grey cars are so boring. Sorry. This screams "meh" to me.

now that I've "offended" everyone.
It's the grey that bores me.
Not the car part. Just panels.
You guys are awfully angsty to start lashing out at my Scion. Must be some latent insecurity. Don't worry. It's ok. It's not your fault. Here have a hug. Much better now yes?

Your math fails, along with all you other pimple faces trying to derail my threads.

You really failed to provide much, if any, feedback in your previous thread about whom you had already contacted and what deals you had already seen. The entire premise of a finder's fee thread hinges on your honesty, so if you want credibility then you're better served by giving out lots of details regarding your search rather than short replies and personal insults.

Well it's pretty hard not to insult someone that's getting all butt hurt because they can't bother to read the OP. I had specifically mentioned I was using AutoTempest.com to conduct my own searches.

Again, if you bothered to check that out, you'd see that Cars.com, craigslists, Vehix, ebay, autotrader, etc are all aggregated there.

I really can't be responsible for lack of basic reading skills.

As far as honesty, I provided my autotrader response that preceded my post by one day on the very car someone else recommended after that. I would have definitely paid that finder's fee.

So kindly pound sand, you are simply trying to derail a thread at this point.

Alky no one is derailing the thread, it's just not a topic you want to talk about. Just because you made the OP doesn't mean you control the topic of the thread. :rolleyes:


Whether you like it or not, it does look bad that you flat out ignored someone's recommendation in your $500 finder's fee thread (rather than saying you already are looking at the car, and you usually aren't one to keep your mouth shut about that sort of thing) then turn around and just-so-happen to buy the car that was recommended a few hours after your post.

It's something you should've said as soon as he posted, particularly with a $500 finder's fee flying around.



I'm actually surprised this isn't against forum rules somehow (offering a $500 reward then rescinding the offer - and then the next day buying the same car someone recommended) It's not something a 'good trader' would do.

Congrats on your choice! I am ambivalent about the ZCP cars due to the loss of cruise control and the other steering wheel buttons, plus the brake rotor/pads options are limited, but honestly I've not driven one and I'm sure they're great behind the wheel, particularly on a track. I would love to get a ZCP steering rack for my M3 at some point.

I did explain it...I showed the correspondance I had. If the OP was looking for a direct response to their 'find' they could have PM'd me. For one it wasn't the colors I asked about (Silver Grey is not Titanium Silver) and it also came from the sources I mentioned I was looking at. Do I owe a response to those that recommended 'verts, SMGII cars, etc.

If someone found me either of those cars I was looking at as an alternative, they'd have been paid $250 or $500 depending on color. No one did, so no one got paid. The deal was on Silver Gray or Alphine white, both on black.

It looks bad on me? Again you go in circles and I really feel you just don't understand English or simply are trying to troll. Again, it wasn't a Silver Gray or Alpine White car.

It's clear you are trying to troll and gain support for some kind of action against me. I'd look into hobbies or something to bring your life some joy rather than all the misery you profess on this.

In today's market there are adequate rotor and pad choices...a few years ago it was slimmer picking.

My 8 year old Maxima would rule a Scion. :D

Be wary of the ones with TRD exhaust yo.

The other day I was in the Camry getting gas and some kid on the opposite side with a dropped pristine new tC was side eyeing me and smirking... biyatch puhleaze.
