Like the gent in question, it's my money, I made it, and only I have the right to say how it's spent. You want it to go to something that you feel is more important that what I feel is should go for? Sorry about your luck. If you really feel that you or anyone else, or worse, the government knows best how to spend MY money, than I suggest two alternatives for you:

1. Move to North Korea, and enjoy the benefits of a totally managed economy.

2. Take a long walk off a short pier.



Baron, when I was still at my previous job, we made a lot of 944 owners very happy by doing some homework and cross-referencing the Porsche and VW parts numbers. One example are the CV joints for the rear axles. The 944 used the same one as the VW bus and Vanagon. Same exact part in a Lobro (the manufacturer) box instead of a Porsche box cost 30% less.

It's a bit tougher for the air cooled cars, but even they pilfer the VW-Audi parts bin for switch gear and the like.

What on Earth are you waffling on about? Don't recall mentioning any 'Government' at all.....or telling people how they should spend their money? Might be because I never did. If that point is directed at a specific post then make it clear instead of generalising. People are just making the point he sounds like a completely vacuous, ostentatious and barely literate twonk. BTW I've got a few suggestions for you.

1. Move a little closer to the screen, never mind a foreign country. Maybe you'll be able to read peoples posts better.
2. Leave the Politics out as this is forbidden by forum rules. Otherwise you're taking a long walk of the forum pier. Obvious Republican blowhard is obvious. Give it a rest.

And you chide me for talking politics?

So it's OK for people to say the guy should have given his money away, but not OK for someone else to say that it's his to do with as he sees fit?



Obvious double standard is obvious.

Nope. No politics, nor political viewpoint espoused....unlike you. A simple statement of fact which I note you don't deny.

For the second time, its none of my business what he does with his 'hard earned', which I stated previously. If you are referring to others, then say so and address them and their post directly. Simples. To state the blindingly obvious, of course its his to do as he sees fit....we agree.

Obvious lack of reading comprehension is obvious.

I'm still waiting for the name of the shop that'll do my oil change for 29.99, to include:

9 litres Mobil 1 fully synthetic motor oil
2 oil filters
2 oil seals
1 hour labor of a technician well versed in air-cooled dry-sump engines

And who said he doesn't donated to charity? He posted on car forum about collecting cars. Or should he feel the need to justify himself for doing what he likes? If I donated to charity, I wouldn't go around telling people about it, it would just be something I did because it felt right.

If he invested the money in restoring/building WW2 aircraft, I bet you guys would be telling different story
