Imagine rifle's response if Trump said this:

This just keeps getting better and better. First, I am almost positive that it was a Nissan Maxima, not an Altima. Yes, I drove my mom's Nissan Maxima to pick you up. I'm not sure how my mother, in her mid 60s and having been retired for a decade, having driven a Nissan Maxima somehow reflects on anything you're trying to say. Yes, my mom stays at my place for about a month once a year and then 2-3 weeks at some other point during the year because she enjoys the beach.
A Maxima, though far from a luxury vehicle, is also far from a cheap vehicle or one that reflects on a low budget. Hell, a Maxima is about the same price as a C class Mercedes.
See, I am calling you an insular hayseed because of your head and your heart. I'm not calling you an insular hayseed because of a low salary, because of a lack of materialistic things, etc. I don't mock people on here for that. I mock them for a lack of intelligence and a lack of ethics. It's the same reason I have called you out for years for being selfish and only caring about yourself. It's the same reason I mock you for your ignorance. Those are things that make you an insular hayseed.
At the time you were in Florida, I had an old Jaguar (about seven years old) and a new Mercedes (if you were there three years ago, it was about a year old). The Mercedes was a coupe, which I ended up hating. I was told that I would be picking up, from what I recall, about 4-5 other people. I had one underground parking spot and one surface spot. The older car (Jaguar) was always parked on the surface lot because I didn't care if that got pounded by the salty air. It, however, had a backseat which would have needed to be cleaned. Instead of taking ten minutes go take the elevator down to my garage spot and driving it all the way up the garage (and then another ten minutes to do it when I got home), I simply took the easier car (my mother's) since it had to be moved anyways from the street parking which isn't allowed overnight.
The fact that you would think "Oh my god, he is picking me up in a Maxima" speaks volumes about your character. Hell, I couldn't imagine meeting up with a friend and thinking to myself about something about their house, clothes, car, etc. Mocking my mom's car would be like me mocking something about your wife. If I gave a fvck or felt the need to impress somebody, I would have taken either of the other cars. Hell, you wanted to take an Uber and meet me at the restaurant since it was 40 minutes more driving for me than the two hours roundtrip I was already driving. If I had something to prove or hide, why would I have driven an additional 40 minutes roundtrip out of my way to pick you up in a Maxima? Don't you think that if I was trying to hide something, I would have just accepted you guys meeting me at the restaurant instead of me driving an additional 40 minutes?
Are you somehow trying to claim I lie about my vehicles? Hell, the last time I was in Huntington, I believe we went to dinner. Didn't I have a Mercedes (a different one) at that time? The last time I was in West Virginia (other than driving through), I met BC for a basketball game and lunch. I believe I was driving the Jaguar. Hell, I can go outside and take pictures of my X5 and my Maserati and post them with a hat/t-shirt identifying me in 5 minutes. I can post pictures of my purchase bills from both, both within the last 14 months, within one minute.
I'm trying to figure out your point other than you looking like more of a moron. For the record, what did your mom drive three years ago?
I've never had either nor have I claimed to have either. Thinking that "wagon" is spelled with an "e" instead of an "o" (keys on opposite sides of the keyboard) is another example of why I call you an insular hayseed.
This is as spooky as the fakin' Jamaican. You spend time talking about me with three people who don't post on here/don't know me? Are your meetings to plan other meetings for Coffee & Cars so boring that you discuss me on a message board with people who don't know me? Make sure to tell them that I am embarrassed for them, too, as I am for you.
Now, your excuse for your statement is just to get a reaction from me? Bullshit. You've repeatedly shown your true colors. Now, after numerous failed attempts to argue your way out of it, you're trying to claim that you were just joking and trying to get a reaction. Riiiiight!
Why do you continue to hide your West Virginia roots?
Bless your heart. G Wagen is short for Gelandewagen. It's the proper shorthand for the vehicle, not G Wagon. Hillbilly.
Why would someone of your stature keep their vehicles outside? You don't have a garage to store your luxury vehicles? You try so hard to be big time.
Oh? Then, what is your excuse for your misspelling of virtue-signaling? You used two "Ls," which you're getting used to on this board. The double-L spelling is British, not English. We use the single L.
Since you've lived nowhere other than hillbilly areas, you wouldn't know this, but in bigger population areas, parking spaces are very limited. My building allows one garage parking spot for each unit. If you own a one bedroom unit, you are only given that spot. If you have a two or three bedroom unit, you are allowed the ability to buy an additional surface spot. You can't buy/sell spots individually unless you sell the actual condo. So, I am only allowed one garage and one surface. I don't consider a seven year old Jaguar a "luxury vehicle."
Visitor parking is limited. They fill up quickly, especially on weekends and during vacation months, which means people have to use the street parking. The street parking isn't allowed overnight, as the town is pretty good at towing vehicles that stay there.
This is the best part. The only reason you claim that I "try so hard to be big time" is because I boast on here AFTER somebody calls me out. I am the one who wears sweatpants and/or a 30 year old t-shirt (literally, 30 years old) to meet with people who others would refer to it as the biggest day of their life. I am the one who very rarely buys clothes with labels/logos on them, unlike your affinity for alligators on your shirts, because I purposely go out of my way for people to not think I am big time.
I almost never post pictures of my vacations/trips. I don't post any pictures of my vehicles on Facebook (perhaps more than a decade ago with my Jaguar and Land Rover, but again, over a decade ago). On the other hand, . . .
But I am still waiting to hear what your mother drove three years ago, what four international vacations you have taken in the last twelve months, why you lied about me claiming to have $3000 t-shirts, etc.
As long as you thump on your bible and ask Jesus for forgiveness … it's ok
As a Christian, yes I recognize people can turn their life over to God and change. As a human being I believe people can simply open their hearts to love instead of hate amd change. As an intellectual, I believe you had no intention of proving my point about a long history, but hey thanks anyway.
That's true. All of the apartment buildings I own, I allow two spaces per unit. Tell me again how Daytona Beach, FL is anything but a hick ocean town. I also don't consider a 7 year old Jaguar a luxury vehicle. If your reading comprehension was better, you would have realized I was speaking of your current cars, your X5 and your Maserati.
I'm not sure why you think I have shirts with alligators on them. I don't own a single Lacoste shirt. I wear leisure clothes every day.
I also never post pictures of my vacations or trips. I don't post pics of my vehicles (other than to sell them). In the last 12 months I've been to Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Japan, Thailand, Austria, Germany and France. I also don't brag about my accomplishments (just got into my 3rd consecutive Boston Marathon; this year was the most competitive ever).
My mom drove a 4-runner 3 years ago. But that's not the point at all, I don't care what your mom drives, and I surely wasn't judging her by it. But you're supposed to be a baller. Why would you drive her car when you have so many in your stable? I don't care enough to dig up the old thread, but you claimed to wear multi-thousand dollar shirts in the same thread where you told us about your $7000 in diamonds.
@murox I don't think anybody in the history of message boards has ever pissed me off as much as you have done today.
How dare you insult Harambe by insinuating he looks like Michelle Obama!
How dare you insult Harambe by insinuating he looks like Michelle Obama!
And you continue to fail miserably. First, Daytona Beach is the complete opposite of a hick ocean town. If anything, Daytona Beach is a ghetto beach town. The black population is about 40%, and unless they are in Alabama or Mississippi, the black population leans far more ghetto than hick. Further, Daytona Beach has an extremely high crime rate compared to similar sized cities across the nation. Yes, Daytona has two huge bike weeks and one huge jeep week that cumulatively draw in more than 200,000 visitors, but all of those are out-of-towners, not residents.
Second, the overwhelming population of Daytona Beach lives on the mainland side. Multiple bridges connect the mainland from the beach side of Daytona Beach. Upper middle class tends to live on the far end of the mainland side where the golf course communities are (area that is the biggest distance away from the beach). The downtown part of Daytona Beach is where it is more ghetto, closest to the beach side, and also the biggest region in terms of land. The beach side of Daytona Beach is far less ghetto, though like just about any beach area, gets its transients.
Third, and your biggest error, is thinking I own in Daytona Beach. I've never owned there. There are three beach towns just outside of Daytona Beach (Ormond Beach, The Shores, New Smyrna Beach). All three of them are upper-middle class communities. Those three towns have per capita incomes ranging from 250%-300% higher than the per capita income of Daytona Beach even though they are just a few miles apart. Those three towns also have their own police force which are as strict as I have ever seen. DWB (Driving While Blacks) is more of a crime there than I have ever seen. When I first bought there, I was told by a building management employee that the town's police will literally escort those they don't think belong back over the town line. In the years since, I have seen how strict they are with monitoring anyone walking down the street or driving who they don't think fits in. And, yes, it's mostly about racial profiling. I only own one condo in Florida now, and it is one of those three neighboring towns, only a few miles from Daytona Beach, but a world away. I am going to buy both a condo along the Emerald Coast and a piece of undeveloped beach property on an "island" there but am waiting until we get final answers on a handful of questions/litigation. Property is shockingly cheap there and gives a great return on renting it.
As I have mentioned before, one of my neighbors is a divorcee who was given the beach property in the settlement. She is a former stripper whose ex-husband owned a dozen auto dealerships throughout the southeast. She originally told me that they met when she was a waitress at Hooters, but one night while she was drunk on the pool level, she told me she was actually a stripper when she met her ex-husband. They had a beach mansion in Jacksonville (where her son went to Bolles), another house in Tampa, and this beach property which they have owned for decades. She is unemployed, uneducated, and lives off of the settlement money.
Another neighbor lives most of the year in West Virginia. Fairly late in life, he started a natural gas company which has led them to a high amount of wealth. They have a beautiful house in West Virginia, a "camp" (their word for it) where he prefers to spend most of his time on a lake in Florida that allows him to fish, and their condo. Their lone daughter is a professor at a college in Virginia, her husband is in politics, and the niece goes to college in West Virginia (is bright, and has spent the last two summers in some sort of research internships at Marshall).
Another neighbor is a high school principal whose wife works in some capacity at a bank. Another neighbor is a single woman who I don't know much about other than she was arrested for DUI. Another neighbor is an older rabbi who uses it as a second house along with his wife. Another neighbor is a pilot for a major airline. Another neighbor is a young college philosophy professor who is a huge burnout, very bright, and pulls amazing ass considering his appearance.
Another neighbor was in her 90s and died 2-3 years ago. I've wanted to buy her condo as it is a one-bedroom with direct beach views and her family never uses it, but they haven't put it on the market.
Another neighbor - in one of the penthouse units, owns the Books-A-Million company.
So you struck-out in just about every way with your attempts.
Who said I have "so many" in my stable? The most cars I have ever owned at one-time were three, one of which was then 9-10 years old. Having a $70,000 car, a $50,000 car, and a $5000 car isn't a "baller," especially for somebody who has no children to worry about. Three years ago, I had two cars - one was an older Jaguar, one was a newer but cheaper Mercedes. That hardly makes me a "baller." You're the one who puts that label on me; I don't.
After I went to look at more Florida properties a few months ago, I was about to have twice as many properties as cars. That would have made me a baller.
Why did I drive her car? I think we went over this. One, the Jaguar needed the backseat cleaned out since originally I was told 4 people would be picked up. Second, it was a two-door, so 4 other people would have been an uncomfortable fit. Third, it was ten minutes to get my garaged car out and another ten to put it back in (considering door to door). Fourth, my mom's car had to be moved when I got home anyways, which was quicker to access. Fifth, I really didn't think a $45,000 car was going to get you that much more excited than a $33,000 car.
It wasn't my reading comprehension, it was your writing. I don't live in Florida. Clearly, somebody who spends their free time discussing me with three people whom I don't know is aware of that. Where I live - where both of my cars are kept - has two garages. Though I do get impatient entering/leaving a garage, so I tend to park the X5 in the driveway at least half of the nights. Again, your point is flawed.
Oh, they must be crocodiles instead of alligators:
In defense of Rox, all squares are rectangles, but not rectangles are squares. Saying a specific square looks like a rectangle is not the same as saying they all do. I mean it's not like all Asians with their creepy, squinty eyes not being able to drive.
Holy christ, you went back nearly 10 years ago on facebook to find that picture. Let me clarify my statement: I haven't worn Lacoste since it was fashionable 10 years ago. Additionally, I don't care what kind of car you drive or were driving. I found it unusual that a 35 year old was driving his mom's car. Especially one who goes out of his way to tell everyone how successful he is.
How is that unusual? Just because you've always lived in podunk areas where you walk out and get in your car doesn't mean people don't drive a different car if it's far more accessible. If your car is in the shop, do you drive your wife's? If your wife's car is too small for something, does she drive yours?
I hadn't lived in NY in over 17 years, yet I was driving a car with NY plates on it. Clearly, it was my mom's car. Why else would I be driving it? Because I don't have a car? Because I was embarrassed about a 1 year old Mercedes or a 7 year old Jaguar? Your attempt, whatever it is, is as miserably bad as your other recent ones.
Oh, you didn’t know? Only people in podunk areas have houses with a garage. rifle was living in the cosmopolitan area of greater Daytona Beach, FL. No one there has a garage! At least not one that is easily accessible. Due to the high population density, Daytona Beach has high-rise automated garages. It was just too much of an inconvenience.
In a discussion yesterday, I explained how in areas that have more humans than cows (the actual farm animals, not Huntington's leading obese per capita title), it is common for parking spots to be at a premium. In high-rises, like where my condo in Florida is, it takes about ten minutes for me to leave my door, wait for an elevator, take the elevator down to the garage, walk to my spot, then drive up the ramps to the parking area. That means twenty minutes roundtrip as opposed to about three to four minutes each way if I drive a car in the guest parking, street parking, or surface lots. Likewise, in DC it took about the same time even though my building was many stories smaller.
In areas with low populations, high rises are far less prevalent, parking can be done in surface lots as opposed to numerous stories underground, and the majority of people live in houses as opposed to condos, so they can simply walk out directly to their car.
There are very few beachfront houses in those areas. Daytona is almost exclusively hotels and/or condos on the water. Ormond Beach has virtually no hotels/large condos on the water, has a couple of dozen houses on the water, but is almost entirely empty beach front due to a road running along the beach. The Shores is a mix of condos and hotels on the water. At the entrance of that town, there are about a dozen beachfront houses, all which are multi-million dollars and rarely on the market. New Smyrna Beach is a mix of everything.
So, no, if you want to live on the beach, there are very limited options to have your own garage. I realize that a $350,000 house in Huntington tends to be a really pretty house, but that isn't the reality for beachside properties. A $350,000 property in any of those cities will get you a nice 3 bedroom/3 bathroom condo, but you'll have to park in an underground garage.
But maybe I am confused. We are talking about the Huntington in West Virginia, right? Besides the other defining shithole characteristics we've mentioned, it's the one that had the third highest murder rate in the entire fvcking country last year, right? It was a couple of spots worse than that haven of civility known as New Orleans, right? It's the Huntington in West Virginia where the governor had to call in the National Guard to deploy guardsmen to help the extraordinarily high murder rate, right? The one where the per capita income is about 250% lower than where my condo is even though the cost of living is similar, right?
What's the point of that story? I think part of your narcissism is you just like to hear yourself talk. No one would ask their visiting mom (why would she drive from New York to Florida when she could have flown and used one of your cars?) to borrow her car to drive to Orlando to save 10 minutes (very generous) retrieving your own car. It's just bizarre. But then again, you're just a strange guy, so who knows?
Considering this is typing, that makes about as much sense as your other failed attempts.
I doubt I even asked her. If I remember correctly, it was a very late dinner. She wasn't going to be going anywhere by herself between 9 pm - midnight.
Numerous reasons. When she visits me when I am in Florida, she usually stops at my brother's in Virginia for a few days before and a few days after. Flying wouldn't allow for that. She can then drive 6 hours to him, stay for a few days, and then drive 10 hours to me. She can then drive 10 hours to him, stay for a few days, and then another 6 hours home.
She prefers to have her own car wherever she is. It gives her the freedom of being able to come/go as she pleases. She doesn't want to drive a rental, somebody else's car, etc. She visited me a few months ago (not in Florida) and wouldn't drive either of my cars.
She despises flying. She absolutely hates it. She hates it so much that she can't even fall asleep on a long flight or red-eye. She flew for her honeymoon and flew as a high school student once. From my birth until I was 12, we took a Spring Break vacation to Disney every April. We flew one time, and she hated it, so we drove every year other than that. She flew when I took her to LA in 2009/2010. And she flew a few months ago to visit me when I insisted that driving was too far. Even after she had a flight ticket, she still was seriously contemplating driving to the point that I would have to scold her every day about it. I wanted to take my family to Ireland as a Christmas gift a couple of years ago to visit the land our ancestors had, but my mom won't do it because of the flight. I believe she has only flown five times in her life and despises traveling.
Banker math again. Simply taking her car instead of mine saved about 15 minutes. Then, on top of that, I would have had to hope a guest spot had opened up to park my car in the guest parking (since my surface spot was taken by the Jag), get her car from the street, hope yet another guest spot had opened up (if not, drive it to the grocery store parking lot), then get back into my car in the guest spot and drive it to the third level in the garage, walk to the elevators, and take a longer ride.
Driving her car saved me the 15 minutes of the elevator/garage parking but also allowed me the hassle of having to find two open guest spots, go back-and-forth between the cars, etc. Simply the garage/elevator stuff saved about 15 minutes. If I had to do the other stuff, it would have been an additional 5-10 minutes IF two guest spots were even available.
I'm not understand how that is bizarre. If my brother and I are both home to visit our mother, one of us parks in the driveway which blocks one of the cars in the garage. If one of us leaves at night, we tend to take whichever vehicle is sitting in the driveway instead of having to move the car in the driveway, pull the car out of the garage, pull back into the driveway, and then do the same thing again when the person arrives back home. That whole incident, both sides, would probably take about 5 minutes. But it's a pain in the ass, so we just take whatever car is easier to access.
Again, I am not getting your point on this: Do you think I didn't/don't have a car(s)? Do you think that Nissan was mine (even though it had state plates from somewhere I hadn't lived in about 18 years)? Do you think I didn't have the cars I said I did/do, even though I believe you had already seen one of them years earlier?
Again, what's your point of questioning it? It isn't bizarre- it was far easier to just take one car that I was going to have to move later that night anyways than it was to spend 20-25 minutes extra for another car.
