Remember the "Sponsorship opportunity" guys?

My history doesn't quite read brilliant either, but there is no way I'd beg the public to cover for my ass.

Ok but do you just glibly dismiss it like this guy does--and then go insane on a utterly stupid and utterly pointless project?
I don't think so.

Wow, how does he manage to survive with society all out to get him like that

My favorite bit is "...... and his skills are honed", just how do you hone your "mad rally skillz" without a license for 5 years?

Just wow. Facebook pictures are interesting. He has pics of Adriana Lima and the old Checkpoint racing store... A $40,000 Kia with rear drum brakes, but plenty of vinyl graphics.

He also claims it's the first stage rally Kia in the U.S., which isn't even true. Lon Peterson drove a Dave Wolin prepared Kia Sephia back in 1996.

How did that guy get into that interview?

It reads like he wrote it himself in the third person. Pretty much 100% sure that is what it is.

Should someone send him the KIA articles?

You could try, but it won't help.

I have tried having adult conversations with Adam, he just doesn't get it.

He's been told a hundred times over how wrong he is going about this whole thing. Any form of even the simplest constructive criticism in the kindest tone is taken as a personal attack. His whole world view is firmly seated in lala land. Sometimes I am not even sure he lives on a planet I like to call earth.

Hello?? Because that KIA ran in SCCA ProRally, not RallyAmerica. So he continues to be special because of that!!! Its funny on how he protrays himself and the poor ol'guy who's world is out to get him just because he was born!

I'm a bit tired of people exploiting Matt in their PR. I think some people are crossing the line with respectful use of his name. This guy is an example of one of those people trying to exploit his death for their own benefit. If I start seeing press releases for him on something like Rally-America's website, I'm going to actually contact them to take it down.

His whole kickstarter or whatever it's called is a video pretty much showing video of Matt running and then talking about how he helped work on his car so you should give him $15,000 to full fund his rally budget. He's putting in a 300hp NA motor into the car and didn't even have a cage? I don't see where $40k went into that car, unless it's for all the drugs he did brainstorming the build.

I'm sure there are hundreds of people that want his custom etched Oakley glasses too... /facepalm.
