SCC poll: which Coleman car would you buy?

Is it common for people to come on this forum impersonating me? If you see an imposter, tell me, I want to see it. I'll have to check the famous manual, but technically, I think having imposters means you're famous.

It's common for people to impersonate people on internet forums, famous or not. Being involved with a magazine that a majority of the members might read may not qualify as famous but it would qualify as well-known. Since you haven't presented any sort of credentials or any sort of verification that you're who you say you are, then there's no reason to believe someone's very first post on a message board (who then disappears for a week and a half) claiming to be someone even remotely well-known.

I could claim to be the CEO of IBM computers but just because everybody doesn't know who the CEO of IBM is doesn't make my claim accurate or even verifiable.

Anyway, as I said, whether you are Dave Coleman or not, it's an interesting question, so people answered it.

Personally, I don't read the magazine so I can't say (and don't care) one way or the other.

I'm with goldwing2000 on this. I highly doubt that eyesoreracing is Dave. I wish it was though, I really enjoy reading his articles. Unlike Rhagel, I think the writing does sound somewhat like Dave. I'm sure eyesoreracing, if it is Dave, would understand that people would doubt that it's him, especially with all he writes about "internet racers" and people who like to say they have a 500hp civics to impress people they don't know in the internet. Regardless, the question was interesting and enjoyable to read, as in Dave's style, so I played along.

my "the glass is half full side": If you are Dave, welcome to the board, and please stick around!

Exactly what he said.
 
And if you are Dave Coleman, I apologize. You have an awesome magazine, I've been reading it for about 4 years now.
 
Whether he is the real Dave Coleman or not doesn't matter, pick something and drive on! We have answered a lot of questins from people pretending to be something they aren't.

Having said that, my first pick is small and light such as the Elise w/ a rotary. I admit that an MX-6 like body on either the Mazda3 or Mazda6 running gear has a lot of appeal since I still have a 93 MX-6 LS that I bought new.

I think you need to chill.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I'm also the CEO of IBM.

And I invented milk.

The MR2 spyder turbo would be killer. 2200 lbs, MR, 220+ horsies. However, I don't think toyota would build something so fast and light, considering how their other cars have succumbed to "american tastes".
