A place to discuss all things ADM
#6841
I agree with you as it's not reasonable for a new Porsche customer to get a GT car at MSRP but what I have problem with is where dealers don't take care of their repeat customers and effectively have them pay the same or similar ADM as the newbie guy. Take care of your good customers is all that I'm saying.

You have an axe to grind with PNH? CJ has provided some great info to forum members over the years and has never pumped himself up from what I've seen.
His shared info has also helped many, including myself in getting into a GT car.
So what's your damage man? Even after the timeout, you're still the antagonist...

Amen brother but I suspect that dealers pay 10-20% below what they initially list their inventory for sale from my knowledge.

How about if we give DD some breathing room? Upon his return, I feel like he’s being attacked more than he’s attacking. If we were all hanging out in person, we’d all get along.

Let's be honest for a moment here. Since I've been back posting from a 30-day suspension which I was never warned or informed as to what post specifically violated the posting "guidelines" set forth by RL, I havent attacked anyone. And it's been pretty obvious that I've been trolled pretty hard here in the last week.
You'd have to be "blind" not to see that.
For the record, I've never called anyone "stupid" or a "moron" for paying an ADM (like another poster here). I've never called any dealer a "stealership" on this forum either (like another poster repeatedly has). And I've never disclosed my private message history here (as two other posters did last month) which according to the RL Posting Guidelines (September 2020) is "strictly forbidden and will result in a ban of indeterminate duration."
To my knowledge, these 2 posters were not banned and in fact were "trolling" me pretty hard last week as soon as they found out that my 30-day suspension was over. In fact, one of them has posted about me 8x out of their last 12 posts, after having previously remarking that they've "posted like 2 times in the past 3 weeks and none have been about you. Sorry bud. You aren't that popular." The other repeatedly posts that RL has gone "downhill" and just plain seems angry all the time, repeatedly lashing out at other fellow posters, and not just me.
And as opposed to others in this thread, I've certainly not "tripped" over how other people choose to spend their money or whether their GT car is a garage queen or gets hammered at the track. Those are highly judgemental opinions that (to me) have no place on a "TECHNICAL DISCUSSION" forum as this one has been promoted. And for those that have suggested that I try and catch up to their "mileage" and watch them do a "parade" lap at Laguna Seca during Rennsport Reunion #7, I seriously question if they'd make the same comment to fellow RL community member, treynor who I'm actually acquainted with.
And now, after posting a used GT car data-point in an ADM Thread that was a reply to a poster quoting a previous post of mine about the used GT car market . . . a poster claims that I have an "axe to grind" with Porsche of North Houston and in truly bizarre fashion brings up CJ Wilson implying that I'm attacking him???
Sorry, but I dont get it.
There's one helluva "double-standard" at work here. "Rodsky" has mentioned it on more than one occasion on this thread.
This doesnt seem like much of a brotherly GT car community to me.
I've got better things to do with my free time.
Take care folks.

I have no idea what you're talking about.
This is an ADM thread and I posted a data-point for a used GT car.
I simply replied to the previous poster who quoted a post of mine and had mentioned a Gentian Blue GT3 at PNH.
I have never once called any dealer here a stealership as other posters have repeatedly done.
I'm friendly with CJ Wilson.
What does he have to do with Porsche of North Houston?

But you certainly have an issue with PNH.. considering you paid an ADM, it's strange..

It can even go away through the keyboard when communicating privately one on one in a friendly manner, outside the glare of public attention. It's in the nature of these forums that they sometimes bring out the worst in people. Social media has its perils.

You must be blind because you personally attacked me, and a few other members including Manifold, and I reported you several times for your out of line posts. You clearly come across as being bitter and resentful with your posts when people talk about getting their cars at MSRP. Funny how you were giving him **** that he was full of it that he'd ever get a GT at MSRP and low and behold he did. Stop while you are behind and go drive your car since the torrential rains are over.

Since my name was invoked, I think DD won't mind my sharing that he and I communicated via PM and readily agreed to be polite with each other in the threads going forward; I'm totally good with burying the past. You all can see the result of that communication. I encourage others who have friction to similarly communicate via PM and agree to a fresh start (USC and DD, I'm looking at you two in particular).

Your reaching out was genuinely appreciated.
You're gonna love your new 992 GT3.
