Facebook Car Group Drama involving hypocrisy, Cars and Coffee, group rules, inconsistency, Hennessey, and facts in general. Be warned. Calling Sneaky Pete ....if you want to input in this matter.

I commented on a post where they say someone’s Hennessey HPE850 Hellcat is going to be at Cars and Coffee tomorrow “Hennessey more l Hennesscam”. The admin/OP acknowledges it in a knowing way. I then list the specs paraphrasing “a pulley upgrade, a tune, badges, and headrests”, which if is a majority of what !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . I also include a remark to check out whether the pulley is from Summit Racing and to keep us posted.

To cut to the chase, I got banned. I didn’t get SR20 from the page but people who are part of it can before it gets presumably erased.

The page I was banned from, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , has a rule on not disrespecting other owners’ cars (which I admittedly neglected to remember and neglected to follow) but the admin hilariously refuses to give me a solid answer on whether to answer my question (and he took a long while to make said responses) on why he banned me, and whether it was the first or second response. Note the times between the response when I pointed it out.

Note Tim is the group admin and K is myself

I don’t really give a shit if I actually break the rules and you ban me. I face up to my mistakes. It’s another thing if acknowledging my first comment of “Hennesscam” and THEN ban me after I start listing off specs. That makes you look like a really, really fake person. The lack of consistency just makes the secretive and strong integrity of the group which is governed by your rules completely useless...

Edit:I’m not going to speculate anything, but I damn well remember talking the admin in person before about him putting a twin turbo kit that’s emmissions in his Viper...which one is coincidentally made by Hennessey (but not CARB certified.... !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! Only !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! is...if you are reading, Tim. Don’t get Hennesscammed...we all know the good ol’ boy in Texas can do it well but to whom he applies that to is his decision...)

And that’s the reason why I’m not the biggest fan of any Bay Area Car FB groups and stay on Oppo...and fuck it, I’m not going to Cars and Coffee tomorrow. I don’t really need it.

Eh..I’ve had myself recorded flipping a Lambo driver who many universally hate on a group...and getting into disagreements on supercar drivers self promoting themselves on car spotting groups...I’m done with it all.

Yeah. It's not worth the frustration.

Wait, there are still people on Facebook besides middle aged women posting pictures of their kids?

While you did break the rules, Tim seems like an immature child; his instant“yep bye bye” response is fairly telling, in this regard. I have to say though, for such a minor offense, having a “no warnings” policy seems to be rather ridiculous; it’s the freaking internet, after all.

Anyway, you shouldn’t let it bother you; if you want to go to Cars and Coffee, then go. Hell, you can even walk up to Tim and ask him if he ever checked to see if that pulley actually was from Summit Racing!

Nah...there’s always going to be another event. There is little originality except for the Canepa one that selectively chooses who is worth and does not bias to supercars.

I have to admit, Facebook is a trove of information that usually isn’t secure.

Some mods and group admins jerk off to the “power” of being able to act like irrational cunts to someone somewhere.

I think you found one of them.

I’m still waiting FB, have been for....6+ years? I use it as a medium to contact family members and neighbors. Admittedly, I don't go out of my way to contact old HS or college friends.

Banned from a Facebook group? More like saved from a Facebook group IMO.
