• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

STUPID QUESTIONS

I tell them what I paid for it and when they ask where I Always recommend my Dealer!!
But that's Just me?:welcome:
 
Upon returning from a Patriot Guard Mission yesterday, I stopped to fill the tank on my 2013 RT Ltd. Black Currant.

I usually get a lot of questions at the pump, but this one guy asked a really stupid question.

He said, "Do you know how much you paid for that thing?" I asked him "What?", and he said the exact same thing again.

I replied, "Of course I do, I paid for it." He then said, "Well, how much was it?"

I told him that I would tell him, but he would have to guess. I had the 622 matching trailer on the Spyder.

He said he would have to guess high because it was a real nice looking thing.

After about 30 seconds of walking around and looking, he came up with $18,000 and then said, Naw, it can't be that much, maybe $12,000.

When I told him (about $35,000 with the trailer) he shouted some strange words and walked away.

I love the questions, and occasionally there is a new one or a new way of asking. YEP - LIFE IS GOOD and INTERESTING.

You should have smiled at him and said: "Not one red cent. I talked a dealer into letting me take a demo ride on it six months ago, and I just never bothered bringing it back!"
 
I couldn't agree more. I've just never understood the big secret.

I always tell them that I paid $28,000. But then I added about $8,000 of aftermarket enhancements. Take these cool Kendra tires for example...you can't get them just anywhere...and then I show them the speedometer that goes to 200. I tell them that I once had it up nearly that high. I had to install the dynomench escalo-booster to do it though. They ask me how much a dynomench escalo-booster is and so I answer them: "I got it in Belarus. It's not legal here."
 
I don't get asked "the question" as often now as I did early on. Have always used the "well, how much do you think it cost"? approach. That's where the fun begins for me. I have had the lowball quesstimates ($6,000) or so a couple times--but most are in the neighborhood of $20,000 or so.
Don't recall anyone being right on.

The lowball people are usually told they start at about $17,000 and go up to $30,000. I kind of leave it at that.

Those who seem interested in the machine, usually get a more thorough answer.
 
My answers are eqqual to the person. If they are nice I am honest, If not I have used some of the above, althou the I escaped the nut house and this was the first wheels is a good one.

I usuall catch the end of Price is Right on TV as I sit down to eat. One guy for the final: Trip to France for ten days, 3 D tv, some othe stuff and new Mustang. He bid 18 thousand. Host kind of chocked, audenice booed. He was only 17 thousand low.

If the person is serious I'll tell them. But if it's just some knob on the street I tell them "I paid Eleventy Twelve Thirty after my Dollar NintyTwo rebate."
 
It's probably just me; but I don't like talking about money, and how I've spent it; with complete strangers. :shocked:

I was brought up to never ask such a question...

I agree; but, the question would be inappropriate, not stupid. I guess that's just me and the way that I was brought up.
