fallujahmedic, if it make you feel any better, i recently had a runin involving my car too:
altough I'm only 16 I've been dreaming about mustangs since i was born. Well this year my dream came true. In my neck of the woods there's a shop that a guy by the name of Jack Dressen and his brothers run. They redo about 20 mustangs, tbirds and cougars a year. Jack was able to find me a 68 coupe, NV car, absolutely no rust and Every single weld on the car was FACTORY absolutely beautiful car.
well this other guy (who will remain unnamed) had first dibbs on this car and he decided to buy it
So the guy had it for 3 months and we gave him an extra week beyond the deadline that we gave him. so we pull into his yard and we have to wait another 3 hours befor its assembled. well it turns out that it isnt even done yet. well i can put up with that. we started it up and it never really run. well its cold....timings not wuite right...ect. and mind you we have about a 3 hour trip home again. and his "best paint job ever" wasn't even that hot. so we try to start it the next day, and we couldnt even turn the motor with a socket on the flywheel. when it did turn, it SQUEAKED
So he was goin to send up the old motor and pay for the rebuild ( damn right cause i stopped his check) well about three days after it was supposed to be there, still no motor.....grrrrrr....we told him as it sits, only worth about 9 grand, sure we gont a new tranny, but we dont even know if it works because WE DONT HAVE AN ENGINE!!!! well he began to .... and moan about that he had more than that in the car. so we told him then we'll return the car and he can give us our money back. well he didnt have the money so.... WE WIN!!!
now he has no involvement in the car and its in good hands, and like you said FallujahMedic it gave me that warm and fuzzing feeling inside. now its on its way to running free like any pony should be able to.
