Please consider that usually it take even longer than this to order most standard, run of the mill, supersports cars. Unfortunately, this customers patience, ran out, much sooner than that."
What does any of that have to do with satisfying our EPA (they govern the emission control systems and on-board diagnostics) which would be the bigger hurdle for importing and selling a car like this?

ESP is basically stability control - a requirement of all new cars sold in the USA for the 2012 model year and beyond.

A straw man or straw person, also known in the UK as an Aunt Sally, is a type of argument and is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position. To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by replacing it with a superficially similar yet unequivalent proposition (the "straw man"), and to refute it, without ever having actually refuted the original position.

You can insult my girlfriend all you want for all I care. It only helps people understand why you would side with that moronic racist child.

Thank you for quoting my question which still remains unanswered and then blabbering on about a straw man argument which isn't at all what has been presented here by me.

...unless you were referring to your own 'blame the weather' argument for the paint issue? I would totally agree that was a pretty clear straw man position to take since you clearly don't know what happened to the paint.

Still hilarious that a guy who lives in the desert where it is currently over 100F degrees thinks that 80F is "baking hot". You couldn't cook a hot dog on the sidewalk when it is 80F outside, you certainly aren't going to blister any paint.

If it was that guys own paint it could have been too old. Why are you even speculating when you have no way of knowing???

I took some time to review your previous posts here elhimiel and it has become clear that you are an obvious shill for Koenigsegg. I hope they are paying you well for all the service. I bet your IP address history here would tell an interesting story too.

I fail to see how proving his identity to be not as innocent as he might have us all believe makes me a sick person, but that just adds to the long list of ridiculous arguments the two of you have made in this thread. Guess I shouldn't be surprised...

I fail to see what talking about is personal life or identity adds to the subject we were discussing. Guess i shouldnt be surprised with the ridiculous arguments you present us. Its what happens when u're not adult enought to stick to the subject and try to hit people by talking about their private life or identity. Anyway..... Kids.....

I accused him of being a shill. Do you know what a shill is? A review of the IP addresses that are associated with his posts could shed light on my theory. This isn't about talking about his personal life - you are confused.
