Looks like Pesto or his brother has made an appearance

I need a GT3 RS *this weekend* NY/NJ/CT/PA - Rennlist Discussion Forums

Wonder what he does for a living...must be a Wall Street type.

TARP dollars at work.

That may not be him. (superquant)

jkarolyi · 06-01-2010, 07:44 AM

I didn't really think it was him...just another example of the same type.

He is obviously a quant "quantitative analyst", Wall Street speak for a guy who analyzes market behavior mathematically. With all the bot trading going on these days, many of these guys are making obscene amounts of money. WS salaries are already ridiculous - a good quant has a lot of competition for his services.

There is nothing like all that positive reinforcement to create a Pesto-like personality.

What exactly makes you think it's him? I read the whole thread.

I wouldn't say he's returned to rennlist. The thread is almost a year old.........

I remember seeing this thread last year. Someone pointed out that it was him. I'm sure he knows what a "Quant" is but is just pretending to be one. It is good to I.D. him so you don't waste a precious second believing a single word he says/types.

I don't think it's Pesto. I picture Pesto to be a bit older and certainly longer winded.

Good on this guy for the purchase. If I had $150 large sitting around that wasn't needed for food, shelter, or retirement it would take me about 5 minutes to decide I "needed" a GT3RS. Of course I driven one if ever so breifly so maybe it's not such a rash decision for me.

I'm completely confused by this thread about a thread...

A guy goes on a car board asking if anyone knows a dealer in his area that has a rare model sports car in stock for immediate delivery. What am I missing here, other than some hating(?) Who cares?

VaSteve · 06-01-2011, 02:12 PM

Is this the same guy with the fake 73 RS on the 911 forum?

I have a buddy who impulsively walked into Beverly Hills Ferrari last week and bought a new 599. You'd hate him but he's a pretty nice guy. He's going to let me drive it, therefore nice guy.

Is this guy on Rennlist a big braggart or something? I don't make it over to that board much.

OK, so until he lets me drive it, too, I'm gonna put him in the hate category.

I thought the thread was pretty funny, in a sad way!!!!

Here's a guy who asks for some info on where to locate a car for the coming weekend, he buys one quickly and suddenly he's like everyone's hero and it's the most awesome thread ever .....

As far as I could see, all they failed to do was give him a reach around

I thought it was cool he could buy the car he wanted so quickly, but now he's their hero - oh what a material world we live in

It is strange isn't it, that people have such visceral reactions to stuff like this. For some it's instant jealousy and hate, for others it's wishing they were in that situation.

I say bravo to a guy that can buy an GT3-RS on a whim, and I can see how that's considered cool on a GT3 forum. But it doesn't really tell me anything about him as a person.

My idea of an impulse buy is a cheeseburger. My boss's daily drivers are a 458 Italia and a 599 GTO, but only because he doesn't like driving his Keoniggsegg every day. More power to him. There are those that probably hate me for the burger too.

I did not read the whole thread but got the impression that he'd been looking for a certain car for a while and ran out of patience or just got the bug to get it *now*...

For whatever reason, I've never been plagued with jealousy. I have plenty of other character flaws, of course.
