I feel bad for the kid too, but no one is really "bullying" him. No one is targeting him. It's not like whenever he posts, people just make fun of him. Like others have said, it gets annoying when you see the same guy, making a new thread about the same thing, over and over. In this case, fender flares. I remember a few weeks ago, he would post like "All this car needs in some fender flares" or something and someone simply said "Enough with the fender flares already!" If he gets emotionally hurt from that, he really needs to just take a break.

Most of these new guys just have these pipe dreams of what they want to do to their car and make new thread for every idea or Photoshop they make. He's not the first one, but more like the straw that broke the camels back. There just seems to be a lot of it lately.

Thats the point. Look how many new guys that have been here a couple months have pissed people off and/or gotten banned for it. There seems to be a bad taste in the forums mouth right now with a no-tolerance level.

Then maybe the people that are getting annoyed should be the ones that step away and take a break, since they're the ones who aren't able to tolerate someone else's opinions or actions over the internet? Just saying...

quote Originally posted by fencerenu: I think that the Fender Flares annoyed people who are shills for certain other wide body kits. I'm pretty certain that's the case. And I think shills for a certain style of chop tops don't like Clynt's and Car-2-Lo's chop top pics being posted here.

Look at the title of this thread, and then look at who started it. The title implies it is a new build by Car-2-Lo, and upon opening the thread, it's just you posting a photoshop of his car. It implies he is building something that he's not. That is what annoyed people. Along with you posting MANY threads about fender flares, seemingly constantly.

It's great you are enthusiastic about the Fiero, but tone it down a notch. Don't make claims that others are doing something they're not. Now, if you want to post random photoshopped pics of cars, there is already a thread for that. I think the title is something like "Photo Chop Shop Now Open" or similar.

Relax, read more threads and search a bit more before posting, and try to be respectful of others' cars and wishes. You don't need to start a new thread every time you want to post a comment on the same subject. One will do, if there isn't already one fitting for the subject.

What he said. Hit the nail on the head.

And this is actually the first thread of his I've posted in, but I figured someone should maybe try and tell him why people are just getting annoyed.

quote Originally posted by aeffertz: What he said. Hit the nail on the head. And this is actually the first thread of his I've posted in, but I figured someone should maybe try and tell him why people are just getting annoyed.

I sent him a PM with the same suggestions. Hopefully he will take them to heart.

I hope I could clear this mess up concerning FENCERENU:
Out of nowhere he came crashing into our West Coast Fiero’s Forum Build thread and also Clynt’s build thread posting pictures on how we should design our cars. So I thought well, it looks like we have a troll here and we’ll see where this goes. He was told to have his own site on WCF because he is clogging up our build threads with a whole lot of pictures. That was fine in that he did start his own build thread on our club site.

So just as a fun joke, (that’s what we do on our small WCF club site) I have photoshopped my chop top into what Fencerenu likes.
I have added his pop up lights and the LOTUS sytle nose, fastback and flares. And since my car’s name is RAM-BUNK-SHUSH I have called it RAM-LOTUS-SHUSH “things to come”. Now at this point I did not realize that FENCERENU has started a new post on Pennocks with RAM-LOTUS-SHUSH by Car-2-Lo with MY photoshop photo. Since then the thread has grown to where it is now. I did not know this until Patrick has notified me it was on Pennocks. So now FENCERENU has been wrongly accused of things said about him. As I see it he is innocent of all the things he has posted on both websites we just took him the wrong way.

And I apologize to FENCERENU for accusing him being a troll and for this thread getting blown out of proportion.

One thing I hadn't mentioned yet, was that Johnny (Car-2-Lo) did up the original photoshopped image of his car (posted at the start of this thread) as a joke! He was pulling Fencerenu's leg by including all the suggestions that Fencerenu had thrown at us in our own club's forum. Johnny had no idea that his photoshopped image would turn up here at Pennock's.

I've been in contact with Fencerenu in PMs. Even he sees the humor now in the fact that he was completely sucked in by myself and other members of our club in our little staged event with pictures of Clynt's car.

I would suggest some of you cut this guy some slack. Yes, perhaps he's been rather over-enthusiastic. Yes, he's overly sensitive. And yes, he's gullible.

But he never meant any harm.

[EDIT] Johnny's post appeared while I was typing out my post. I didn't realize Johnny was going to post here!

Thanks, Johnny and Patrick. I will look forward to re-paying you at some point with a practical joke on you. :-) This almost feels like some kind of crazy hazing lol. Okay... Now let's move forward. I'll have thicker skin and I have to say that the Clynt mock ups you did were extremely believable. And the Car-2-Lo Ram Lotus Shush is probably the coolest car in the world. Better than anything my friends at Pininfarina could design. You're a regular Marcello Gandini. :-)

Talk to you soon on the West Coast Forum - if I get unbanned.

He "forgot" this thread: https://www.fiero.nl/forum/F...1/HTML/082177-8.html in which I posted a pic of Clynt's car and asked him to chop it like Clynt's, and then I made a photoshop of pontiackid's car and jokingly said "thanks for selling it to me" and then check the times... AFTER that, I posted the joking thread in which I said it was mine... It was all humorous and fun, and now he suddenly remembers it that I photoshopped and claimed it was my car... I just don't get how somebody could be that dishonest with somebody else's reputation... How can you act like that? bums me out that's for sure. :-/

I'm not trying to spred any false info or anything like that. That thred you made about my car was just a little out of nowhere. Your still cool in my book dude.
Reason i was a lil up about it is this forum knows me as a guy who "suposedley" flips cars (aka buy and sell) and i dident want people to think that in the case of my IMSA.

When Rob (Amida) is done with the car he is working on right now, I think it will look beautiful. He is reproducing the Lotus style fenders and kit.

I know... I have had his pics on my computer for awhile. It looks totally awesome.

That's John Carlo here in Vancouver. He is a true artist. All that work you see is hand done by him.

And more than being just hand done - it's all done in a driveway, a street, or a back alley (and the odd home garage).
No fab shops with all the toys, etc.

Just think what could be pulled off otherwise!

Good point!

Idk about all the drama, but I'd like to say that Photoshop looks so cool, what all was done? What kinda flares are those and what was done to that nose?

That's the best thing I have read on this forum yet. Mainly because I too will be doing work in the same type of environment. I'm a country boy in an Arkansas corn/cotton field. (depends on what is planted that year)

Does he have a build thread on that car?
That gives me inspiration!
