Trying to help a single mother who is being badly ripped off by "Strictly German" in Pasadena CA. They have had her car for over 6 months and nothing has been done. Her budget was $800 when she brought the car in.
What makes this a horrific story is that she is a single mother with three sons. First son suffers from severe Hemophilia A with spontaneous bleeding and is legally blind. Second son suffers from epilepsy with nocturnal seizures. Third son is ok. This car was their only mode of transportation and would have been used for groceries, etc.. They do not have a car and must take buses and walk. She is a brilliant sculptor and is barely making ends meet. The only wish she has is to have her 1975 Porsche 914 repaired and running. Her story is truly compelling, and deserves to be made into a film. I can't tell you how many times her Hemophiliac son has cheated death. Just incredible story. Her name is Jessica and her sons are Leonardo, Brian and Vance. They live in Arcadia, CA. If there is anybody in the 914 community that can help or offer some sort of lead to fix Jessica's car, please contact me. My name is Nick and I can be reached via email at: nigolusa@icloud.com, or my cell number (626) 979-4230. I am a family friend and have sacrificed so much for them. The 914 is a dream I cannot fulfill since I am unemployed. Thanks all for your help and resources. Attached image(s) |

Nick, I was the one who posted some of your previous links that Dr. Bill referenced. You need to understand that this community bends over backwards to help each other, especially a select few who seem to be the backbone to this site. You also have to understand that this forum, and others, have had their fare share of those looking to take advantage of the community.
For me I read this thread and saw numerous inconsistencies in your story, and one that stood out was the increasing budget. Another one that stood out was a lack of action on your part when several were offering to help. However, I was curious what history you have with your car and whether or not Jessica's car has been previously mentioned by you, therefore I did a quick search to get a better idea of the types of issues that might have been worked on in the past. 914 Teener did the same research in your May 22, 2014 post. The posts speak for themselves. It appears you inherited a '75 1.8 in '08 which is evidently now Jessica's and still plagued by issues that date back to when you obtained the car. It would appear this car is not her daily transportation, and being the father of three, I'm skeptical of a teener being used as sole family transportation. I'll let the left coast gang determine your legitimacy. As for this comment, "Since Dr. Bill thinks he's discovered the smoking gun so cleverly...", before you throw darts at specific members of this community, Dr. Bill in this case, at least get your facts straight as to where the research came from and confront the correct member. |
