The hikers of the Lost Coast Hiking Forum chiming in here in support of the poor Cobra owner.
Even though we get around on two legs rather than four wheels, our hearts and prayers go out to you. To the tenderfoot chump who STOLE the car: Don't cross paths with us or we'll kick the hell out of you, and our trail-hardened legs can certainly kick. |

Stangman: You're an idiot for driving that fast period. Doing it in another persons car makes you irresponsible. If it was your own mustang under those circumstances you probably wouldn't be getting flamed as much.
Blue01gt: You're an accessory to an idiot for defending stangman. I work at a dealership and people trust me with their cars all the time. I've never gone above 80 (on a tole road), or 45 in traffic. The vehicles I drive are Volvo S60's and S80 (you look up the price, it's alot more than a mustang.) I know that when i'm handed those keys I'm trusted with someone's car. They paid alot of money for that car, and for them to even allow me to drive it is a privilage. They trust me, and I wouldn't want them to lose their trust in me. Stevegt: "True. Blue01GT, buy a Civic." -- Don't say that, cause then I'll have to deal with this ******* doing whatever the top speed in a civic is (95?mph). As a Nissan owner I can tell you that there are enough assholes in Civics already. Poor Todd: You should have gotten a work order back when you got your car back from the shop. The name (or employee number) of who worked on the car should be listed on there. That's how you know for sure who drove it. Demand that the dealership be held accountable. MineralGray02K: Nice 740 turbo. Everyone else: Always ask around about a dealerships reputation. Poor Todd didn't have a choice since he had to go to the SVT dealer. I know that alot of the dealerships around mine have bad reputations for driving like nuts. Our mechanics take good care of the cars, and if they take one to lunch its for a real roadtest (ODBII hooked up and taking snapshots), and the customer knows about it. |

blue01gt: your an idoit, nuff said. wade73: you made a coment about short man sindrome. i have my own phrase for that and its for all you guys that are going on and on about ricers. its called "penis envy". i think you guys are just a little bent over the 4cyl. that just kicked your *** yesterday. lol... i actually joined this site just to show my suport in getting this idiot what he deserved, but do to my love for all styles of cars(except hondas)(keepin it real in the toyota celi) i know i know, im a hipacrite, ill keep on posting here. besides i have a freind at work who just bought a 95 gt 5.0( in san antonio no less) that ill be inviteing here also. keep it real guys rice burner or muscle car, where all the same bread. lol. special note to poor todd and fam. : this should be on the wolds dumbest criminals,hehe. sorry to hear about the car, been there, done that. |

I saw this on a Lincoln Mark VII board.
1. It's ridiculous. 2. It should be common sense that nobody should defend this guy. 3. To say that if you dont run your car hard all the time, you're not an enthusiast, is complete bunk. Be smart and save it for the track. 4. To say that having the car DYNOED is the same as what was done is VERY ignorant. I havent seen threads like this about Dyno operators blowing motors, hitting buildings or rolling over the vehicles....There isn't as much opportunity for disaster in a controlled environment. 5. I only let people drive any of my six vehicles when ABSOLUTELY necessary. My girlfriend of four years doesn't even touch them. On the same note, I WILL NOT drive someone elses car unless there's another option. That's just me. If I wreck my car or truck, fine, but if someone else does, no matter WHO it is, there will be resentment. |

My point stands. If you've taken your car to a dyno, and had it tuned, and tested on it before the car has gone through initial break-in, you have little room to complain about possible damage from some numbnutz punk SVT mechanic taking your car out for a 140mph joy ride. That being said, we don't know if the car was in the initial break in phase, not that it matters. Outside of the break in the engine will not be harmed from a "normal" 140mph run either. Now the way he operated the car during that run could be disputed. He may have overreved it, ground gears in the tranny, etc. He admitted he beat the hell out of the car, and that's why I feel there should be at least an extended warranty for free tacked on. |

We're here too
Even though I don't own a car, cause it's a truck, I'd still like to show my support as a fellow Ford owner..... I've been keeping up with this since the day I heard about it... and I still can't believe that someone would be that stupid as to 1) Do something like that to a car like that and 2) Brag about it. I can officially say that stangman96 deserves the dipshit award for this year..... congratulations!!!!!!!!!!
You can find our support at www.explorerforums.com Good luck!!!

was linked at metafilter.com
a couple comments concerning the consequences of this incident: *this board must have serious bandwith issues because of this thread. I'd recommend closing it, but not deleting. *this is a perfect poster thread for internet (in)fame. You're better off bragging to your local bartender than on a message board. *somewhere else on this forum it was said that this is the most notorious message board on the internet. I don't agree; the coverage you have here could possibly fuel interest in mustangs, cobras, etc.. and that comment is coming from me, an anonymous french pedestrian. *for people who came here from links posted all over the web, take the time to look around. It shows respect to the fulltime members here. |

Thanks for the clarification, Magiarn. You're right about it being a much more controlled environment in the fact it's not an extended mile long WOT, bangin gears, thrashing of a car.
I was fortunate enough/unfortunate enough to attend an all day (10hr long) dyno session on a 540ci big block Chev with a procharger, and N20. We went through over 20 gallons of 116oct race gas mix. Heh, that engine is definately worse for wear in my book, LOL. rue, this particular board is running the message forums on a temporary dual processor server, and the connection is controlled with a fractional T3. The initial period of being very slow and unresponsive was due to the normal single processor box being overloaded, and a queue forming, and later when the boxes were being switched out. I haven't noticed any problems since the dual processor box has been placed. Locking the thread wouldn't slow the number of hits it was getting as most people are not posting, just viewing. If the board was still unable to keep up, I'd agree with the topic being cut off, but as long as it seems responsive, I don't see the need for it to be shut down. I would also agree, as I posted on the "infamous comment" thread, that this board hasn't had it's reputation dirtied by these events. I think the vast majority of our normal users have ripped stangman96 a new one. I think this has been a great thread, and certainly worthy of being kept open. Take a look at the group of enthusiasts who've come together! Has anybody linked Ford SVT to this thread? With nearly 200,000 views, I'd think they might be interested in something of this magnitude. Amazing! |

I've just finally gotten the time to read this entire thread, and I must say that I am incredibly impressed with the collective support from enthusiasts of all walks of life - both automotive and otherwise! This is amazing.
I'm going to go on record as saying that Mr. & Mrs. Todd have the full support of Club Grand Prix, Rocky Mountain Club Grand Prix (of which I am the admin), and Colorado Club DSM. You've been wronged, and I hope that things are settled to your satisfaction. I think the dealer in question has no choice but to play along; how many potential customers have they already lost, and how many more would they lose if they try to debate the issue? To the 'tech' that committed this crime... Man, I really wouldn't want to be in your shoes right now. How you received your first official ***-kicking on the street yet? I can't say too much more that hasn't already been said, but I will add this: Stangman, you are the Official AssClown of the Year.
