I'm actually enjoying this trainwreck of a thread. Execmalibu, I have no way to doubt or support your claims. I'm not challenging you on them either. So this is in no way meant to come across as an attack.

Just a few points.

I don't think dd74 was a "poser". He never had any intentions on purchasing the car from what I could tell. Initially, I think he was simply willing to volunteer to go for the ride to enable you to validate your claim for those doubters on the forum. You most certainly can decline the offer but I think at first he was trying to help resolve things.

With all the emotion that has spewed forth over the past couple of days I'd think you would want to put the doubters to rest once and for all. Not only to validate your claim but also and more importantly to get some serious interest in the car. That is after all your goal behind all of this correct?

Personally, I don't see how it would hurt. A few $100's can't mean more than your honor and your word. You've already wasted more time/money in responding on this thread than that. Heck, even some pictures of your cars or your trophies etc. would help in this regard.

I think people would be very interested to hear what you have to say about your experiences once they "knew" you were legit. Unfortunately, in today's world people need to see some proof. It's really nothing personal.

Your approach and style also make room for an element of doubt. You are right that you don't have to prove anything to anybody but if your car can do what you claim all would seem to agree that it's one special car that we would all love to hear more about.

Have a good one...
