I think I remember a post of how happy you were cause it was finally running.. So maybe you were just over joyed with the fact it was finally drivable..
And just an F.Y.I.
Two years ago this site (T.R.) and Mafia partnered with a TV show called Racers, I paid them (Racers) just over 3K in a six month time frame to be able to sponsor the show and be able to get the shop on TV. For some reason the TV show never happened and the little cork sucker ( Patrick J. Schaefer) took off with my money.
Not much I could do but wash my hands and go back to work..
No Shaun, you are pretty much spot on with my car sitting for 2 years. My dream was my nightmare.... I am pretty sure that is what bugs me the most. Tony and Jim have both bent over backward to help me in the past and they have been good guys. I hate to see them loose that passion as well.
The only difference in my story, is $hawn stuck by me. He spent many, many days and nights, doing everything he could to find the issue. (A good part of that two years was me not listening to him
) However, I always had Shawn to talk to, so I still felt I had help. Did I get frustrated... Yes. Did it kill my passion for cars, yes, for a long time. But did I know that I was lied to by that 'all knowing' shop, no. It wasn't until it was done, that I actually knew what happened... If I had went by that shop every day and seen my car sitting in the same spot... If I had known that parts had not been changed as I was told... then yes, I am pretty sure I would have posted. However, by the time it was running.... I was over joyed!!!!! Very much so...
I am sorry to hear about Patrick J. Schaefer. Is he local?
