Default Bring Back Lowmiler Pole

He's about as passionate as it comes when talking 928's.

He might not be too technical, but he certainly knows the market.

What say you?


... I meant Poll, but can't edit the title.

Actually he knows how to "stage" a car for sale ...make it look as nice and stock as possible and flip it for the high dollar. Just a used car dealer without the license . Not that their is anything wrong with that

I was just going to start this thread.

I like Todd, and have had many a conversation with him. I do wish he was back, even though he bailed on SITM....

Ignore Sterlings comment. Sterling and I have gone rounds on this topic.

I voted yes.

Next thread will be "bring back ????" Who's got the banlist?

It's the new math.

Also, isn't 187 a police code for something?

I can't in good conscience vote without knowing what "bloviate" means and I"m too full and lazy to google it.

There is some validity here. Everything free on the internet is free for personal use only, anything related to commercial use has to pay.

Todd finds exceptional cars and makes them better, likes to talk about the results, and took rejection very personally. I would like to see that mended, but unless he wants to return and has a real chance of that happening a poll is just further abuse. Regardless he has my vote.

Something does not compute… 12 replies a 171 views and 522 votes? I’m guessing someone knows how to defeat the system.

Straight from wikipedia…To bloviate means "to speak pompously and excessively" or "to expound ridiculously". A colloquial verb coined in the United States, it is commonly used with contempt to describe the behavior of politicians, academics, pundits or media "experts," sometimes called bloviators, who hold forth on subjects in an arrogant, tiresome way.

Todd is a good man. Sterling has an interesting perspective, albeit somewhat harsh- IF the guy isn't harming anyone, who is to say that he should be taxed when he gets help. Plenty of guys on here using the list and it's resources to make money. Some sponsor, some not.

Respectfully Sterling, you guys don't get along. He doesn't get along with Gretch either....(to put it mildly).... I suspect that's how the poll went goofy. Seeing that he basically had a meltdown and really wanted to cook the goose of a now current Mod, he has much stiffer odds of making it back (which is a shame, because if he deserves to return according to the consensus, and the Mod keeps him out because of personal reasons- that would be wrong IMO)

I say YES, LOW MILER is a nice guy who likes the cars and the people, and brings some of the nicest looking cars we've seen! Bring Todd Back!

I agree with Sterling....Todd would need to be handled as a sponsor and not a regular member as he does make money at this.
