He clearly stated he bought the building in Oct to move his collection into it.
My shop and track cars.

Holy **** - just when you think it can't get more ridiculous. Wow, you do double down endlessly!MBUSA said:Ol_Ag_02 said:MBUSA said:jetch17 said:
i have a co-worker with a place in Dripping, huge car nut - can he stop by your shop and look around sometime this week?
He can do whatever he wants. Nobody is going to be there. He won't see anything inside.
Hey.... you *******s back off of MBUSA. That hotel / restaurant / retail / car detailing empire doesn't run itself.
Diversification is the key. The retail and real estate has been my mainstay for 28 years. The hotel and restaurant are 8 and 6 years old respectively. The detailing thing started because the few people to do show quality work are pretty booked.and the high end market has exploded in Austin.
I guess it will also piss some off that I am an initial investor in COTA.
The thought was he was previously DE88. These posters had completely different political leanings from Barnes. But maybe it was the most elaborate troll yet.
I know if I had a car collection like that I certainly wouldn't have any pictures on my phone of me with the cars and I definitely wouldn't want car junkies to come see them...
Oh wait, the exact opposite is true.

He really wanted us to be able to see his car collection, but I ruined it by being a jerk. Sorry guys.
I think he wanted ezmoney to come see his awesome collection. That's why he hijacked ezmoney's thread to show his "favorite daily driver" and his McClaren(s).
Mr. MBUSA: Your car collection is outstanding, you obviously have good taste. I might suggest you work on the art of the 'humble brag'. Your posting technique is awfully familiar to the Barnes poster others speak of.
Actually, I was going to ask why there are four De Tomaso Panteras sitting in the garage. Seems like an odd choice.Goat Man said:

If you are "Mark", then why does it say "R. Ritchie" on the driver's door?

Nothing wrong with having more than one Pantera, got to have at least one of each 351(C/W) and exhaust combinationgggmann said:

Because I've gone waaaay to deep with this, I did some flying around Google Maps satellite view looking for metal buildings near the Barton Creek area of Austin. Came across a building which seemed promising and street view had a couple of car trailers in front. The outside seemed to align with the photos from the first post. (I'm an architect, so buildings are my thing.)
A check of Travis County Appraisal District with the address brought up a gentleman with the initials matching those on the green GT3RS shown on the Mustang forum link.

Nice find, jrrhouston98!
More pics of the green #65 and red #64 cars, and I think the yellow #99 was changed to #991 by simply adding a 1 to the end:
I can't be sure, but I think they're part of a driving school like Edge Addicts, or maybe something to do with Porsche Club of America and Austin Schnell Fest.

In October I picked up a place in Dripping Springs which I'm in the process in turning strictly into my race shop.
And ANOTHER name on the red car in this pic. Damn, guess I gave up may ability to get a private tour.
My friend here in Austin actually does race Porsche's at COTA on the reg. I can show him these pics and he'll know straight away who actually owns these cars.

Crazy because this one says something else entirely
From what I can tell, the last name on this car is "Wester" which matches to "Medical Capital Recovery, Inc." and the shop address I found near Barton Creek.GrapevineAg said:

Medical Capital Recovery, Inc. has nothing to do with "Retail and real estate; a hotel and restaurant in Austin." which he mentioned a couple of pages back.
I'm convinced MBUSA is an epic troll.

Wow, MFBarnes visits the auto board. We should feel privileged.
Been sitting on the MBUSA sock for 2 years?
The original thread which took down mfbarnes the first time. The whole thing started on the Auto Board. #TexAgsKnowsStuff

Just read through that thread, wow. You guys should have let him dig this hole a little deeper before filling it in on him. Still a good laugh though.
Y'all look pathetic because I'm not Barnes.
Is the building that was referenced on page 2, the one I found to be owned by the Medical Co. in Austin, the one you say you got in October? If so, can you explain why the last sale was in July of 2018?
Just because you're not Barnes doesn't mean you're not trolling. And, of course, all this could be legit and you not be trolling, but fair questions have been asked and you're the one who brought all this up. We'd like an explanation.
If you don't want to, fine, but don't call us out for questioning you.
Ah, I see the eternal battle between suspected MFBarnes trolling and weaponized autism of TexAgs rages on. The ultimate game of cat and mouse, where no one is a winner. My popcorn is ready.

What if MB is not Mark Barnes but Michael Bennett? He's got a crazy streak in him.hatchback said:

Barnes...the gift that keeps on giving.
Corporate lawyer with 5 patents in the processing of Medicare payments. Definitely the background needed to own a plethora of cars. He is also has a sushi place/company in Austin
So it's a legit back story?
*gulp* any Austin-area hotels listed? Potentially started in the last 6-8 years?tk for tu juan said:

Yep. "Lindsey" was so convincing that Barnes got all of aggiehawg's personal information: name, phone, private email, etc. And hawg is suppose to be some super experienced attorney.Bregxit said:agdaddy04 said:

So was Barnes' assumption of Lindsey Del Riego's (ldelriego on TexAgs) identity, complete with real life photos of her and her family.

Maybe I missed it on the Auto board, but Bregxit on the Outdoor board noticed the red curb painting to the far right across the street on both (top) views. Also in the last pic from the higher angle. Would be a very odd coincidence if it were indeed a different building and location.
I believe him. I would not doubt that he is wealthy enough to gift me one of his lesser cars. If so, I will take a pic of me and this thread with the car and post for all to see.

well, i feel poor
Lol. Why? Because some rando online posted something you perceive to be wealth? Dude. The internet is loaded with these people. This is like Facebook on steroids. I literally know a dude that posts his high end sports car and pictures of his boat on the lake. He's broke. It's leased. His wife left him for someone with actual money.
If something you see online sends you the bull**** meter, it's guaranteed to be bull*****
Don't feel bad for anything. Perception is reality and the internet is a great place to troll.

Use the garage door for measurement. Not even close.
Interior shots the door is in the middle. That one's not.
