An Apology from Nick Chapman...

[Sean88gt]

Glad to hear you're getting things square Nick. Now, can we see the nudes of Ash?

[Whiteboy]

No reason to out them in public. Will just create more drama, which is probably not something that is needed for him at this particular moment.

Many reason to out them. Drama is always needed on this site.

I don't know you, Nick, but keep your head up and focus on the important things in life (God, family, and friends). Everything else is noise.

Says the guy who takes everything too goddamn seriously.

I don't know, you sound pretty serious right now. Besides what makes you think I get so fueled by this place? Because I get stuck in disputes just like every other donkey on here? This place doesn't even flinch my serious meter.

Fourth, There were(and still are) several members here that owed me money for detailing(around $6k total between all of them), and they were refusing to return any calls or any types of contact. Some of those have been resolved, but there’s still about $4k left unpaid, and it doesn’t look like they are going to pay now.



WHO?

[Geor!]

Just asking a general question that was bound to be asked. Besides I wasn't really looking for a callout. If the guy is going through money problems those people should probably not be sorry bastards and pay up.. Thanks for mediating though, Dr. Phil.

Keep on fighting, and stay focused Nick, you will get through this.

Nick, there were several of people (including myself) that suggested you blow off the offending comments that were being made because they didn't hold any real merit to begin with. Some people on here exploit the insecurity of others to fuel their own inherent pathetic need to have a laugh at your expense. Or to simply try maintaining the momentum of the drama thread of the day. You made a very responsible and prudent choice to seek professional help, being that you were contemplating suicide. Sounds like you've had some tough breaks. Pick your ass up and keep moving forward. Have pride in yourself. As for board members still being in arrears for the kind of coin you mentioned, that's pretty damn shady.

I'm not sure how Nick does things but I ALWAYS get payment before handing keys over.

I have a few friends I allow to pay me when they get the funds but they always come through. Those are only a few though and it's rare.

Yeah, especially with a complete stranger or generally people you don't know (especially from this board) - I'd not feel the least bit insulted by expecting payment. I'd fight up front FULL payment, cause I'd want to be sure of good quality work and be given a chance to point out things - but past that, it's just business.

[Wicked98Snake]

Glad to hear things are looking up for you, just try and stay positive and the rest will work itself out.

[BadCompanyVPWS6]

Man, I don't know why you detailers do work without at least some way to collect or some money up front. That many people screwing him out of money is insane.

Of course, I'd never hire someone to do work that I did not have the money to pay when they are finished. That's just jacked up. .... "Hey man, I'm too lazy to work 8-12 hours at least, to get my car looking great. Can you do it and I'll just screw you when you're done." Who the fuck does that?

Women are nuts (trust me...I am one!)

Don't stress the rest Nick. Take it easy...keep your head up and don't do anything foolish! It really isn't worth it!

[BadCompanyVPWS6]

Keep your head up, Nick.

You're awesome at what you do and never lose sight of that. If anything, take a break even if you have to turn people away or reschedule. I have to do that all the time between a full time job, detailing after/weekends, softball twice a week and sometimes tournaments it's just down right exhausting/mind bending.

You have other options other than using a pistol and truly believe in that. I've extended the offer before and will continue to do so. You need someone to hang out with, talk to, help out...whatever. Give me a call, seriously. You have too much talent and you're a good dude to let that go to waste.

Stay up, brother.
