Was it a a matter of Geico not affording JBS's equipment (which I seriously doubt) or a matter of their not wanting to pay his asking price?

However of all the races I've been to that the Geico team was ever there over the past I can't tell you how many people I've seen them help out, feed, or even sponsor in some sort of way or manner, ect..ect..

I wish Marc, Scotty & All the countless others who have helped them, and they have helped along the way nothing but the best.. I have a great deal of respect for what they have done in the past, and continue to do !!!
+1 Great team.

This thread made me do some research. Can't quite put my finger on "why" I decided to look this up.


douchebag:
An individual who has an over-inflated sense of self worth, compounded by a low level of intelligence, behaving ridiculously in front of colleagues with no sense of how moronic he appears.
That's from the urban dictionary, which can be a little outside of normal academic standards.

Here's from an online dictionary:

douche bag
noun
1.
a small syringe having detachable nozzles for fluid injections, used chiefly for vaginal lavage and for enemas.

2.
Also called douche . Slang: Vulgar . a contemptible or despicable person.

From Wikipedia:
Slang uses

Douche bag, or simply douche, is considered to be a pejorative term. The slang usage of the term originated in the 1960s.[5] The term usually refers to a person, usually male, with a variety of negative qualities, specifically arrogance and engaging in obnoxious and/or irritating actions, most often without malicious intent.
Sorry for the hi-jack. But if Marc or Scottie really called asking to buy the JBS boat and he then came on this thread saying these things, we seem to have a colossal douchebag in our midst.

Enjoy your 50' coffee table.

Wow you really have a funny way of making friends and sponsors.

You guys are hysterical-IDE love to meet some of you to see if you have to wear helmets on the short bus.

JBS- that's called professionalism, take notes and maybe you can keep sponsors in the future.

I'm sure if you made a deal even close to fair market value they would have came through. From your additude I would have to guess you think it is worth more than it cost because you own it....I know the type.
