God help us all if AOC isn't put in her place. This is just a twenty something with twenty something thinking. I employed many just like her for decades from the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens. Unless you want to support them while they work the social programs with aplomb and expertise, you'd be wise to steer clear. She brings nothing to the table except the desire to instruct how to take more.

Yes, I'm biased. Been there.

I personally think she's a one term wonder. I agree with everything you say. Hell, she doesn't even have an office in her district. She's blaming her landlord. She needs to bring in this guy:

Now we know why FaapTabulousFred is always so cheerful!!! :eek:

You guys sound just like Roseanne re: AOC.

But back to the topic: I was remotely involved in a deal on a very rare pair of cars in a collection in Europe and had my eyes opened as I learned one of the world's foremost restorers recently developed a reputation for "forging" chassis and dressing them up with correct parts. And one of the cars that was for sale for several million had a clone that the collector intended to keep to "save face" after selling off the crown jewel in his collection. I got quite an education in that deal and chose to be involved only if the buyer fully understood the necessity of including the clone in the purchase... Not sure if that deal will ever happen. But in this case, the bad news came out before money exchanged hands.

As these cars became multi million dollar 'investments' the forgers came out of the woodwork.

DWELLE, I'M SURE NICK SHOWED YOU HIS BEST SIDE UNFORTUNATELY HE HAS TWO SIDES. MY PHONE BLEW UP AFTER THIS CAME TO LIGHT. I WISH I COULD SHARE A FEW OF THE STORIES THAT I KNOW WITH YOU ALL BUT BE PATIENT THERE'S GONNA BE MORE THAN ENOUGH TO GO AROUND, CHECK OUT JALOPNIK JERRY SEINFELD,TODAY! OR LOOK INTO FLATSIXES.COM PORSCHES VERSUS TRAIN in Ventura .ca, the cars all belonged to European collectables just read the comments, the insurance company thought it to be fishy, or the phoney speedster that Euro collectables sold at barrett jackson. Looking forward to attending the open house at e.c. wonder if ole nicks got the balls to show up? What a tangled web we weave when we practice to decieve.

GREAT book!

Just how many speedsters did the factory make ?!!

This is getting better by the day. Rumor has it this fraud is going to be tracked back to Ferry Porsche when he put a fancy badge on his fathers modified VW.

Ha ha! I luvs me some Marketplace forum! :D

It’s funny how “she” has to be put in her place. Even funnier that you complain about her “types” yet you went ahead and employed them. What was it affirmative action?:rolleyes: If we can accept the dumbass that we have running this Country we can put up with a young ideologist who still has some growing to do.

Now back to the scheduled program.... Hopefully if there is some forgery connected to the suit, the forger will be held accountable.

He had to employ her type. Unfortunately when self employed you don’t have a choice. You simply need to hire a body, so you take what you can get. It’s the sad reality that’s taking place right now. But it’s brought on by a tight labor market.

I was drooling over those crashed Porsche’s about two hours prior to the train hitting them.

Jeez.... This is marketplace there are other forums to display ignorance and intolerance........

This is hardly a new accusation for EC.......

What was the story on these cars?

Try hiring a server in metro NYC and see who shows up. I don't want to continue down this PARF path however so I'll move on.

Meanwhile Gooding I'm sure goes unscathed in all of this:

There used to be a car show in Ventura County, Cali. These cars were all on display there with EC. My wife and I had been eyeing the black one. All were beautiful cars. We left the show which was down the road from our hotel. As we were leaving our hotel we saw all these blinking lights down the road with emergency vehicles. She asked if we should go down and check it out. I feared somebody really hurt, and wasn't interested in finding out. Later that evening on the local news they showed all these cars were damaged when leaving the show on a car carrier. It was going across a raised railroad crossing and bottomed out. While it was stuck there, efforts were made to contact the authorities to stop the train that was due to cross this location. Needless to say, they failed in getting it to stop. I'm still glad we didn't walk down to check things out. As this site was equally sad!

The problem is like mentioned above about the amazing metal craftsman that is making an all steel speedster for “himself”. 4 owners later it’s been tagged with a vin and being sold as a genuine speedster. 5th owner decided he doesn’t want a $400,000 liability sitting in his garage so he sells it. Who is the perpetrator of the crime? Not the metal craftsman. Not the 2nd,3rd or 5th owner. I’m sure it happens more often than we would like

Are you allowed anywhere else? http://forums.pelicanparts.com/suppo...eys/spankA.gif :D

Makes one wonder if the current buyer found out who the current owner of the original one is..if that’s the case someone will be on the hook for a boatload of cash.

When I collected watches a friend tried to convince me on buying vintage Rolexes, since I didn’t have enough knowledge of that market...I chose to pass. Too many scammers out there.

Eventually, people will say that buying a car at auction was the stupidest idea ever. Fun to watch, bad place to buy.

For the current owner some may say that but Seinfeld purchased it from a dealer, so no one is immune regardless of where they purchased it from.

Yeah you're biased because you're old.

If you were young you'd realize a lot of **** AOC talks about are legitimate struggles of younger people

Fact: Home ownership among millenials and younger is becoming a pipe dream for many, as housing costs are skyrocketing

Fact: Boomers had cheap housing compared to their wages

Fact: Boomers enjoyed cheap education and 'they could work part time' to pay for their tuition

Fact: Most millenials have massive amounts of student debt and that amount is increasing every year. Americans owe over $1.56 trillion in student loan debt, spread out among about 45 million borrowers. That’s about $521 billion more than the total U.S. credit card debt.

Fact: Wages have not kept up with cost of living increases in housing/healthcare/education for over 30 years no matter which clown was in office

Fact: Student debt is not only preventing millenials from home ownership, it's preventing marriage and families. If this trend continues white people will be minorities in america; in many states in elementary schools they already are.

Fact: The 1% increased their wealth by 400% since 2009

Fact: Boomers and Gen X were much wealthier than millenials when they were all the same age due to lack of student debt

But go ahead and keep putting your head in the sand and ignoring the struggles that young people are facing today. If young people keep getting ****ed while the select few boomers hoard all the money, things will balance out eventually:

Only with adult supervision, ya' bisch!!! :D

This pretty much says it all - the current BSer in Chief makes most other "leaders" seem honest, intelligent, and rational in comparison. Butt we Americans have ourselves to blame, of course, since we always choose dumbasses, liars, lunatics, narcissists, and immoral scumbags to lead us - we must like it like dat!!!

Just when I found a section of Pelican that wasn't all f'd up with political crap and had some interesting posts to dive into............

If there’s one thing I learned from the Obama Presidency, it’s that America is resilient, and can survive anything!!! As to all your facts, I hired many many young people who took class after class just to delay the payback beginning of their loans. Maybe if some of these people full of sympathy for our youth had to hire them like I did, they would lose their sympathy. AOC wants to take away your gas guzzling Porsche, so be careful who you chose to follow and defend. Off to the classifieds.

I’m Gen-X, the forgotten generation..lol...

I have a lot of moronic insults and points to respond to, but I will pass. It's Marketplace Forum after all and we need to stay focused on the cars.

PARF'ed!

another constructive (?) thread ruined, ha!...

Parfignugen.

I wonder what is the giveaway that it's a fraud?

Probably the "Made in Brazil" sticker on the new steel floorpan: :D

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1551308560.jpg

Yeah, I’m quite interested in the evidence in the case.

That’s what I was alluding too. Does someone have the original one in their possession?

Most likely

NastyNick, you might be old, butt yer still sexy!!!

I’m not old and I’m no conservative but AOC is off her nut. I get the complaints of the youth. I agree with a lot of them. But dammit, she is going to kill the green new deal with her zealot behavior. We aren’t going to guarantee an income to anyone. She’s lunatic fringe.

Yes she is young with some far out ideas...but that is what they are ideas and opinions that with time will change. Too much emphasis and time has been allotted to her thoughts. Yet she doesn’t have any real power. People need to focus on those who can make a real significant change in current policies. I don’t agree with everything she has to say but I understand the frustration.
