For Vanlandingham

Stay out of all the other threads. If you want to attempt to make me sad, bash me in here. This is your own "Timm Punching bag"

Use it whenever you want. Use it frequently, you seem to like it.

I'm done responding to your childish jabs at every comment I make. I just don't care enough.

In my eyes, which I know you don't care about, I think you have changed. Now, I also know that everyone else thinks I'm nuts and you've always been that way.

Then I was wrong. I was [unfortunately] lead astray by you. I built my car as a NASA car, at your advice, wow, even though its one minuscule thing, I had more freedom had a built a RA car. It's actually caused me MANY head aches.

You didnt listen when I told you where to weld the clamps on my struts. Now I cant run a front sway bar, until I fab up my own new mounts, and figure out a way to use universal 4x4 ones. Not a big deal for gravel, but a big one for the other stuff I want to do with the car. Thanks. Try listening to the guy that owns the damn car next time.

I can never get a straight answer out of you, and I'm not sure anyone can. It didnt use to bother me, but lately, as your answers get more and more ludicrous and more and more whiney with random stories about how everything is going to hell in a hand basket and you say NOTHING about how YOU are going to help, just what EVERYONE ELSE SHOULD DO, its started to bug me.

you've decided I'm not an intelligent person because I like understanding the mechanics of how the systems in my car works. Who the fuck are you to tell me what I should and should not learn?

I gave you 400 dollars as a deposit on MY rear struts. Around a month later you asked if I had money for rear struts. I asked what happened to the money I gave you. You told me that you used it to fund parts for some Volvo guy.

Some volvo guy? Do I drive a fucking volvo?

No.

Why the fuck was my money going to some volvo guy???



I could list more legitimate reasons of why I'm pissed at you, but I'm not going to. I have better things to do.

Dont bother calling me, I dont care. I've decided your a waste of time, and want nothing more to do with you.

So, flame away, sulk in silence, ban me, put up Purgatory, throw me in Rally Anarchy hell, whatever.

Just for everyone elses sake, if you want to quote me, and flame me, do it in here. Don't waste everyone elses time by making them wade through the garbage you spit at me. Its not fair to them.

Money comes and goes, but time you never get back.

hey Timmy, don't come here and tell ANYBODY to stay out of threads.
Got it?

And get serious.
You're a punk kid. You have no right at all to tell anybody anything.

You know NOBODY cares what some guys are doing fucking with stupid bicycles.

You know where that shit is appreciated and you know this isn't the place.

The rest of your whining, to barrow a phrase Meh....

I dont feel like doing this in the volvo thread, as I made this one. Here. You keep calling me a troll, so this is for you.



Might as well be right, once, right?

If you're going to keep giving me shit, fine. But at least change it up so each time I read it, I can get a laugh out of it. I understand you think I'm stupid, and I understand your convinced I'm a troll.

What I don't understand, and never will, is why you do not understand people can have fun in ways that you don't find amusing. You are not, and never have been, nor will you ever be, the fun o' meter.

People are different, and I understand that. Society changes, and I understand that.

I also can accept that everything I do will not make everyone happy. I'm ok with that. People have flaws, thats what makes us human. Its what makes us unique. And I'm a fan of that. If everyone liked the same stuff, or only did one thing, or only listened and agreed with one person, life would be very boring. Changes and differences are what make the flavor in this world so nice.

So if you cannot accept that, fine. I'll let it be. But I don't mind. Life is too short to get worked up over this kinda stuff. I dont want to spend my time arguing needlessly, and fighting differences.

I'm going to post what I feel is worth posting, whether you like it or not. If its not rally related, it will not be in the general discussion, as you pointed out, we have an off topic. So say what you want, and yes, I realize that the irony of this entire thread is it should be in off topic... my bad. If we had mod's they could move it... however, if we had mods... well, nevermind.

Thank you for seeing the humor in this. I'm not trying to be a bad person, I'm just trying a new way of showing this is getting ridiculous.

Welcome to the cult of JVL drink the koolaid or be banned.

Timm as long as you give JVL the last word... all will be good.

You have just as much a right to post here, or anywhere else regardless of your age.

Your age is completely irrelavant.

Do you think JVL doesn't make posts to people that are older than him, who would have viewed him as a "kid" once upon a time ?

You very well could be right about the change in him. I saw it too as soon as I put cash on the barrel for a deposit.

I saw it on SS.com and I've seen it here... JVL uses the forums to TROLL for business. When SS.com made it mandatory for "business's" to advertise in their business section, he didn't bother. But kept making posts / hints about his suspenders, fabbed parts, etc.

Imagine him calling you or others a Troll ?

Chauk it up to life experience, and come to terms with the fact that he will talk shit about you, call you vile names, insult you, and gawd know what else...

Just because you were an unhappy customer of his, doesn't make you an idiot or justify his belittleing banter.

It's not the first time in the history of man kind that propaganada has helped to hide truth and likely won't be the last.

John might find use for:

Dale Carnegie's book "How to Win Friends and Influence People"
Covering: (quoated from the web site)

Communicate with diplomacy and tact
Become a more persuasive communicator
Be an effective leader
Reduce stress

I personaly think Carnegie's stuff is superficial crap but there are good points mixed in with the crap. Really the points are valid, I just dislike they way Carnegieans typically practice the points.

In the long run reality always wins.

a few things:

A: This thread makes me lollercopter around my apartment.

B: "You're"

C: Timm, you ARE a punk kid. And Punk kids mostly come up with ideas that have already been done before. But sometimes, they come up with ideas that people who have been working on this or that for 30 years haven't. A fresh look on things is helpful.

D: I care what some guys are doing fucking around with stupid bicycles, because those are nice people if you care to talk with them, and they're fun bicycles if you care to try and ride one.

E: To the rest of every ones complaining, I have a noise canceling helmet for in the car and noise canceling headphones for strolling around town.


John, I know this internet thing is relatively new, given the percentage of your age that it's been around, but you certainly have become a professional troll in a short amount of time. I commend you!

Well tell me Jason, why am I a Troll but there's no comments to Timmy boy for several times telling people to get out of "his" thread on this forum?
Or for people like Shindle who only come here to insult?
Or....

In other words, why am I some baddie for answering these people in the tone and intent that they post?

You're definitely the right age to 'splain this to me, so 'splain away.

Oh and tell me, in the E-world, is it not done to take into account a persons comments in one thread and answer them in another in light of their comments some place else (as in my flipping Timmy boy shit for wanky photos having nothing zero to add to anything at all---as is braodly conceded--- in one thread, bearing in mind his absurd "meh" comments at some kick ass driving in the other thread).

See I think there are some here who intend to add nothing, just blab shit.
In that nice thread with the Slägraser 240, there was a glimpse of the begging of what could have been an good discussion on the spec of the car, how a normal club level guy builds a nice 8v Volvo--- but that was lost in the picky comments from these several guys who never are here but to complain.
Never a build tip, or a useful mod, never.

So why am I a troll, and these others not worthy of mention?

Oh, John, relax man.

How about this: in spite of all the spite, use your powers of finlandishspeak to inject positivity into RA for just the next 24 hours.

I know you can do it!

Remember, on the internet you win by loving the haterz.

Grassroots rally. It's what I think about.

I don't mind being called a punk, and haven't denied that. I just find it amusing that someone is on such a crusade against me. If he knew me as a person and how I spent my time, and not from inferences from questions/comments I ask/make online, then he would realize I am not rude. I might be young, and I might not care a lot about what people think of me, but that doesn't mean I do bad things. I live my life how I feel it should be lived, and so far, I think I have done a good job of being a good person. I find it amusing that John also thinks I cannot work on my car. But that's besides the point.

I could go through each of John's points against me, and rebut them, but I'm not going to. It wont accomplish anything. It's just fuel on a fire that will burn with or with out me directly saying anything. I can always be quoted in context, out of context, or any thread/post I make can be used against me.

My friends are happy, my family's happy, and I'm happy. I'm part of an awesome rally team currently, as a service crewman and media guy, while I chip away at my car, and I'm even by chance providing pictures for a few other people. I'm in school, working on getting into a 4 yr ( I was going to join the navy... [and as an airmen... so no seamen joke, haha]) and I can take a break and relax and go mountain biking when ever I can. I like where I'm at now.

So, if not caring what you label me, living my life how I want to, and having fun makes me a punk, I'm ok with that.

Welcome to the cult of JVL drink the koolaid or be banned.

Because John, you're so vocal and so outspoken that generally, the only things people actually remember you saying are snide comments and blah blah blah on and on about the past.

Maybe if you stopped typing for a week, and just read, you'd see from someone elses eyes what you're doing.

Hell, maybe if you hopped off the internet for a week...

Or imagine if we all hopped off the internet.

PS: I enjoy watching the Seattle Sounders.

How are the sounders doing?
