Just for FUN.

With no fear of being found out, how many posters here are lying about who you are and what you have? Women are included in this poll.

I don't know about anyone else, but if I wanted to invent an on-line persona I would make it much more interesting than mine.

Since I know a lot of these guys in real life I can't really get away with much.

Why bother making stuff up? You will get found out & look like an idiot.
I agree with Craig. It wouldnt take much to post a load of BS & look like some bigger than life individual.
Given its the internet ~ not real life, I really dont care if some one is a mega star with 10 latest model benzs & all the trimmings in life.
The information that people are able to provide on the tech forums speaks volumes about them.
I dont care much for those who are fully capable of picking their nose in public & not much more but are full of BS from google searches & set about preaching their opinions according to other fools blogs.

Agreed. I own five R107 SLs in various stages of restore to parts cars. I don't list them because it is not important. I contribute what I have learned in the SL forum. That is where you will find my counted posts. I have sold and given parts to members there. That is what the site is about.

This forum is just for when I get bored.

Although I make it sound exceptionally glamorous and fascinating, I run what I brung.

Like Popeye says, "I yam what I yam and that's all what I yam."

Bald, fat and broke wouldn't be my first virtual choice if I wanted to impress.

Its all me, the good, the bad and the ugly !

You can usually tell the fakes by their posts.

They are rich, always successful, great with women, etc...

But they never post any real things they are doing.

No engine swap advice posts, or pics of any rebuilds done.

Or no links to news stories they wind up in, like I did with the coffee party.

I am a fraud, I'm really bald and wear a long haired wig in public. Also I'm only 5'5" tall and wear platform shoes to look taller.

Hey man, have you ever been running down the street with a fork in your hand and then fall and stab your self in the eye with the fork? I hate when that happens.
