Default Hi there

Looking to de-noob myself. I picked up a '99 red NB1 with the intent to boost or swap it.
I've since picked up an S2000 on the super cheap so that's kind of derailed those plans.

Here's my shitbox.

So what was the point of this then... to try to get some posts to unload stuff in the classifieds?

Forget to take your meds today bro? Need a hug or a friend to talk it out? I posted an intro post in the meet and greet section. ONE POST.
Seriously what kind of neckbeard lurks this board to troll new members? That's definitely not the way to grow the community.

I originally posted a question about how to get permission to post a classified, but found out from the FAQ and edited my post.
I'm sure there's plenty of people who will appreciate my eventual sale listing for my NB1.

Oh and feel free to **** off of this thread if it rustles your jimmies so much.
Hugs and kisses.

I'm happy to see myself out and go back to lurking.

As a supporting member on plenty of car forums (s2ki, bimmerforums, gtrclub), I can definitely say this is not a good look.

Maybe I have to post questions about how to turbo my miata first?

So you support other forums, but want to sell stuff here, for free. Like craigslist. Got it.

Ps, none of those forums are on MT level on most subjects.

Dang. This thread got deleted before I even saw this lmao. Glad it's back.

First off, go **** yourself. I can guarantee that you wouldn't be standing in front of and looking up at me, trying to hurl that type of **** back at me if you weren't hiding behind your keyboard.

Second, I find it pretty hilarious that after that little rant you just confirmed exactly what I said in the first post anyways. You're not here to contribute, and nobody is going to miss you.

Seriously you folks are more polite to people asking how to turbo their cars. As if me selling my NB1 (dirt cheap) is a plague on the forum or something.

You mean like everyone else who posts listings here for free? Oh, okay

This is gold. Glad I rustled your jimmies.
  1. Don't be a dick next time? You started it?
  2. Lmao @ violence on the internet. Chump.
  3. Not contributing in the meet&greet ...
Yeah I definitely have no interest in contributing to a community that trolls new members IN THE MEET AND GREET FORUM.

Wake up and smell the sunshine bro. Intro forums are for intros. Maybe next time wait till I post to start your crusade against me getting into the classifieds section.

You're not a new member. You're here to sell something and contribute nothing. That's not a "new member." That's a worthless drive-by.

Nah, you're the one getting bent out of shape.

1. Wasn't being a dick, called it like I saw it, and guess what, I was right.
2. No mention of violence. Learn to read. You're the chump.
3. No, more like not contributing at all. You just came here to try to use this place to dump your "dirt cheap" beater after you found a different car to buy. You said it yourself.

With such an experienced forum goer such as yourself, you'd think that it would only take you a couple of minutes to read some of the other intro threads to see what actually gets a positive response around here.

If you actually wanted to sell your car you would have just copied that easy formula to a warm reception and moved forward with making enough non-bullshit posts in order to access the classifieds. Turns out you lack the mental capacity to do even that, which is why this is so hilarious.

You should definitely come back and keep replying to these posts.

1. You should go back and reread the first two posts and reassess.
  • Your reply serves no purpose other than to start ****; if you disagree you're a ****.
  • Why are you so bent out of shape about someone selling a car? Does my miata sully this forum or something?
  • Do you think I give a **** how much someone contributes when I'm shopping in your classifieds?
2. "I can guarantee that you wouldn't be standing in front of and looking up at me, trying to hurl that type of **** back at me if you weren't hiding behind your keyboard."
  • So what would change if we were in person? You were clearly implying violence own up to your words big man.
  • I would act no differently in person with zero regret or remorse.
3. I don't need to contribute to sell something dude. I don't know where you get that.
  • The 10 post rule is to filter out spammers, nowhere does it say you have to write a wiki.
    • or suck up to trolling autists like yourself.
You are a total shitshow in need of a major attitude adjustment that you'll surely get one day.
I can't understand your time & inclination to peruse the meet/greet forum and make posts like these.

Oh and don't worry you can sleep safe & sound knowing I won't list my Miata here.
I'm sure that extra line in the classifieds section would've really cramped your style.

**EDIT**
Thanks for the 10th post

I can think of worse reasons to join a forum...

Honestly your reactions aren't justified. "You came here to sell stuff so **** you you're an *******"
That's the purpose of classifieds, to have stuff for sale.
Stuff that noone wants gets pushed to the bottom, stuff that gets bumped too often gets deleted.
Forums 101 folks.

If you have a problem with it you should require paid memberships to list FS posts like many other forums.
Oh wait then you can't troll for idiotic and ignorant reasons.

how2turbo pls.

It's not you, it's us.

In order to not go through the absolute torture of participating in such a community, have you considered posting your car on Craigslist or Facebook?

Ever consider it's both instead of just assuming I came here to peddle my car?
I have no idea what will happen to it yet. For the $800 I paid it can be a paperweight for all I care.
I have room to store it however long I need and it just needs paint and a top.

The S2000 was 4k and came with a factory hard top, a deal I really couldn't pass up.
Plus I have a really nice ptuning turbo kit (3076r) in my garage from a previous S2000 I owned.

So the S2K will be a street car, and that's what the Miata was going to be. So now dedicated race car is on the table...
I was going to ask about people's experiences with different clubs/leagues and get feedback on spec miata vs time attack vs etc. etc.

Sure for a glimpse I may have considered selling it to a fellow member for $1000 or even less.
For that price I'm pretty sure nobody would mind my listing...
