quote on page 1 of this thread, "greed makes good people do..."
