And while I'm on the topic of your next car, if you are so susceptible to heart attacks, brain bleeds, strokes and paralysed in one arm, have issues with memory and thought process and have compromised motor skills and coordination, how the hell do you still have a license?
Why are you even allowed to be on the road driving, let alone a V8.

Taking what he says at face value and assuming we are being told the whole story, I gotta say I agree 1000% with this

Back on topic, Will I buy a WN Caprice or a Redline with some losers Money
While you may have some issues causing your lack of written skills, it's unlikely it's causing your narcissistic personality towards other people. You openly write off your son, write off his girlfriend and expect the next "loser" to pay for your car. And while I'm on the topic of your next car, if you are so susceptible to heart attacks, brain bleeds, strokes and paralysed in one arm, have issues with memory and thought process and have compromised motor skills and coordination, how the hell do you still have a license?

Precisely what I was wondering. 5 strokes should be enough to cause a license to drive being revoked, yet he's tossing up whether to buy a Redline?

Redline. Awesome fun and still have a few luxuries. Well the 2017 does anyway, not sure of the earlier Redlines.
The earlier ones have more luxuries.

Takes me about the same time, I'm just a lousy typist, with slightly arthritic hands.
One finger smartphone typing and blurred vision makes JC posts fun for me.

Dont worry I have used PI and a Good Lawyer for other reason won 3 lost one. Think before you type. The Best case was two years ago when sued a Person that I won and got compensation out of him all because he told me on line "You should kill your self" Naaaa dont do that, The first thig I did got a PI to investigate what assets he own and the rest is history.

I'm 49, a young fellow compared to you and had my first of two strokes at 34 and have little use of my left arm and never will.
I can sympathise to some extent as my arm is withered and curled and I have a permanent limp but I'm used to remarks particularly from children.
I wish I didn't look like a cripple but I'm happy in the knowledge I been given a life that allows me to see my family grow up and nothing touches me as I embrace each day as if it's my last.
I have a BIOTRONIK defibrillator in my chest that shocks my heart to keep it in rhythm, it cost my health fund just short of $80K to have fitted and if I have a heart attack it has the power to knock me clean off my feet in an effort to try and keep me alive and it also sends signals to a monitoring facility via an iphone size box called a CardioMessenger Smart 3G which I have to constantly carry with me.
The monitoring facility phones my GP and my wife if the irregular beats get beyond what my body can cope with.
I don't get upset with people though as that isn't good for my medical condition and I wasn't aware I could take legal action against someone for saying something nasty about my physical appearance, not that I would.
Maybe if it was relentless abuse and I could show how much I suffered because of it then I may get a cease and desist order to start with then if it continued I may try and take it further to a payout.
Still good lawyers and private investigators cost too much for me to risk wasting my limited money on what I see would initially be nothing more than a slap on the wrist so I would have long stopped using forums before I put myself through that cost and mental suffering.
I wish you all the best.

And I'd buy the Redline

@KING46Calais V, I don’t think he has said he actually drives. He’s always talked about fixing cars (a rather therapeutic activity even for well people) and his son driving them.

As to behaviour, maybe you should read some of the leaflets that come within the box. Such may highlight that side effects can include depression, mood swings and such. These side effects are not as rare as some would expect.

You also can have a straw and camel’s back type reaction to some comments.

w.r.t. verbally bashing ones relatives, well I wouldn’t, but know many who do.

I’d cut the guy some slack as we’ve seen how calling someone out can spiral out of control on these forums.

Ps: @VFSV6FORME did say in his post below that he still drives which is off as license’s are revoked for medical issues irrespective of driving record? But maybe he has a supportive doctor as a lot does depend on the GP/specialist.

Your to young for this. Because I have VERY.VERY Low BP I have to go to bed (yes on the Floor) with a heart Monitor just in case I tilt and if my BP is Extremely low a very loud alarm goes off.
Regarding if some Defame you ( Last week 60 Minutes) or tell you you useless and hope you die or if you die you can be sued by your Family.
Anyhow back to the Redline. A 2013 Redline its around $32,000 to $35000 Bracket and I can scrape that but the BIGGEST ISSUE ISSUE IS. They are too far away from me, I dont want to drive 250-300 K away because my stroke Head wont like it because to stay focus for 3 hours of driving even with a person next to me will be too much for me. I have a TOTALLY Clean Driving record since I started driving in 1966.
OR
The one's I have seen or rang about so far, just about all of them have OTR with MAF or Even MAFLESS + the have Extractors + Lowered one or either modified in some way FU!@#$%^&*() I want a Standard Redline. I have two of Hotted up cars no and I spend a lot of time fix up my HQ GTS Monaro to be standard again.

After all the strokes one Main that i was otalloedto (see it got me again, it should be I was not allowed to drive) drive until I can prove that I can drive and the 4 small one that I recovered quickly but you are right I have 5 cars and 3 of them are registered and in total I drive locally the same roads the same suburbs and about 4000k a year totally o all the cars. Yes I love working on cars I always have. It took me 3 or weeks to modifiedaaa ( got me again) modify a Series2 grille to ftt in a series one car. My latest car that I fixed was the Cheap Ve Anniversity and its a beautiful car now, when I got its was smashed and horrible with issue everywhere.

The one thing that I noticed is the Early Relies. Should be REDLINES say 2013 to 14 MY 13 MY 14 and the 2013 MY14 Caprice V share the same features like HUD, Sun roof, the seats (look he same pattern) possible more.
