I'm across the country and don't feel like it sourcing parts from idiots and having them painted

Actually might be selling the car as is now. What a time to be alive

I'm a huge fan of kids with disposal income that buys anything on Croooober/YAJ/etc. and when it comes in, posts a thread asking if it's worth anything either here or on that Backshelf shit.

I greatly enjoy trolling on Backshelf. I forget who told me about it but you're a God.

My favorite is the apparel. $300 for a shirt that belongs in a goodwill bin

Kids too caught up in the Hypebeast lifestyle. Buying stuff before they know the value/resell of it.

You're welcome.

I just got banned. Decided to vent here:

Stefan Nismo locks his thread after I point out that his 'New Old Stock' 180SX Towel (for $110) was a $25 towel from Fuji Speedway. Admins leave the post up. When the thread is locked I tried to take it further in my own post and it was deleted even though dudes seemed to agree Stefan Nismo is a cancer. Weeks later, our back-and-forth is still netting me likes on multiple comments.

I started to stir the pot tonight about self-proclaimed hustlers...basically saying they're the equivalent of the dudes that got straight C's in high school but are certain COVID is fake and it's 5G making people sick. Some people caught on, but the point was made in the first few minutes: people with the same IQ as the straight C's crowd just lashed out immediately. Talking about business this and economics that. Most of it just talking shit. A couple guys started posting neutral shit asking for further clarification, and I responded. The more we carried on, the more we found common ground and had a civil discussion even if we didn't agree. Christmas miracles in May.

...then I made fun of some dumbshit that has one orange B Package S15 seat and one blue one and I think he ratted my post out to the admins that promptly blocked me. This dude is riding Stefan's penis so hard they must both need tubs of lotion for all the chaffing.

I guess to sum it up: dumb people are taking over the world. and stating an opposing view doesn't welcome healthy (albeit heated) debate anymore. It's just easier to ban you lol. I don't believe you can say 'mind your own business' when it comes to this market that we all buy/sell in. We're cutting our noses off to spite our face. It 100% is your/our business if you have the ability to remove a seller from a page or forum.

Never forget that Zilvia is still the only place where you can openly disagree with one another and not get banned for it.

Hello. I am grumpy.

[dizzariot]

Doublepost. Sorry.

[deolio]

solid rant 11/10

[Antihero983]

Good to see this place hasn't changed much in the years I've been gone...I missed it!

[Antihero983]

Oh man. I missed this place.

[Standard]

Solid rant indeed +1

I won a 700$ firearm for 20$ that way, it was awesome. I wonder if a lot of these raffles come up short sometimes though, especially the ones from apparel companies that give like 20-30k on top of the car.

[SupaDoopa]

If an apparel company is doing a GTR giveaway with obviously a FUCK ton of work, how many fucking T-shirts do you need to sell before you're in the green to make that work/effort worth it? I sell some merchandise on the side and even with the small profit margins I make by doing everything in house myself, I still don't yield that type of shit. I got heavily intoxicated one night and did the math on how many shirts they'd need to make in order to sell something like that WITH the cash on top and the amount was fucking stupid. It was nearly impossible - especially with how fast the drawings are between announcement to drawing.

They're essentially taking your money, giving the car to one of their boys somewhere that I'm sure buys it for half of what they need and that's that. They pocket the rest. No other scenario makes sense. Like, how the fuck is TJ Cunt making any money? He's a fucking f-word [I got banned for this before so I'm going to leave that sexually oriented word out of this in full type].

Also, fuck you [240SX] or whatever your shit username is.

bigger youtubers make bank off of video views, merch, sponsors/ads/affiliate links. easily 20k a month from youtube alone for tj

[SupaDoopa]

He’s still a three letter or six letter f-word depending on your preference.

[Antihero983]

Donut media is still the worst thing to happen to Youtube and the car scene in recent years. Change my mind.

[SupaDoopa]

I didn't even know they were still relevant. They did that series about specific chassis and why they're cool and then they did some other weird shit. The 'how it works' segment was pretty informative to learn engineering in a different way. I haven't watched their shit in probably a year - at least.

[Antihero983]

They keep popping up on snap chat, and in my youtube suggestions. That "up to speed" series was terrible, with so many mistakes. I wouldn't trust them to explain how shit works.
