I wondered that too... I was thinking HUD, Heads Up Display, like in the Corvettes...
I assumed it was High Intensity Discharge bulbs, those blueish/white headlights that are popular on newer (usually high end) cars.

No, he pwned you. The idea of this figure of speech, often "Oceanfront property in Arizona" is to indicate that you're a sucker to buy such a thing, because it doesn't exist. Damn, you kinda pwned yourself on that one.

Gullible much?

How would you know?

Uh, because the other screen name is his friend. And when I talked to the real aimster, he proptly posted here. So you do the math.

I think someone really did use his screen name other than him as all the stories reflect his brother's experiences. It's not that big of a strech.

Anyway, good job ATOT for finding the lie(s) but perhaps the person who posted last isn't the same as the first post. It's not really a ban-able offence imo, but I'm no mod so whatever.

This is why accounts have these magical little things called 'passwords.' These 'passwords' are used to keep other people from posting something as you. If you are stupid enough (and we know aimster is, wether or not it *was* someone else*) to give your password to others, then yes, you should be banned. If Anandtech wanted there to be accounts used by groups or the public at large, they would just allow anonymous posting.

The BS is strong with this one. If you actually believe that, then I have some prime beachfront property in Kansas.

Like Kansas' beachfront property could ever compare to San Diego. I wouldn't even take it for free.

If aimster's name is shared, then this story isn't so much of a strech. He does have a lot of siblings which makes sense to me.

PLEASE tell me you aren't that dense?

How am I dumb? I was being sarcastic and you guys thought I was serious?

If it's about believing aimster, then that's totally up in the air. Only he and whoever else used the computer (if someone else did) know the truth so my opinion is just as valid as your's. Besides, I'm the only one on this forum who actually talked to him.

I don't know about you, but I just keep myself logged in so really anyone who uses my computer could post here.

No crap. I blatently stole it from here. Do you think if I was so dumb to not know where Kansas is, that I would bring it up again? If I couldn't figure out where Kansas was, I'd never bring it up again. Especially 5 MINUTES after I was "tricked". Good lord, the average person may be dumb but I'm certainly not that stupid.

Sorry I didn't put the copywrite in there. I think it goes without saying that someone on ATOT would have seen both threads and figured it out. And not quoting you does not make me a moron.

This thread is very ammusing. Like I said why would I care about my reputation on Ananadtech if I only post 1x a day? If you wish to ban me go right ahead. I am not making any excuses nor am I apologizing for anything more. Do I even know anyone on here? The answer is a simple, No.
If you think everything was made up then you are free to believe what you want. I don't see what is hard to believe about the things I said.

As far as delivering pizzas, I attend college and I do not work. The person who delivers pizza is my brother. The person who posted this is my other brother. I have a big family and having these cars is not a big deal IMO. Like asians, my reputation depends on going to school to be accepted by my culture. If you do not have an education you are not well respected in your local community (I have noticed this to be true with asians that I know. I am not generalizing, but talking only from experience).

Have a password on my account? I automatically saved it. What's the big deal? Look up and read the first couple of sentences and you will see that I do not care about a "reputation". I personally find it a waste of time to chat with anyone online for more than an hour and that just shows a lack of social skills, but that's my opinion and saying that here is a sentence for "flamming". I am busy with school and I hardly have enough time on my hands as it is and when I do have time I stop by the politics section and post a sentence or two.

Like I said, a Maxima is a poor man's car. No offense to the Nissan fanboys in here but a Maxima is not an expensive car. $6,000 used fully loaded if you look hard enough. Not really something to brag/lie about, unless you just got your license and this is your first car *having any car right after getting your license is going to look like a million dollars*.

Delevering pizzas, I am sure "I" someone would lie about that. Why? It's incredibly hard to get a job delivering pizzas. As for the things said in that thread, that has nothing to do with this thread.

Riiiight. Well, you've got us totally fooled!

I thought you said you posted only once a week, if that? First you don't know who posted the OP, then its your brother, blah blah. You are this super busy med student who's too busy to work, or to 'waste time' posting online, yet you can't spell, waste time posting on line, and seem to really give a sh!t what ATOT thinks of you... You put someone else's

IM name on your profile....

Oh, and your family own all these cars, but you can't provide pics.

Uh huh. Its obviously a completely coherent story, and we are all just judgemental jackasses. You aren't an immature attention whore at all.

my profile says my name is Rodney. Last name Dehghi.
Rodney = American name
Dehghi = Indian last name
I am Persian. Unless I have an American/Indian parents then I guess that would make my profile more accurate.

My family owns all these cars? Maybe because my parents worked hard to get where they are and they spoil their children. Is that right? No. Last time I checked you need a car to go from point A to point B.
Provide pics for what? I do not really care, I find this thread ammusing and I am not here to fix anything. If anyone knows anything about the Persian culture it is that parents like to show off their kids.

So you are saying you need to have perfect english to pass medical school? I can name you tons of people who came here speaking little english and passed their school and became doctors. It's all about what you want to be out of life and working hard for it.

Thanks for the info, but WTHell has this got to do with anything? All I asked was why you put what is apparently someone else's IM name in your profile.

But please, keep going... :D Most entertaining thread of the week

I mean BSing about not caring about your reputation as much as Asians with academics yet whining here, saying he's not going to waste his time posting here while posting here, saying a 20K car fully loaded with 15K mods is really a 6K car for poor pizza boys, saying that medical schools don't need engrish, wheels that mount on other places other than wheels, saying that a medical student finds a pizza delivery job is actually very tough to get, saying his family of 20 siblings uses his computer and he doesn't care about it. I mean this is the real oprah stuff, reality show at it's best! How can you NOT believe?

All I can say is HAHAHA and HAH and jeez what a moron. I do have to admit he's trying hard to save face now that he's been caught. Nice touch trying to get MAME to cover for you as well. Just stop now while you're still behind cause you're just digging your hole deeper and deeper.
