Sorry, didn't know that it's allowed to post puzzles, knowing only rudimentary details about the puzzle's subject.
Interesting way, how to get additional informations about cars, which the poster isn't confident with. Unfair against the puzzlers, as good guesses and a lot of work may go in the dark, until only a picture-proof leads to the goal
Wow, how nice from you.
In just 3 lines you tell me I'm breaking the rules, I'm unfair and a lazy ass...and with a sarcastic touch.
I have litterally too many ways I can reply but I'm picking the one that most suits my view of this place (friendship & fun):
I am sorry if my puzzle made you search in the dark and I'm sorry if I can't award a point even if your shot in the dark was later confirmed by a proof.
It's true, I sometimes post a car I know nothing about just to collect more info and giving back points.
I do not agree with your vision of our rules. If there is a mistery car, there is a puzzle. Black hole is packed with cars nobody knows anything about and this is going on since 2007, the day I joined (after I joined the rules changed several times actually and there were just a rookie and an expert section at the time, but you know what I mean).
You are just wrong when you say it's unfair because I wrote plane and simple I was going to award a point for the info I have. I was going to add a bonus point IN CASE anyone was able to find the car but I wrote also that I did not know that part myself.
If you spent too much time looking for that info hoping I could be able to confirm your guesses, you should knew I had no way.
Now, after this frontal attack, let me give you a sincere suggestion: relax and enjoy. I spent on this place so much time and I know exactly that is more than a game. Hours and hours looking through books, magazines, databases...even the night I was thinking where I saw this or that car. I bought several books just to find a single car, not to mention the people all around the world I phoned to. I always said this place is highly addictive...and I just love it.
...but it's also a game and, mostly, a place where friends sharing the same passion get in contact.
I won't waste your time because I know the hard work behind...but please, try to address your thoughts with more respect and in case you have doubts, even a PM. It's not nice to read these lines in a place like this, meant for friends.
I was sincere, I'm sorry if you spent too much time on this, but I don't think I deserve your reply.
