I have watched Rob's posts prior to this and even seen the car "with major paint defects", before it left the dealer. My opinion, mine, is that he is totally ignorant of anything that is not mass produced. The "major paint flaw" was easily wiped off, so it couldn't have been too major.
From the begininngs, if you are aware of the threads that he has created, it appears that he has always tried to buld a car that he could make a profit from. Much like a stock investment. The biggest flaw in his tale from my perspective is that he ASKED the forum WHAT they thought at every choice, so when he was done he had a car HE thought everyone else would want...they didn't. He also did none of the work and paid plenty for what he had done. Both of those add up to a car that the owner isn't happy with and that no one wants to pay his price for. It is a VERY common issue when the disposable income is larger than the knowledge of the subject that you are spending it on.
When it was suggested by several members, maybe a year ago that a Cobra wasn't for him...maybe a ZO6 was more his cup of tea, he became defensive spouting out that he was no kid an was more than aware of what he was getting. We can all see he didn't.
I have NO ill will toward, Rob what so ever, but do NOT take his comments with any serious consideration. It's just too bad that he didn't get that ZO6 last year when it was suggested to him......he wouldn't be out all that dough and we wouldn't have had to hear his whining. The positive note is that he won't be asking all those stupid a$$ questions every 2 days.
