    I gotta give him props because he probably said “Fuck it. Might as well try” It’s pretty ballsy for him to attempt to sell it for approximately what he’s got into it and to know he’ll have to deal with all the online hate.
    It’s not my taste and I think it’s overpriced but if by some miracle he does sell it to some rich guy for close to his asking price, he’ll be laughing all the way to the bank and to his next build.....

    What's funny about that is my wife's dad did say no when I asked him if I could marry her!

    That's a great looking 2nd gen man.

    LOL, both her parents and mine were like "Are you sure?" when I announced my intentions. Couldn't get that girl out of a small VA coal town with a pry bar.

    Never once called myself “enlightened.” If I had insta, I might say it there though. Maybe you did recently, but not before three pages of saying you were the “enlightened” on. Should probably make that your tag- the enlightened one, probably good for another 1k to your blog.

    Did you explain that you didn’t want her to get the black lung?

    She didn't work the mine, but her brother did. She was a college grad with 2 degrees, and had the career aspiration to be a dental hygienist.

    Haha. Good stuff.
    You didn't say " I am enlightened" but you said he is "projecting a false identity for attention" how do you know that? Are you enlightened? What if... He enjoys building 4x4 vehicles?... Lol

    Again... he didn’t build anything. If he enjoyed building vehicles he would know what to get and how to build it in a cohesive manner. He would also have at least ONE pic that wasn’t on pavement. So it was an educated guess, that’s likely more spot on then your assumptions have been about him and us.

    I want to take him offroad before I send him to Texas. Show him the ropes. Splatter his face full of...mud. Take selfies instead of lonelies. Seller, if you are watching this as tears drop into your frap, message me. Because while outside make look like solid Insta rainbows, inside is where the heart grows.

    Yeah, I hear ya. But it's not uncommon for people to have a desire to "belong" to group of enthusiasts but they just don't. Often it's a group of like minded individuals that share an activity or hobby that requires a certain amount of physical buy-in, like building hot-rods, tractor pull trucks, 1950's scooters or old Warbirds, it could be anything.

    But the underlying concept remains, the subject doesn't really fit the mold so to speak, but he has money and can buy all the shit the others build slowly working in the garage at night, hanging with like minded friends sharing the pain and joy of whatever the said recreation is. That is what makes the subject not another member of the click, but instead the worst kind of non-member...the in your face wannabe. He buys the best of everything to be as ostentatious and abrasive as possible.

    And yet choda boy is bewildered when the group patently rejects him.

    TLDR: He didn't build anything he bought it, rubbed his fancy trick parts in the face of those he wants to impress. Disdain and rejection occured, Now he wants to sell because nobody wants to play with him.

    I might be wrong, but I'm not.

    Exactly. To have a quote made on that you would have to get a company to come out and appraise it... People do that...

    And there's no evidence of that here.....
    And even then there's no where as many data points for it vs a stock truck.

    Clicks are dumb and I didn't see the owner of this vehicle do any of the things you said.
