Why do I have to be so broke *sad face* *cry*

[djfux69]

You're serious aren't you?? I don't even really care about the money either. How much would you literally pay somebody to take pics of their car just to prove they had it??

i dont want you to prove anything. i want you to add another skyline to the site. a car as rare as yours should be adored by the masses. so post the pic so we all can enjoy.

Considering that the Skyline is a right hand drive car ( good thing for him ), he may have escaped with his life.

DJ, I perfectly understand your wanting Skyline to prove he has a Skyline by posting pics, but give him a break. As CP members, you both go way back and we've always been here to discuss the cars we love regardless, not to pester each other for proof of ownership. Even I don't own a digi cam.

So for the sake of peace, let's not needle him about it if he doesn't post pics. That's a waste of time, and space on the forum.

I think it would be nice if we could see pics of such a rare car in the U.S., but if he doesn't want to take them, you shouldn't bother the man.

Those pics always make me cry and thanks, I don't like repeating myself when I say something I mean it. I'm not being an asshole but I don't take pics of my car when I see them everyday in my life. If you want to see a GT-R, goto Miami there are more than a couple down there.

you have pics of your eclipse online, but none of the good car...... right. ill leave it at that. you wanna regain credibility you know what to do. it doesnt bother me, i mean... its the internet.

but latenight is right, regardless of if you own the skyline or not we can still continue to talk cars.

I had pics of the Eclipse when it was STOCK over 2 1/2 years ago when I got it brand new and I never even HAD the Skyline then. Credibility on the internet?? What is the purpose of that??

[bleh]

Credibility on the internet?? What is the purpose of that??

same thing as real life man... whats the difference? a screen and keyboard?? are you still getting used to the internet? a large portion of people i talk to in forums, i have met in real life.

it just another medium of conversation...

Hallo skyline_r34v,

 

schau doch mal hier zum Thema Zubehör für Andere Automarken (Anzeige)? Eventuell gibt es dort etwas Passendes.

[skyline_r34v]

I've met several people off the internet but internet is still the internet. It's just a computer screen.

[bleh]

yes and when you are talking to people its just sound waves.... man you are stuck in the early 90s when only nerds talked online. your rational is whack, im not a computer screen.

[skyline_r34v]

I know you aren't, did I say you were. I said the internet is the internet, we'll most likely never meet or ever talk on the phone or in person or anything. So why bother proving you have anything to anyone that you'll never see in real life??

[bleh]

its not a matter of proving. its a matter of honesty and credibility.

character matters just as much online as it does in real life. i understand what your saying, but it seems like the internet provides a way to mask insecurities through lies. so while i understand your argument for not having to prove something. that same argument is better applied to a rational as to why one should lie on the internet. just because its the internet, and nobody will ever see me anyway. its just a screen.

in attempts to bring this thread to a close. its not about proving anything as you have said a few times. i guess maybe as surface value, but again thats not the real issue. the important issue is credibility and security. to be brutally honest, in my mind you just have the eclipse. no skyline, no 800hp vr4. you seem a tad insecure with whole internet thing so you lied about it. and thats totally alright. i was sketchy about mentioning my age or that i only owned a civic... dont know why, but i definitely got over that as i continue to grow. anyway, i want to see you giving the thumbs up with a skyline, not proof. i want to see that you are a person with character and not some insecure weirdo on the internet that feels they must mention flashy whatever to gain credibility.

a little too touchy feely? yea im tired, im not even going to proof read it... probably shouldve been left to pm...

[skyline_r34v]

Well you know I've told you on AIM that I could careless if anybody believes me of what I have. I don't mind people thinking I'm lying, that's fine by me. I can't change their opinions and I don't need too. People are allowed to have their opinions and I'm not going to try to do anything to change that. I know what I have and I know what I don't have, that's the only thing that matters to me.

Proving to somebody on the internet that I have "character" or "credibility" is merely one's take on how they act on the internet. I'm not "hiding" anything, I'm not "insecure" and I don't have a reason to lie to people on the internet to gain "credibility". As I've said, I could careless about credibility on the internet so lying in order to gain credibility would completely contradict that statement.

I'm not here to showcase my cars, I'm not here to gain peoples approval of the cars I own. I'm here solely to talk about cars just like everybody else. I can careless about anything else. If I wanted to showcase my cars I'd just go somewhere like www.cardomain.com and post up pics of all my cars just so people could respond back by "wow I'm jealous" or "wow awesome car garage you're so lucky". That's not my objective on the internet and never will be.

So in my closing I say to you, believe what you want. If you believe I have the cars I do (which are really nothing spectacular compared to some of the supercar owners here) then that's fine, if you don't believe I do own them then that's fine as well. The choice is yours, I'm not going to try to make you believe one way or another.

Credibility on the internet ( such as a forum ) isn't going to make or break anyone's life, but it matters in that it effects how we are percieved by others and directly relates to the quality of discussion. It's the criterion by which mods are made partly, and Carpassion wouldn't be nearly as good if everyone were flat out lying, and nobody would come here for honest advice.

All that being said, this debate really boils down to weather someone has or hasn't got a particular car, so it's really small stuff. I think everyone has made their point, and the topic at hand flew out the window a while back, so I hope nobody minds if I lock this.
