It appears Whistlindiesel just bought a Ferrari....

I guess you are right. Its the rest of the herd that is crazy.

 

If these are the values you support, then I can understand why you think FChat is the real world and the 31,000 comments. You'll find a lot of agreement and commonality with the "bro's" and other children in the YouTube comments. You're living in a bubble.

 

Now you are resorting to putting words in others mouths. I have never once supported them and you are very aware of that.

I am just not obsessed with them. You are.
I have thousands of posts helping others here with their Ferraris.

 

I guess you missed that he has been posting since 2004. So not terrible more than you have in the last few years. You also realize by posting a link to the video is exactly what they want and it gets more people to click which is how they make money. If there is something that bothers you, ignore it, don’t post about it so others then join in to view it. At this point you just enable them and they will make more content. Just my .02 and no disrespect intended to anyone.
As for destroying a vehicle there are some people that would say it’s crazy to own a 400k vehicle and have it just sit and never drive it. Other people would say it’s crazy to own a 400k that is capable of doing 205 mph when the fastest you may go is 70. Bottom line is we all work hard for our money and you are free to do whatever you want with it. You may think it’s insane for someone to spend 100k on a 2 week vacation but if that’s what they want to do then more power to them. Different strokes…..

 

No different strokes allowed. You must live and think by his standards.

It is interesting he is the only one here supporting the idiot in question. The only one here putting money in his pocket but we are the ones who are wrong.

 

The success and clicks of this kid's video's will not hinge on me reposting them. Someone working hard and choosing to have the car sit in their garage, like many great collectors, doesn't bother me. The intentional destruction of wealth without the wisdom of knowing they are destructing wealth is what pisses me off. This kid hasn't lived long enough to even understand it.

 

Pot meet Kettle.

 

I'm not obsessed with him, I just made a post and now we are arguing over values. I suppose you just turn away from things you don't agree with and ignore it, like you've done with me.....oh wait......

 

You may be missing it but his destroying of his car is how he makes his wealth. Let’s assume he bought a 20k car and destroyed it for clicks, would you be ok with that? How about if he was an artist and painted an amazing picture that someone would pay him 100k. Instead of selling it he destroyed it for clicks. Would you be ok with that?
I believe that a Ferrari is something special to you that means a lot, as it should, and it pisses you off that he destroys his. Now, What annoys me is how anyone makes money by being a social influencer. I like you, have worked to hard for my entire life and it boggles my mind that people make money making dumb content.

 

Which came first, buying the Ferrari or destroying the Ferrari that created this kids wealth? There is a guy that I know that lives just a few miles from me. He's the biggest Youtuber on the planet. 149,000,000 subscribers. I've got no problem with this young man. His wealth was created by helping others. As I stated earlier, it takes NO talent to destroy something or make the culture more coarse. Some people think their contribution to the culture is to make it more coarse and cynical. I happen to think that is the wrong way to live one's life. He put it out there, I'm just adding my 2 cents to his contribution.

 

Should Ferrari not sell to owners who, through their own incompetence of overestimating their driving skill have crashed their car on the street or track? Keep in mind that on the street this also endangers others?

I think the guys who buy LaF’s and Enzo’s and then never drive them and put them in garages as art work are even worse than Señor Diesel

 

This site can be really helpful, informative, friendly and full of great banter.

However, lately I’ve seen between here and the rap thread that if people don’t like how someone thinks or does something different than they would, they are somehow unintelligent, or lesser than them. I just don’t agree with that logic or even see how it affects their life enough to express an unfounded opinion like that

 

Having an accident and intentionally destroying a car are two different things in my mind. You think the guys that buy LaFerrari's and Enzo's and use them as works of art for display are no different than the guys that buy the same works of art and goes about setting them on "fire" are equivalent? I don't agree.

 

Of course, this is why he does it. He didn't invent this type of outrage for $. That's been around for at least 100 years. His motivation is not in question and is clear to everyone, including me. There will always be someone that cater's to this type of thing and he is no different than the other **** that have come before him. After 55 years though of being alive and witnessing the various **** that do this, I'm not one that has resigned and retired to accept it as normalized behavior. I think it still needs to be called out. I haven't given up. Call me Don Quixote for charging at the wall if one must. Call me a snowflake too if that get's your rocks off. There is a way to make money with dignity, and then there is this way, the Jerry Springer way.

 

Well, you are confusing having a moral stance and sleeping well at night as mutually exclusive. Personally, I can do both. . Some folks are simply too cynical and have given up or don't care.

 

Listen here Cheese Curd, why don't you take your completely reasonable opinion and shove it up your a..

Lol just kidding. I agree with you my fellow Wisconsinite.

I kinda like his stuff. Pretty sure he is a replica of me if I had money to burn..(we kinda look the same too..lol) I don't think I would be wrecking a Ferrari..but DEFINITELY Audi products..and would happily destroy as many Gallardos as possible.

 

I SOOO agree with Gallardos— god I hate those things- ugliest square box of a car ever

It’s just a page out of Barnum and Bailey, except when you’re only 1 person you have to be ringmaster AND clown.

 

You get it, many people here don’t realize he’s the smartest person here. Paris Hilton boosted the adage, no such thing as “bad press” the Kardashians made it an art form. All the people hating on them is exactly the point, and they are all laughing to the bank.

 

Even when that thing he destroyed is 100% tax deductible? Pretty smart if you ask me.
