Default War on Eakster

I just joined this site as the current owner of 3 vettes and over 30 vettes in my 40 years. I own and run a very sucessful bowling and family entertainment chain in Minnesota. In my first post I get a response by some nit wit named Eakster who I promptly responded to and punked off in front of the whole cyber world as well as challanged him to title race on the tv show pinks if it were still on the air. As unprofessional and and idiot this guy was I don't want to be part of this site any more because I don't know how many other nuts are out there. I'm sure that 99% of the sites members are good people but that moroon just gave me a bad taste in my mouth for this site. Also to the 7 people that I expressed an interest in purchasing your c5 Corvettes and I had cash, because of that incident and I can't trust this site now I must withdraw all offers on your cars. Boy Eakster you should be making friends real fast by now. Thanks but no thanks as this is my final post and I am closing my membership to your site. You should really screen people better before you let them in as members, I can imagine this guys backround, criminal record,child assult convictions etc.

I read the post he's talking about and he just blew up a built LT1 and Eakster told him to go buy a Supra.

I read that post. Big deal. If you do something stupid like leaving the NOS switch on, be prepared to get **** for it. Imagine what his beer drinking buddies said.

I just read the thread and have to say that I think you are a over-reacting a bit. Of course it is your decision to participate in this forum and it is probably wise to leave if you are the sensitive type.

We wish you well

You have to relax a little. If you do something stupid and tell people about it expect to take a little flak over it.

94, I didn't read the posts nor do I intend to. All I can add is if you run a chain of bowling lanes you are all too familiar with the one or two idiots that show up in every league. Same thing here. With this number of members there is bound to be one or two who do not hit on all cylinders all the time. I suggest to let the idle,call it missinformed, comments drive you away from an otherwise fine group is your loss.

With that covered; do you still bowl?Lefty or righty? What ball are you using now, how is it drilled? What is your current average?

You looking to make a bowling buddy?

If you made offers on cars for sale in the C5 for sale section, be a man and go over there and tell them yourself. And don't forget to grow up.
