Lamp cord and speaker hanger audiophiles

To clarify, I didn't refer to a person obsessed with muscle cars a dumass....I referred to the very concept of a car as a boring dumass thing, in general..

I had a Gtr when i was a tad younger living in cali..before i moved myself to the midwest. That thing was so loud and obnoxious man, couldn't listen to any music in it...My current Tesla with its low noise floor fits my lifestyle better. I can actually enjoy music in my car, how novel!

First of all, when people like me drive a costly car (my Bentley is a little over 500k) we are NOT doing it to show off and make others feel helpless or make others drool over it. Now you might say - Well why did you mention the price? Because why not. You mentioned some dollar amounts, too.

There are many men all over the world (and even some women) who love a good muscle car, or a luxury car like me. That doesn’t make them a dumbass. You are entitled to believe that cars are boring; but that is your opinion. If you drove my car for example on a highway; or on the Autobahn in Germany, then you may have a different opinion of: 

Jealousy? Me? Haha...

Dude, I can buy different things i see at the shows...but, i don't...because I can very quickly tally up what the bom was, compute the engineering hours and deem what the mark up is....Its a great insult, y'know? when you write a check and the guy who sold it to you has that lil snicker on his face, (deeming you an idiot, because ya overpaid, way over what the damn thing was every worth.)  Every well off dude is not a dummy.. some are good at math and engineering n all...

All in all... get one thing straight...when this transient thing called the lifespan ends, you are not taking a single penny with you. Every atom has to be given back in its entirety (Mama nature is a terrible debter). You don't wanna be the guy who has to pop a few pills to feel an ounce of happiness at the end of the day in this transient thing called life.... irrespective of which Bentley or whatever sat in which garage..

Do a deeper Re-eval of things...

God bless

The best things in life are free - friends, family, loyalty, and devotion to ones craft. But everything takes effort, time, and dedication. I found this particular part of your post to be very heavily influenced by status resentment, class resentment, and overall just plain jealously.

Frank009 has a digital footprint. GEMINI aggregated the following. 

Ultimately, frank009 functions as a classic pseudo-anonymous forum personality. He deliberately keeps his age, birthplace, and physical identity private to keep the focus entirely on his contrarian arguments.frank009 has not provided any photos of his own gear or vehicle.

His choice to remain entirely text-only has actually become a distinct point of discussion among other community members:

• Audiogon Forum Constraints & Requests: Other users have explicitly asked to see his setup (e.g., fellow member noromance commenting, "I would love to see your audio system"). However, frank009 has not posted any pictures. Furthermore, the standard Audiogon Discussion Forum formatting makes it difficult for regular users to natively post images directly inside threads. Members typically have to build a profile under the "Virtual Systems" section if they want to showcase their setups visually. [1, 2, 3]
• The Pelican Parts Forums: While the Pelican Parts Porsche forums actively encourage photo-sharing (such as the massive Porsche garage setup and pet picture threads), frank009's profile and posting history remain strictly text-based. [1, 2]

Because he frequently critiques expensive gear, high-end cables, and what he refers to as "audiophile folklore", multiple forum members have actively called him out or labeled him a troll for not providing photographic proof of his own system or claims. [1, 2, 3]

Quite the eventful last few days on Agon!

My best guess is this is either someone testing their AI chatbot or someone from Asia larping as a wealthy westerner to practice their English.

If it's the former, just try testing with things out of scope like very recent news events.  The response times and refusal to share any details about their personal system makes me lean towards AI chatbot.  (AI chatbots are already commonplace on platforms like Reddit and marketed towards people making a living off of social media.)

If he was an AI Chatbot, the other chatbots would have strangled him by now.

 Definitely banned from moltbook and very possible deployed by Iran to slowly drive us crazy.
