I see the stuff he writes when people quote his comment in their reply.

I also see his posts showing up in the thread, but without his content - CC just shows that he's posted something. And no, I'm never curious enough to go and check it out.

This wont be popular around these parts, but I find NYG quite funny.
Provided of course one doesn't take himself or themselves too seriously.

He has an interesting/different take on the world and quite a thick skin.
I can respect that.

Yes, humor is becoming a lost art anymore.

Thank you, sir.

I will let Mr rodnock close the thread. He likes to read about himself, can suggest what to eat, how to exercise, stock tips. He claims to be worldly but shockingly doesn't know diamonds or fancy watches. Oh well, everybody has a blind spot.

Eight pages and I still don't understand the title - Frustrated with Superformance. What's the problem with them? They make a high quality product and their value in a used state is set by the enthusiasts market appreciation for them. If they are too expensive for the budget then for a turnkey type car the Backdraft is probably the most comparable but usually priced lower. After that you are getting into owner-built replica cars which you don't appear interested in. None of them are perfect, especially in the drivetrain system as each is individually motored and many of them with a lot more power and torque than the rest of the drivetrain was ever designed for. They are all hobby and enthusiast cars that take a higher level of maintenance and repair than new cars. My theory is if you can't wrench on the car yourself you don't want one of these.

But anyway, good luck with the search.

It could have just as easily been "Frustrated with Kirkham, ERA, CSX, Bugatti, and Koenigsegg." It's really no different than if hauss wanted to move in to RodKnock's neighborhood. The real estate values would make his teeth fall out. But, it is what it is, and if he really wants one of these cars, in a "high quality" condition (whatever that means), then he needs to dig down deep in to his pocket, past the lint balls and Kleenex remnants, and just bite the bullet and come out with some serious coin....

Hang in there, Mr Hauss. Don't let online cobra bullies tell you how to spend your money, or rush you into a purchase. It's a buyers market.

I don't even own a wrench ....the Superformance I had for years was a very simple car, dependable and trouble free.....they have no power or abs brakes, no power steering or windows, no power top, or anything....compared to a modern car they are simple to repair or maintain. Very very basic almost like a 1940's car...

So, while we wait for Mr. Hauss, to buy his dream car, or coach. What else do we want to talk about? Here we thought this post had run it course by the 50th post

Uhhhh, well, for one thing, usually when I kick someone in the balls there's little doubt that I've done it -- you know, kind of like Lisbeth Salander. RodKnock will probably have to Google that as well.

Actually SPFs do have vacuum boosted brakes. But the rest of the car is from the age of iron and if you know righty-tightly, lefty-loosely you can work on them.

First off we are talking about superformance ,because that is the car I was wanting. Secondly When a car is advertised for one price then changes 3 times it makes one confused ,dare I say even frustrated! Next time talk to BUZZ before trying to get at me he always has something smart to say.

Don't be impressed by Mr. Jeopardy Reject, he can't do a muscle-up nor can he do pistols and butterfly kips.
