[OH240SE]

Ghost,

Is this a Drifting Enthusiast site or is it a Car Sales Forum??

Wuts the point of posting autotrader.com links??

Someone who really has the drive to get a drift-worthy car would take the time to research and check out those sites for themselves anyway. are u really that bored, or trying to help out the brand noobies or are u giving the FFrifters examples of FR cars to get?

Excuse me if i'm stepping on ur toes, but u already have like 1500 posts, are u going for the all time record or what?

Don't tell me you original drifting.com dudes are selling out to get money as well...

All this talk about "grass roots drifting" this and "i've been down since it was underground" that.

Now it seems like ya'll got the greedy bug too...what has this site come to??

Hell we get enough popups trying to sell us cars anway.

LookOut 4 LIFE!

[Ghost of Duluth]

Wow, you know I have never been referred to as a post whore. This is a new one. But let me break it down to you in a way that you might understand.

I did this to help out people who may be new to the sport or to driving. I did this to help them maybe find a car in their area since 30% of total posts are people looking for a car to get. I did all this to try and help people from getting flamed when they ask where they can get a good Drift car. So why attack me? Especially using some weak stuff like selling out, post whoring and just plain silliness. Get real man, maybe you need to grow up some.

See unlike you, or maybe like you, I have no clue now, a beginner may not know to go the Traderonline to find a car. Or since most of the people here can't use the Search button, they may just be to lazy. They may not know what they are looking for. There's alot of things that I and maybe you take for granted as the knowings and the doings of car shopping. Heck man, 60% of the people here don't know what the first mod is that they need to do to their car. So helping them find a car is something that I thought was a good deed. As I have stated before, I could actually care less what my post count is. As you can see, I do not post junk, one word responses or any of that other useless garbage that goes on around here. If I was worried about my post count, I would be well into the 3000's by now. Also if you are so ashamed of being here, roll out man. Nothing stopping you except a delete button and a pair. Also, I never said I was down since underground. You might research a little before you jump on someone. Oh wait, maybe you were a little too lazy to do that, maybe I should make a thread about peoples post backgrounds.

So how about laying off. But to answer the only real question you asked, yes this is a Drifting site and guess what? Drifting uses cars. Yes that might be a new thing to you but you have to have a car to Drift. As you noticed, this is in the Buy/Sell area, an appropriate place for it wouldn't you say? If I remember correctly, that is the exact place on Drifting.com that it is supposed to go.

All of you should be ecstatic you did not buy this car. My friend bought it, and guess what? The frame on the passenger front is tweaked about 3/4", the fender support is farked, it had no tags, junked/rebuilt/salvage/re-rebuilt title, hatch rust, and was missing half the front-end bolts. She (the seller) didn't reveal the frame damage, or the fact it had been junked. She claimed to be selling it for a defunct dealership. She's not giving him his money back and he's taking her to court.

You see the inherent danger of advertising cars whose owners you don't know, GoD?

Sorry about the partial thread-jack, just had to get a point across.

[Ghost of Duluth]

The only inherent danger of this is the buyer not looking at the car. I am merely posting links, it is up to you, the buyer, to look over your potential Drift machine. You of all people should know this Gridrace. You seem like a smart guy, look over something before you buy it. If your friend bought the car, why didn't you go with him to look at it? You could have saved your friend alot of headache by doing that simple thing.

People, these car's are NOT endorsed by me, they are not mine to sell and they aresimply suggestions. If you are going to buy a car and are not sure of what to look for, take someone with you who knows what to look for. This isn't rocket science.

This site is a resource for Drifters. So what we try to do is help them out. We cannot do everything for them, people have to take some responsibility for themselves. Such as checking over something before buying it. That's just plain common sense there. I'm sorry if your friend got ripped but if you don't pay attention or take someone with you who does, that happens. These listings are simply to help people who either don't know where to look, too lazy to look or didn't think to look in certain places. I put in listings from another source than Traderonline and will put more from other sources. Whether they are good or not is up to the potential buyer to find out. I am only doing what I would do myself or you or anyone else looking a car. I would look, find out info then go look at the car and either buy it or not. Just because your friend got ripped does not mean that this thread is bad. He just skipped the most important step. LOOK AT WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. Think about it before you go trying to prove points.

This thread is NO different than someone posting "Hey look at this Drift car I found for sale". Nothing different, I just posted numerous ones in the same thread. Possible Drift cars that I found doing a basic search. What you choose to do with that information is up to you, the buyer.

Easy killer...

you sometimes have this rude omnipotence attitude about you, you've busted my balls a few times on some very stupid things just as you've done to many others on this site. I've watched and read silently. You seem to always help out the beginners but as soon as someone learns a bit and gets somewhat estabilshed in drift and automotive knowledge, u find a way to down them...
Sending mod warning to people to show dominance? I dont mean to get you defensive because ur helping others, I respect you for that, I like to help out when i can also. I am in no way a qualified "drifter", nor do i claim it. The reason i posted about that, is because this site has turned into such a poser-keyboard drifter site its getting really sad. How many hundeads of posts have to come up about the "PERFECT DRIFT CAR"? Honestly, they sell the auto trader everywhere weekly, its pretty easy to pick up that little newspaper magazine. It only costs a buck. Common sense "duh... autotrader... duhhh.. autotrader.net?... nah that didn't work... maybe autotrader.org?? nah that didn't work either, how about autotrader.com?? yeah i'll try that"
If someone doesn't have the drive or the desire to atleast check something out for themself then i highly doubt that they will have the initiave to take on the task of maintaining a sports car, especially a drift car. Normally on here when u ask an honest question on here, looking to others for answers to things that haven't already been discussed, you've already done enough research that you've either figured it out or u have no idea and someone will eventually help out. The problem is u get ignored and have to keep posting on ur own thread so ur honest question doesn't get bombarded out of the line up by dumbass repeat posts.

Basically what i'm saying, is why waste your own time trying to help those who aren't willing help themselves??

Maybe i'm wrong and nitpicking this site....I'm not perfect

[GRiDRaceTech]

That's just the thing, I did go with him. I told him not to buy it, to pass on it for something better, that it seemed fishy... but when he has his heart set on something it's impossible to change his mind. Now I feel horrible that he has to go through this... but to be fair, I didn't even know it had frame damage, the salvage title was supposedly for a theft recovery so I didn't even think about it. It drove nice enough... crap, it's like a bad dream. The owner had it smogged, she had it inspected... neither raised any flags. Both were probably bribed.

If these people can't find autotrader on their own, how can you expect them to check over a car on their own?

Newbies- Please, for the love of God, BE THERE when the car is inspected. Have it inspected by a REPUTABLE mechanic. Have a doubtful friend who knows about cars come with you, ask the hard questions. Don't let your want of a car blind your judgement. My friend is looking at a lot of time getting driven around by his parents and his friends because he can't drive the car he bought. He can't go to work because he's researching a small-claims case against the seller. RUN A CARFAX!! If he had run a CARFAX prior to buying the car, he would've realized it had a junk title at one point. Learn from his mistakes, and mine... argue with, punch, or do whatever it takes to your friend to get your point across. He'll thank you later. (Unless you break his nose.)

[OH240SE]

Instead of posting links of cars, we could instead post a thread on what to look and look out for when buying a new or used car.

That would be more informative to all of us

GRiDRaceTech has the right idea.

[Thai Juku]

I think you are making it WAY too easy for us...Just chill...We can do it ourselves...Thanks for caring anyway...

He has before, and so have many many others.

[Ghost of Duluth]

See, alot of people on here do just that. They do not research and come here to look for the easy answers. That really gets annoying after a while. But, in a sense, you have to help them out because not everyone of them is going to be a lazy person and may just want some info and go forward in the sport. So it's a double edged sword. Who do you help and who do you not help? Well in the end, you either help em all or you don't. It's pretty funny when you try and help people, they don't want it. But soon as you turn around, there are 10 people asking where to get a car from.

As for my attitude and my modding, let me assure you, I send out the least amount of mod warnings and mine are probably the friendliest out there.

So it's pretty clear that this thread is off topic and you guys could care less, so i'm closing it. Thai Juku the point of the thread was to make it easy on new people. I'll refer them to you whenever they need help. That should settle it.
