After the motor swap I discovered the trans was failing as well. I didnt want to take the 98 trans and install it for a few reasons. One being I was sick of working on the car. Second was the 98 trans was on its way out too. Cooked trans fluid and its diff was making noise and the axle would bind when turning in a parkinglot. I first thought I could recoupe some funds by selling parts off the 98 like the trans (had a thought that a fluid and filter change would make it better) but feel karma is a bitch and didnt want to screw anyone over so instead of selling the trans to a guy on here for $225 I let it go to the JY with the car for $200.

.

i was the guy that had asked about the trans, and you said it was ok, you never mentioned that it was going out, and i specifically asked if you were going to have a GOOD trans for sale from the parts car -
i guess thanks for not following through with fucking me over, although it looks like that's what you planned to do -
(quote from your pm -
Dunno price, wasnt planing on parting it. Trans has about 122k on it and works fine. Make an offer. Most of the work to remove it is already done but you guys would have to finish pulling it.
so, thanks again -

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.

The more I think about the people calling me a scammer the more ticked off I am getting.

I never solicited any funds from anyone here. A couple people offered help and I accepted. Couple people took some of their time to help me correct the water leak. forbes wouldnt accept any cash and is someone I would do whatever I could to help out if he needed it. Same with Kyle.
When the motor blew there were several people here that wanted to loan and give me some funds to correct it. I hope they come here to repeat what I told all of them. I could tell you I adamatly declined the offers but I am just a scammer so its best if they say something.
Seems if I was in fact a scammer I would have accepted that money too.


Comeon people! I was in a tough spot and some people helped. Got in another tough spot and took a $50 savings on a car from one member and declined monetary help from other members cause as a man and a human I felt I needed to correct it for myself.
I busted my ass as I could to repair the car and I get shit for that?
I now figure out my current best option to make a living is to try and flip a couple cars and I get shit for that?
Kyle gives me a $50 break on a car and I get shit for that?
I accept help from a friend to fix a water leak I couldnt get to and I get shit for that?

Now the people that loaned or gave money during the water leak issue I feel bad about. I feel bad cause I needed the help and people were giving up some hard earned money and that made me feel like shit cause at the time I needed to accept that help.
Those people will never be out with me. When I can actually not struggle to pay the monthly bills then I will give them back the funds (even the people that insisted they dont want it back) and also give them whatever mechanical help I can offer.



Just wish people would have all the facts before the went off half cocked.

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

Cant help you there. Home PC was off and I was on the road from about 11:30 till 2:00AM trying to find a car.

Well, you did have the red one on craigslist for $600, so I can see how Kyle would be a touch pissed off. Again though, Kyle could have gotten a whole lot more for that car had he put some effort into it, there was a price set that both parties agreed on. I don't see how it's anyone's business on what you did with the white one.

Yes, was on there for $600. I knew I could never get that but figured $400 maybe. I had the time to mess with people and/or part it. Kyle did not, he wanted it gone. After a few dozen emails offering $50-$125 I decided to accept a metal salvage guys offer of $200.

The tow and red GS put me out over $600 I didnt have and I tried to recoupe as much as I could. I am thankfull I made back about half of what I lost with that fiasco.

Where's this nigg'er at?

I am right here. Short drive down 31 from you. You are welcome to stop by for a beer and good laughes.

I was tempted to write something after reading about "spirited driving" after he was going on and on about having no money and selling his house and blah blah. Like, dude, you have wheels and no money, maybe you should save the spirited driving for when you have more disposable income?

Then to see him flip it after Kyle made him a great deal on the parts car

I cant argue with the stupidity of driving over the limit and quickly around corners without having the funds to fix something should my "spirited: driving cause an issue. Thats on me. I like to drive and sometimes do stupid stuff.
I agree, stupid.
Now I wasn't going WOT at all or going balls out in corners but by "spirited" driving I was going 10-15 over the limit and going around bends at 10 over. Wouldn't say that was pushing the car but doing the postged limites would have been safer.


I didnt flip the car to make money. I dumped it at a loss because I had spent every last cent to get it running and it still needed more. I lost out $350+ I didnt have to lose.

I agree...Help somone out and they take advantage......What a tool!!!11

Sorry you feel that way. I cant argue your feelings but I never scammed anyone on here.

Wow man.

You are close. The hernia has kept me from doing 8 hour days working in a shop. The tiny towns I am near that are not doing any hiring (have applied at everywhere from Walmart to McDonnalds and everywhere in between) is why I am not working full time.

The work on the car was done for a couple hours at a time untill I literally couldnt stand any more. Waited for the hernia to not poke out any more and went back to work on the car more as I could.

As for flipping cars.... what? I sold my Mark to pay bills and buy a cheap car. I bought the car and it blew up. I fixed the car (with some help from some great people on here) and it continued to fail so I sold it.

As for the plumber I make no excuses. I asked for a plumber that could do the work on credit till the car sold. I knew the leak was under the house but lacked the skills or body size to get under the house and locate the leak. Because of my situation some really cool people here went above and beyond to help me out. forbes was cool as hell and came out and we tackled the job.

When I can pay it forward you can bet your ass I will. I have told many on here if they need mechanical help I would do it for them. There are many people on here that bought great parts at a fraction of the cost I could normally sell the parts cause I am all about helping fellow car friends.

Yeah.

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.

Again, sold a Mark to pay bills and buy a cheap car. Cheap car broke. I fixed it and it was about to break more so I dumped it. How is that "several"?

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.

Yes, Explorer radiator swap really really sucked. And the motor swap was a big issue. Its a 10 hour job, it took me over a week cause I could only work as long as injuries would allow.

But yet he's looking at a 94 LT1 Firebird. If I was announcing publicly what horrible money shape I was in...I would be looking for Honda Civics, older Prelude's, maybe Accords, Camry's, Solara's...cars that got good gas mileage....but he's looking at Turbo DSM's, big Acura's, supercharged GTP's and Regals, LT1 F bodies?

The LT1 would have been an investment only. It was $1700 and needed a headliner and window regulator and dash pad. I could do all that for $200 and resell the car for $2600 or so. Never once did I state that I wanted to keep the LT1 should I have gotten it.

That being said I have been also looking for mid 90's Accords and Civics and Camrys but all I have seen have been quite the turd. Hondas under $2000 suck. SHO is seen as just a Tarus by many and sometimes a nice one can be had for under $2000. I mentioned the TL because it had a brand new motor. I mentioned the TSi cause I know the cars, they get great mileage and the ONLY one I was interested in was $1900 and uber clean. Unfortunatly it sold instantly cause it was 1/3 of what they normally go for. Again, good car to flip.



I was wanting to try to flip a couple cars to make money. Like a job. If I cant find a job then I need to do something legal to make cash and flipping a couple cars is a good way to make cash. Now I just need to get a car thats not as crappy as that GS was. It was never my intention to flip the GS but due to the breakdowns and money it had to go. After selling it at a loss I realized (cause I can think) that finding a car that I can flip would be the thing to do right now till I can sell the house, get surgery and start my shop. Hell, maybe I will become a car dealer.

I was afraid this was going to happen. When you were here picking up the donor car your buddy made a reference a couple of times to flipping one of the two cars. I lost my ass on that deal and was trying to help you out. Now I feel like I was taken advantage of as well.

It's cool though, at least I've got driveway space and don't have to squeeze my bike by two cars anymore!

Ok, thats a bit aggervating that you feel that way. I appreciate the help but some things cant be helped. You told me earlier that day I went to get parts that you would sell that Regal to ANYONE for $350. I was able to get $300 together and you accepted. If you feel burnt then I will gladly come up and pay you $50 more or PP you $50. I dont want any hard feelings here.

After the motor swap I discovered the trans was failing as well. I didnt want to take the 98 trans and install it for a few reasons. One being I was sick of working on the car. Second was the 98 trans was on its way out too. Cooked trans fluid and its diff was making noise and the axle would bind when turning in a parkinglot. I first thought I could recoupe some funds by selling parts off the 98 like the trans (had a thought that a fluid and filter change would make it better) but feel karma is a bitch and didnt want to screw anyone over so instead of selling the trans to a guy on here for $225 I let it go to the JY with the car for $200.

I DID NOT MAKE ANY MONEY ON THE SALE. I lost out over $350 on this car but knew it was time to cut my losses. Car needed more then I had to give so I dumped it.

So NOW I have to get an even cheaper car, fix it up a little and try to flip it just so I can get to where I was the day before the Regal blew up.



Again Kyle if you feel shorted for selling the car to me for $50 less then you would have sold it to someone else then I would like to correct that and send you $50.

Please let me know, you have my number.

I Felt the same way on it, but not my deal either.... btw to the original poster... whose blue mark VIII was in the back of all those craigslist pictures?

The blue Mark VIII in the background is my buddies 93. It needs a motor, brakes, radiator and gear selector. Car has had a rough life and since I have already installed two other motors in it I didnt wanna screw with that car any more.

Looking at $1800 cash money will make you go crazy....

[Grimpala]

Fair enough, but I still stand by what I said. If I'm going to monetarily help you with something you'd better be a damn good friend of someone I know pretty well, otherwise you'll get a "Sorry, I'm broke."

That's pretty much my stand on the issue too, I'll lend a hand to fix something, but giving shit away is not my style unless they are close.

[racrguy]

Just like cops, one bad apple doesn't make all of us horrible people.

What's hurting this guy the most is that we've all busted out our jump to conclusions mats and are jumping like short fat kids trying to get the cake off of the counter.
