    I don't think Jay was really trying to make fun of your car... but getting across the point that you're a lemming ignorant to what a real sponsorship is and pyramid schemes.


    BTW, I'm not "hate'n" on you... just spreading knowledge from my marketing degree. Hope things work out for ya.

    I mean, all of its business, I don't major in it. But there are plenty of schemes out there were businesses will have people go out there and spread the word, making the "sponsored" do all the leg work and the company can sit back and reap the benefits. I mean, on paper its a great idea, but sucks for the "sponsored"

    Yeah and what Charles is saying.


    If you're a "drifter" and Falken/Toyo likes you the give you tires AND decals all over your car to advertise for their product and with your talent or nice car it makes people want to buy the product.

    With THIS scheme, you are advertising for more people to send in 70 bucks to them so they can make more money and sell you stuff at wholesal cost, when if you look hard enough, usually you can do that anyway.

    Just gullible to me.

    I stopped reading this thread after page two. This is a waste of my time reading.

    Jay is right, I don't give a fucking shit what the rest of you fags think. The guy who owns this Crapolla could be a nice guy. That doesn't change the fact that that car is a rotted pile and it is not fucking "sponsored." Sponsored means FREE STUFF. What on that fucking car was FREE besides the rot? NOTHING. Get over it, you internet fairies, go change your tampons, and come back with a better attitude.

    If you wanna call the truth "flaming you" then fine. The bottom line is that I see "northern" cars that are 03+ INFINITI'S that the bottom is rusted to shit and starting to rot from the salt and shit up there. What makes you think your old ass shit survived it and only has the rot on the fenderwells? If you do think that you should come back to the world of fucking logic and reasoning.

    And I don't want a mother fucking cookie. How about you give me a beer instead.

    hey beer is always good...hell i need about 5 of them...i never said my car didn't survive, it's not like i came on here and said my car is the shit and i deserve this much for it. everyone is intitled to their own opinon but i never forced my car on anyone nor my ideals about my "sponsorship". i'm pretty much done with the subject so if anyone else wants to say any words about me car go a ahead...i (just as everyone else) have better thangs to do.

    Is the sponsorship transferrable after you sell the car or do you have to buy another one?

    Haven't read all the pages, but anyone that has been in retail business, or even knows anyone that has, knows how much things are marked up. The "pyramid scheme" sponsorship is absolute 100% BULLSHIT. Yes you "save" money, pay them $85.00 and you get a discount...20-60% off i think was mentioned. That discount is most likely off MSRP, so it's technically not the discount amount they claim because companies rarely sell for full MSRP. Then you add in the fact that everything in retail is marked up 100-200+%. They are still making at least 50% profit on every item they sell...that means they are still grossing $150,000 for every $100,000 they sell...that's not a sponsorship, it's a selling scheme making the victim, i mean customer, a walking infomercial of bullshit.

That discount is most likely off MSRP, so it's technically not the discount amount they claim because companies rarely sell for full MSRP. Then you add in the fact that everything in retail is marked up 100-200+%. They are still making at least 50% profit on every item they sell...that means they are still grossing $150,000 for every $100,000 they sell...that's not a sponsorship, it's a selling scheme making the victim, i mean customer, a walking infomercial of bullshit.

    which is why SCP is gay and full of rice.. they just fuck over the little man.. get some real sponsors like me and random.. we got t-mobile.. lol no but really this car is some gay shit for real..
