    Default a car story worth reading....

    ...imagine being the Mustang owner and his hopes of getting his prize car modded turn into disaster...poor guy...seems like a nice guy too.
    Just when you think you've had a bad day...how 'bout picking your car up in pieces, not all the pieces either, being out a chuck of money and having to get a lawyer...really sucks.

    seems like a solid guy Bill dealing in good faith...a shame. Guess I have been extremely fortunate in that I only had to get a lawyer once in my whole life...something about street racing and too many points :-)
    Some people are sue happy but this case seems unavoidable.

    Wow... dirty shops like that make my blood boil, too. Reminds me of a towing outfit here in Raleigh that literally steals legally-parked cars off the roads (and some parking lots) all over the city, then holds 'em up for $150. The place has been shut down by the cops a half-dozen times as far as I know. I think they went under for good a year or two ago.

    You know, I think that I should have a couple of friends go down there and talk to them..... Do they have an internet page? I would love to sign their guestbook. With a brother in Navy I personally feel for this guy.

    What I find interesting is that he didnt do anything about it but post it. If this is true and from what I read could very well be, why no legal action? If he was doing something about it all he would have to say is legal action pending, I cant comment on the subject. If he is in the military, he has lots of defences...that part just dont sit well with me.

    and yes I read all 54 pages, it stopped at 1:12pm today, must be a forum limit?

    clearly two sides to every story Jeff as you say...it may not wash but sad if its true.
    Not a rule book for something like this so may not be clicking off as one may plan...just happened a short while ago. If the business is as belligerent as stated, hope justice is served.

    i thought the initial thread might be suceptible to being one sided, but this is kind of blatant.

    There is other people tghat were scammed from him including a so called friend, later he visited and saw his old car there and the owner was bragging about putting in a high mileage engine with a cam and selling the good engine for 1500.
