Wow man.

So you can't get to work because of a bad back and can't scrape enough money together for a plumber... but have no problem doing a motor / interior swap in a driveway and buying cars and gas and parts and paying for tickets. Not to mention, you actually screw over the board owner by flipping a car he sold you at a loss?

Geez, you're a real dick...

You might want to rethink all the stupid shit you post, because next time you come around with a boo hoo story looking for help you're going to get shit on.

I hate asking for help but dont know what else to do any more... I have a very bad hernia and back. Just bending over pushes the hernia out and that sends my back into spasmns. I am also flat ass broke. I have the house and property up for sale for almost half its ACV. I also put my car up for sale to pay for a plumber but havent had any bites.

Internet hasnt been paid in two months. I am waiting for it, the phone and tv to be cut off... I dont even drive my car cause the insurance lapsed. (LOL -ed)
Sold all my toys to pay electricity and water bills.
Went to Salvation Army to get food.
Stopped taking my liver and back meds cause I cant afford them.
Cant work (mechanic) untill I can have the hernia fixed cause it cripples me.
Cant afford the Interfuron treatment Drs say I need to live past a few more years.

I wish I was working. Got layed off a little while back and the two towns near me are tiny and dying, nobody is hireing which is why I have the property up for sale so I can get surgery and open my own shop in Dallas or Waco.

...I have always been the type that if I cant afford it then I do without... I just swapped an Explorer radiator the other day to buy groceries and when the hernia poped out while lifting the rad, man I thought death would be a sweet release.

All of these posts were made 7/26 - one month and three days ago. Since that date, he has managed to buy several cars, fix them up, and flip them.

I knew this was the same dude as the leak, because I nearly drove out there with another member on here. A radiator swap hurt more than death, but heaving off that blower was no issue? This guy is a scam.

Didn't Dr Dave send him like $300

He actually reminds me of a "so-called" friend of mine.

When he's down its poor pitiful me, but when things are going his way its like fuck the world and everyone who helped him back on his feet.

And we're off...

I'm not saying he is a total scammer. I just think he has his priorities fucked up...


If the hernia isn't legit, he certainly keeps the act up.

And he said the same thing about the tranny acting up:

I"m sure the guy is legit, but he doesn't seem to have his priorities in order.

If I was looking for 'reliable' transportation it wouldn't be a 20 year old SHO or a DSM, it would be a 10 year old Honda or a newer Kia or something like that.

I understand what the guy is doing, and it's logical, IF he had a steady source of income and another car to drive, instead of being a mooch.

My $.02

Yep. I believe he's had some tough luck. But seeing him most makes me wonder how must is his own doing.

I noticed he was logged in on Stangnet @ 1700. But hasn't stopped by here to post anything.

In all fairness guys, I told him that I would take what I did for the car. I know I could have gotten more for the car if I held out and posted it on CL, but a couple things were in play... I really wanted it out of my driveway and felt that helping someone was worth the loss on the deal. It wasn't a big issue at the time.

I even gave him an extra blower I had lying around so he could make use of it if needed (although the coupler was on the way out). I really felt that I was helping someone in a worse situation than myself and that warm/fuzzy feeling really made me feel good about everything.

One other thing. He came up earlier the same day the motor blew up in the car. I made him a hell of a sweet deal at the time. I let him get several interior parts and the deck lid off my other parts car for what little money he had. I think it was a measly $20. I felt good bc I was going to scrap that car after I pulled the parts that I needed and the interior pieces and deck lid would have been crushed probably. Oh well, hind sight...

You should have kept it and done some spirited driving on the back roads of Arlington.

You did him right, and no one on this board is going to fault you for that.

I think the main issue is the guys lack of humility in the situation, and that he is aggressively driving his only means of transportation after bellyaching on the board about how he cannot work and needs help with some things.

I can understand needing to get out from under a car before SHTF, but to talk about it like you're a used car dealer that is wheeling and dealing is a little much.
