If you had bothered to read this thread from the beginning - or to have read anything else in the forums concerning my pursuit of an Exelero, you would already know that I have been given the option of purchasing one or both of the functioning Exeleros, what the asking price was, and that the reason I have not yet taken possession of one is that they are finishing their contractural or already-scheduled car show rounds - before they are available for purchase....
But like so many others, you go off half-baked, uninformed, or otherwise in a manner not contributing in any positive way to the forums and their membership....
But thanks for contributing!

The point is that it is a quest, a process, in an attempt to obtain one of these. I am sharing the progression. It won't successfully occur, or unsuccessfully not occur, until I get to the end of the quest - obviously.
What does 'true' or 'untrue' have to do with it? How can one prove the truth in this? Phone records with transcripts of conversations and negotiations?!!! Copies of emails back-and-forth posted up on these forums?!!! LOL
I guess someone wanting to have the truth of this quest will get it IF I obtain one and post pics of it here?
You see? It is off-the-mark, and childish - this proof, and truth, thing you guys have going.... Just not appropriate, especially in this case: how can one know that a quest is ocurring? When another posts chronologically about his efforts?
That is what I am doing, here on these forums.

I've been on this forum for a long time, and left it for the past year. I can't believe we're still talking about ClayJ. It would be really funny if one day ClayJ posts all the pictures he had promised and shuts everybody up. But unfortunately, if it hasn't happened yet, it's likely never going to happen.

So, if you get invited to a ClayJ track day with the gang, you may be able to 'have' one of the Elises for a day...at the track.

Problem is that there are too many cars at too many disparate locations, and it would be a herculean logistical task to find one place where I could have them all assembled, let alone providing the camera angle that would allow all of them to be captured in one well-composed shot that would still allow you to see what's there.
And since my ego isn't into it, and I enjoy the cars by driving them, I just don't really feel the need to pull off the Big Collection Shot.... But I have often thought about it....
Instead, all we get are these timeless classic posts!!!
Anyone been to a Fake J "Track Day" yet???

How many decent posts has Clay diverted, (read "ruined") to his adolescent insatiable appetite for attention? The worst part is we get caught up in his unbelievable diatribes. This is, after all, supposed to be primarily a Mercedes Benz blog.
My suggestion at this point: to to declare a moratorium on any acknowledgment whatsoever to CJ and his pre-pubescent posts. To me he is a non-person, not worthy of any response. Can you think of a more horrible scenario for the Clay? NOBODY cares enough about you to even acknowledge you are here. If everyone resists the temptation to spar with this poser, his tree falls in the forest with no sound.
The only reason for his existence is a psycopathic need to be the center of any discussion. How pathetic. Don't feed the beast and he will starve to death. It's worth a try. Any one else up to the challenge?

And he blames us for polluting the threads.
Say, what would happen if one of the Exelero's was crashed by some guy because he couldn't control it, like in the series of Enzo crashes. Would the world be more upset by it? I'm thinking not because almost nobody has heard of the Exelero....

LOL - Still in the GTA? Spotted Recently (vs end of September)?
I have my guy in Toronto still trying to chase down just exactly who is involved in it being there -- it is not supposed to be there; and I'm hoping that whomever that is didn't actually purchase that one, because she does appear to be a 'driver'....
The other one in North America (the other driver, and may or may not be the car spotted in Mississauga in September - but I believe that it is the other driver) has been making the promotional tour, ranging coast to coast from California to Florida...
So two cars in a North American city, to be precise, that I know of.
But my task is not to impress -- it is to get my hands on one of the two drivers...and see if I do indeed want to park a Maybachmobile in the batcave....
Thanks for the update - if it is one.

I'm not aware of one being spotted in Toronto, the fact that you knew that there is one in Mississauga actually impresses me and may add some credability to the usual b.s. that spews out of your mouth. Now if you told me the area and street it was spotted on than that would be very impressive. Anyone can find those pictures of it in Mississauga, but not many people will know the area/ main street. But if you really do have a guy in Toronto he'd be able to tell you easily.
