As a result of this exchange with Bambino, 14 more clients booked with dreamgirl, each one buying her a whole days worth of meals. It was grand. Originally Posted by Whatwhathuh

Well, that was about it. I felt it was fine, particularly the first 5 years.

The man has a federal charge on his record and paid nearly 70,000 in fines. I think he’s suffered enough berry. Let’s let him enjoy his life with his children and be thankful for the time you all had to take advantage of the early Indys days. Why are you so salty? Originally Posted by Dreamgurrl

And I am not salty dear, I just prefer people being honest and factual and I dislike when someone rips someone off

Agreed. Good traveling providers (especially ones who did not require personal information and charge a fair price) could clean up here given the state of the market

Has to be a way to get some of them back Originally Posted by berryberry
Alright, this got me thinking. How many guys here would patronize a good travelling provider, especially one who did not require personal information and who charged a fair price. I am not necessarily talking about the XOC quality girls, but rather the type Laserface described. Decent looking, solid performance, dependable.

If you would, what would that fair price be?

Why get a room. She has a fleet of cars. I’m sure we could find a nice one for a car date!
250 for silvermine? Shit I got ripped off for years. I paid silver and gold. First year was platinum but we didnt have platinum yet. 250 for 7 years is a bargain. Originally Posted by blkstocking

It was the multiple felonies at the state level and jail time as a result of an indys function and their subsequent coverup which made me salty. I prefer informed consent for illicit things. (and let's be honest: all that was completely scrubbed from indys on an ongoing and permanent basis).

The couple of times I met PI, btw, he seemed like a nice enough fellow. I have sympathy to folks who incur legal woes as a result of victimless crime. Because I also want to avoid legal woes from victimless crime, I arrive again at "run your shit how you want, but a crooked or dangerous game merits a call out." He and Mal were also fully within their rights to censor everyone who talked about it (as they did). But the sympathetic figure histrionics aren't a good look given what actually happened and the utterly uninformed risk indys was as a result.

Well, when your participating in unlawful acts, victimless or not, you have to face the consequences if caught. If PI didn’t know this, it’s his own fault. But he did. He played fast and loose. When it came to Indys and it’s daily content, he was protected by the first amendment. But when you coordinate a function with hookers crossing state lines, that’s a felony. And a serious one. He got off easy. He paid a fine and some legal fees. No jail time. Although he let Mallory sit in the hoosegow over the weekend before he bailed her out. When you play that game, it’s the cost of doing business. But it was the beginning of the end for Indys. The vaunted color squared vouch system proved to be worthless. The cop who penetrated Indys handle was Krewman. He was a green square. The trust factor in the local hobby disappeared. I shed no tears for PI. He did have a great idea. He built a nice income for himself. But he was arrogant and ruthless. He basically did himself in. And there you have it.

Why pay cash for a bike but lease a car? Leasing is the dumbest way to drive, financially speaking.

They become prohibitive the more miles you pay for. In my case, I put on more than 30k miles per year. I couldn’t lease because I drove over 30k per year. I bought and took depreciation on taxes. But my SO was a VP in my company. So I leased her vehicles. I ran both thru my company. If you’re someone who isn’t in business, it’s best to pay a car off and own it for years. But most people don’t. Motorcycles are no different.
