Two more excellent reasons to hate Treynor - Page 20 - SVTPerformance

http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/pics-videos-buffet-149/842129-two-more-excellent-reasons-hate-treynor-20.html



Benjamin Sloss Treynor is the Vice President of Engineering at Google. He's smart. He's rich. And he loves cars.

He's also very active on car forums, where he has garnered equal amounts of reverence for and doubt of his wealth. So when a forum member asked him to prove he owns a Raptor, a 458 Italia, and a McLaren 12C Spyder by taking pictures of them with pieces of bread, Treynor was more than happy to oblige.

We were told the Treynor has been called into question in the past, and has responded by posting a picture of his kid holding a sign that has the name of the SVT Performance forum where he posts under the username Treynor. Ford_racer's call for proof by putting bread in the photos was more of a joke than serious.

It must be fun to be rich.

Messing with a Google executive must be dangerious. He could figure everything out about anybody. What does Google NOT know?

The "search engine that shall not be named" is pure evil.
There is no limit to what those bastages can do. EVIL I SAY!

the page/link is dead now - too much traffic I guess.

Story is over on Jalopnik though:

Thats classic.
Below was in one of the taglines for one of the posters. Funny guys.


How to start an arguement on the internet:

Step 1 : Express an opinion
Step 2: Wait
