Ford's GT allocation decisions basically ended up being a social media popularity contest. People who've owned Ford vehicles all their life including the previous GT were passed over for Youtuber's that have never touched a Ford in their life. It's really unfortunate imo.

I find these threads about Shmee so shocking that I find it hard to be a active member of Rennlist. I can’t be a active member of a community that find it okay to treat a fellow car enthusiast like this. Doesn't a lot of the post in this thread, and others about Shmee, clearly breach forum guidelines?
I don’t say you got to like him, but just because he exposes himself on YouTube doesn't give grown men the right to write mean stuff about him! The stuff here is more hateful and mean than what kids write in the comments section on YouTube.
I do hope all of you who are fathers set a better example to your kids in how to treat other people, than what's beeing shown here.
No wonder cyber bullying is such major problem among teens and kids, when grown successful men find if acceptable to behave like this.
And how can you call him a flipper? He has put so many miles on his car that he has lost money owning it! In the months he owned it, he put more miles on it than most GT3 owners do in 2-3 years. Just as an example: There is 64 2015 GT3/RS for sale in Germany. 30 of them have done more than 10.000 km and 34 has done less than 10.000 km.
The GT3 market in mainland Europe is also very different than in the US and UK. You could without owning any previous Porsche’s get an allocation if you just went to a dealer right after it was launched.

Are you kidding? Shmee is everything that is wrong with YouTube at the moment, do you realize his target audience is 12 years old kids and they take him as a role model? He's cheap entertainment like McDonalds is cheap fast food. Nice to see the Porsche factory, but I don't care if it's him presenting it. Cyber Bullying and bullying in general is wrong and should be enforced more, but don't confuse criticism with bullying. It's a fact that those guys want kids to believe they got their wealth from their channel when YouTube wouldn't even cover their insurance cost. Look how many cars he got, you think it's YouTube money?

I wonder what % of exotic cars (exotic sports cars, hyper cars, super cars) actually get driven rather than shown.

I know friends submitted ownership resumes and videos, but it seems a big miss to sell the cars to vloggers. What’s the end game? YouTube personality reviews the car, drives it in some flashy rallies doing illegal things then flips it off to a collector that will never again drive it?

but crazy to see yet another .2 GT3 owner moving on. Likely to flip and try to profit whether he will admit it or not, or bought into hype of the car and snatched an allocation before thinking if it really was the right car to buy.
Bingo. Sad too because it's a hell of a car.

If or perhaps when the GT cars depreciate again, these self proclaimed non flippers will disappear as quickly as the flippers who sell up at once....

I rather like Ford and how they did it. You apply to get one. You sign a "no flipping" document and you pay the price if you do. At least they are keeping people in the car and totally take out the flipping aspect.

Yeah but better than what is going on with Porsche and really no different. Porsche/dealers handing out allocations to business people (capitalists) trying to make a buck. I real enthusiast that wants to buy the car to drive it can't unless they of course pay the flipper fee.

Now a days people don't want to say anything. Heaven to betsy you actually challenge someone views or give a different perspective. Yes this is also how I have raised two wonderful boys. BE RESPECTFUL first and foremost but you do not have to go along and be a lemming and just agree with everything and if you think something is wrong or could be better then share that opposing view. For you to think that just because Schmee is on youtube, everyone has to either love it and not say anything is ludicrous. If you don't want the criticism, then don't go public on YT. Sure hope you don't leave RL because I am "bullying" you.
