Personally, I'm just happy to get pictures from an event we otherwise wouldn't get to see. And if this type of response is honestly considered an acceptable reaction to getting free images, I'm surprised anyone volunteers them at all.
That's what I do. I have pics I share and pics I keep to myself.
Again, I am just tripping and hopefully, everyone knows that. Jimmy has been cool. Heck, I'm a jerk sometimes and don't mind being called that when I am.

I never understood this masked face thing either.

If you want to show us the cars, then post the photos of the cars. If you feel the need to show us that you were there with someone famous or at some big event, don't post a pic of yourself and then mask your face out.

ReggieK nailed it with his post.

Jimmy:

In pics 2 and 3 with James Del Pozzo, it seems to eb the same pic from 2 sides presumably taken one right after the other. Why then are you wearing different sneakers in each photo? It just caught my attention and seemed odd.

the other thing, if you must hide your identity to everyone presumably because you value your privacy, then why are you so willing to share the identity of others such as James Del Pozzo? you show his face, give us his full name, and also where he works. Seems very odd to give out all this information on someone else when are give out nothing on yourself.

I wonder what others think on this.

Ted

This thread has turned into a bash Jimmy fest. Almost 24 hours has elapsed and it continues..? Mods? The thread is about the cars not Jimmy You guys ask him to show his face and he chooses not to show it. We have a thread on this board asking members to post pics of themselves.. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/hall-of-fame-and-voting-booth/92034-pic-of-you-and-your-wife-girlfriend-significant-other.html I don't see the faces of the folks asking Jimmy to show his in the attached thread. Why is that? Where is the "sense of community" that is touted here ? It is not being exhibited in this thread imo. This is the internet, and if he (Jimmy) wants to keep his identity a secret, then respect his choice!

While we shouldn't 'bash Jimmy' I believe Jimmy invites it by posting pics with the pixelated face. I've never seen anyone else do that before - and really, what's the point? If you don't want attention, don't post pics of yourself.

Anyway, Jimmy, thanks for sharing the pics of the cars, they're great.

Jimmy can post any thing he wishes....within the rules of course. So can I. I just wanted to understand the weird behavior. Forgive me, you know how we psychology majors are, we're nutz. We ask a lot of questions. Always trying to understand people and their behavior. He does it too often for me to ignore. But he can also ignore these comments. It's all good. No hating. No bashing. When I said he was acting like a jerk, that's what I think. I also act like a jerk sometimes. Most of us do. I don't have anything against anyone. Especially someone I don't know. If he continues post faceless pics of himself, I'll continue to question it. No biggie.

Heck, I'm tempted to ask the same question elsewhere....I see he's posted these same pics on every site I'm on. I didn't cause I don't want to cause any trouble. I'm not that crazy.

Was at the Trader Joe's in Newport Coast over the weekend and caught
Jimmy coming out of the Pier One next door:
