Getbig Main Boards / Gossip & Opinions / Re: Mariusz "PUDZIAN" Pudzianowski and his Lamborghini

The only cars that are 'investment' are very old classics and Ferraris. Ferraris are actually the only cars you can buy and sell for a profit - at least the special ones like ENzo, maybe the 430 but not really. Either way, they don't depreciate much. A long term tester at Evo magazine went from a Porsche Carrera Supercar to a Lambo 570 to a LP640. On the way back from having picked it up at San Agata, the brand new Lambo broke down! The factory had to take it back to fix it. What a piece of shit for a car that's 200K+. Also, Audi ruined Lambo by throwing in 4wd on everything. Fucking Audi with their quatro bullshit marketing shit. I'd buy a Maseratti just to drive it for a year though. They're cheap as hell second hand. there are some people who look at exotics as investments...those that do, stay away from Lambos and Maseratis---they depreciate like a rock. Lambo because it has no real racing history, and because it has a "image problem"---it's the marque for douchebags. Lambo's top man (Mr. Winklemann) has acknowledge this. Maseratis---well a 2007 Quattroporte tends to go for 127k, when new, a few yr ago you can pick one up for 27k...that is 100k in depreciation. Far more than a Lexus/Beemer/Porsche of the same age. A Lexus is better investment than a Maserati? That's sad.
Some investors do. But, the market is fickle, sometimes a hard run car will garner more than a pristine one. Or one that had that "rusted patina" on it. Depends on the rarity, make and model. Babyboomers have driven the market up for numbers matching Muscle Cars. And the new "it" cars are e30 BMWs and pristine last gen Supras. Two cars are different spectrums, but prices are spiking for them.
People who have money to throw around and bought a Murci when new, probably have multiple other cars. And when tired of the car, got rid of it, and when the Aventador came out, got that. It's always the newest...
It's not a piece of shit, I was saying only in terms of investment or depreciation. A car that was 200k+, now worth about 50-80? And who knows where Pudz lives, and where the car came from.
No, I don't have 80k to drop on a car. But, I find it funny to assume that just because we see some dude in a high price exotic, that he "has the money", particularly when it's here today, gone tomorrow. Like a guy who deals with these cars said to me, "We can get you into the car...whether or not you can keep it is one thing."

No one is in the same league as Anderson at 185. The competition is terrible at middle weight and Anderson knows it. That's why he only ventures out of his weight class to fight mid-tier fighters or fighters like forest griffin, who's slow plodding straight forward style is terrible match up against Silvas counter punching and quickness.
Maybe. I'd really would've like if Dana gave Rampage to Anderson as his last fight - Rampage that is. Rampage bitched and bitched about fighting guys that only wanted to take him down. Would've loved to see Silva against a guy that would have potentially posed a danger to him. Of course Silva would've destroyed Rampage, who can't check a leg kick for shit.

Getbig Main Boards / Gossip & Opinions / Who made the best out of their shitty genetics? Pros only

Hey look, an actual bodybuilding topic!
Yes, genetics are everything in so far as bodybuilding is concerned. One only needs to look at some BB'ers when they get off gear and become Bruce Banner after the Hulk isn't angry anymore. To be a success in bodybuilding is to be a great responder. THat being said, there have been a few peeps that have made great strides despite having not the best genetics.
For me, the only candidate that comes to mind is Rich Gaspari. Narrow shoulders, not tall, wide hips, small chest, arms.
I'd post more pics but i can't figure that shit out on this Mac. Every pic result is a damn website and i can't isolate the images' url or what not. Fucking shit.
Who had shittier BB genetics than Gaspari, but was actually successful? I could see this becoming a tribute to Palumbo otherwise.

What is life?
What is life to you Rhomboids?
Getting a family, raising your children?
Then yes,it's away from life. Get a homegym in the house and be with yer kids instead.
Life is a roll of the dice. To me life is akin to different fighting techniques. You can spend all your life mastering a one-dimensional art (boxing, Karate) and being potentially great at it, or you can dedicate yourself to being above average at every martial art - or being an audience member. Getting a family and raising children is a social trap perpetrated so that you can never really become a trouble maker or pursue your dreams. What does every action movie teach you? The kids are always the achilles heel to the action star. In my 30's i have a decent idea of what it means to live. I sacrificed a lot of my teenage years in the gym at the expense of a social life, but i still have long ways to go. I never spent that long in the gym, but the time wasted was in making sure to not miss a meal, enough rest and all the bullshit the magazines in the 90s told us to do. Really i'm not bitter...

I get sick of this stupid shit. I've had people come up and tell me about this great thing that's awsome and i should try it and i would really love it. It's the consequence of no longer possessing an above average muscle mass. Now these fucking hardgainers think i need a workout. Back in my day these fucks wouldn't even bother looking at me for longer than 2secs.
Bodybuilding 4'life.

As i was looking around, realized that it's pretty cool to have a winter sport lined up since winter sucks so fucking much. Now once i master snowboarding, i didn't enjoy skiing, i can look forward to winters. But looking around i couldn't but notice that i didn't spot a single getbigger anywhere. This made me think. Does spending more time in the gym keep you away from other things in life? Or life itself?
To be honest i don't run into any getbiggers other than in the gym or maybe at the front door of a club. What's the point if you just use your great body to look in teh mirror when you're at the gym? Having bodybuild in my teens, i don't look like people who just casually exercise, BUT, i never spent more than 3 days in the gym in a week. Even so, many sacrifices were made in terms of diet and maintaining the lifestyle.
I follow the same type of workout as i always have but im a little more inconsistent and i'm not putting on new weights at every workout. However, given 3 months of straight training i'm 90% back in top shape - and on a bad day no one can ask; do you even lift? But now i appreciate the workout more because i'm using my body more. There's just no sense in putting in all this work and not making your body move in different ways.
Im playing more sports, hitting the bag every now and then and now getting into winter sports.
The idea of spending most of your free time in the gym pumping yourself up only to not do anything with it seems incomprehensible to me now.
How do you getbiggers feel about this?

The reason he's killing people? I think we all know his feelings on police injustice and corruption. None of that matters when you kill innocent people. If h killed police offices who directly harmed or killed innocent people I wouldn't give a shit but he's not. What he is, is a hypocrite.
Jesus fucking Christ not this same argument again. One guy goes on a shooting rampage against pigs. Do you even know what the function of the police is? They exist to break up protests and keep the general pop in order. Read a book you homo.

I just downloaded a Girls Do Porn scene with an 18yrs old. Can't wait to see that shit/jerk it to it. I would never consider a relationship with an 18yr old, nor would I go on the prowl for girls that age. I mean, wtf, am I gonna hang out at the mall on a Saturday afternoon to meet 18yr olds?
BUT, if one looked at me the wrong way, and knowing how old I was, was down to fuck, or wanted to fuck to get something in exchange, i'd teach her a lesson.

Feel bad for the guy for some reason. Seems like a good dude that was just too idealistic. Ironic in that he probably watch all those cop movies (L.A. Confidential, Training Day, Heat, etc) and didn't realize that the reality was far worse than what the movies portrayed.
Sad to know that he decided to basically end his life over some bullshit. I hope he takes out many pigs on his way out.

I'm in my early/mid 30's. Typcial getbigger, rich, 8 pack abs, Olympia caliber physique Good shape, not a permabulker but also not a ripped freak.
I'm at a Superbowl party yesterday and I see the most amazing looking gal. She is freaking scorching hot. Gorgeous face, a body to die for wearing black tights with the most amazing ass. I start chatting her up and ask her what she does. She says "I'm a senior in high school". So we talk a bit about college and I embellish a bit about one of her her top choices and how I know a couple admins there. So we exchange numbers. I am not exagerating when I say she is flawless. From what I get, she is not a whore, she is a smart girl looking to get into a top Cali College. She has no boyfriend. Did I mention just smoking hot? How old are High School seniors? I'm hoping at least 18.
Am I just living a pipe dream? Will I just be creepy old man trying to get in or do senior girls in high school dig guys in their 30's? Lately I've just been banging chicks my age and I miss that young soft skin and wrinkle free bodies. I've met some chicks in their older 20's and still found that 5-7 year gap is huge. Almost no interest in the same things, just a different generation. I can only imagine this chick having a Justin Beiber poster or some shit like that.
Any of you older dudes still mix it up with a lot younger chicks?
Excellent questions to bring up. I think, generally, high school girls look at us as creepy old dudes. That being said, i think there are a couple of ways in which you could potentially fuck her. 1) hang around for a long time (months) just talking shit and letting her get to know you so she doesn't see you as a old fuck. 2) use your superior knowledge to romance her and get in her pants. I think if the girl is sexually active, and 18 or above, then it's okay so long as you're not looking for a long term relationship. The problem with these young girls is that the longer you talk to them, the more you realize how much distance there is between you and them. They have no clue what's like to have struggles in life, pay bills, responsibilities and the rest. If she were a whore it'd be much easier to just fuck her though. So her not being one might make it harder for you. HOpefully she's the type that is malleable and you can show her many things. Also, pics next time or GTFO.
