what an a$$

red98RT10 · 07-03-2006, 04:41 PM

Do any of you remember the a$$ who came on the site around 6 months ago with the idea that people would pay to smash up a Viper? He would sell advertising space in a website and make videos of people damaging the viper for you. Well, we all predicted that he would lose a bundle and he insisted he would become a millionaire. A quick update shows that the website still exists and he has sold only 6000 spaces out of one million. That's $6000.00 in income for destroying a very nice Gen1. It felt good to see that people have more sense than that!

he got what he deserved then

That's one Business I was glad to see fail.

Only around 5000 GEN Is where made no telling how many are left. Smashing a piece of automotive history makes absoulutly no sense.

IF I can sell a million spots, and IF I can get "x" amount of dollars for each one, then I'll be a millionaire easy...

Could you imagine if you approached a banker with that business plan? He'd show you to the door-

If you really want to get ticked off go to his web site and watch him interviewing kids as young a 9-10 or so as he lets them key the car. He says..."Have you ever keyed a Viper before?" Like it's the coolest thing on earth. That's great, get young kids interested in keying cars, just beyond understanding.

Sad part about the story is that there are 6,000 other idiots in addition to him.

I am glad that he did lose money. Too many people out there are already prone to vandalize our rides already and they do not need any more encouragement from idiots like that.

dont get me started.

we could write a book on everything that was wrong from the start.

but they thought they were smarter than everyone on this forum, and on the alley forum, who tried to convince them that it didnt make sense, and was destined to fail with almost certainty.

FOR HEAVENS SAKE, ATLEAST CREATE YOUR OWN BANDWAGONS. dont jump on one that is starting to go over a cliff.

i still to this day dont understand why you need $1M to open a bar.

You should see his Viper girls too.....nasty, ugly skanks that they are ... oh wait, are they really guys? Hopefully he looses his shirt.

All I can say is what a dumb azz!

Very predictable results from the efforts of a true
A s s Hole. What more could be said?

Paul Hawker · 07-03-2006, 11:01 PM

Probably just close down his site, skip with the $6K. Won't smash the Viper.

FE 065 · 07-03-2006, 11:08 PM

Since his site shows 2 Vipers, one for smashing and one for not, I'd wondered if the abused Viper was a wreck he'd bought cheap somewhere..

I know one of the guys involved in that project. From what I understand, they have fully repaired the car and it looks/runs great, even with something like 120K miles on the odometer.

While I will admit that it was a strange idea to raise money, I don't see how it makes them a-holes, or whatever. I wasn't privy to their original threads about it here, so I don't know what impression they left, but it's just a 'gimmick'. I don't get all the harsh responses here.
