Since Dr. Bill thinks he's discovered the smoking gun so cleverly, lets recap.

I nor Jessica ever asked for money. We also never asked for free parts.

All that was shared was pictures of the car, Jessica's personal story and the actual location of the car in Pasadena, CA (Strictly German).

IF, the 914 community wanted to help Jessica get her car back on the road, that's wonderful. But Dr. Bill, if you think for a minute you've saved the 914 community from a spooky mysterious single mother con-artist, than you haven't done your homework. In fact, I can almost guarantee, you're one of those prowling conspiracy theorists. You couldn't be more wrong. And it's a real pity, because if anybody deserves help, it would be her.

I'll try to contact Jay Leno and maybe even run a crowd funding campaign to get her dream car back. Kind of ironic isn't it Dr. Bill. I actually tried to get help from a 914 community.

Thanks so much 914world for all the fabulous support. You can thank Dr. Bill for saving the day!!!


Nick,
You never answered the question about why you haven't gone and retrieved the car from the shop. On Jan. 23rd, you stated you were going to get it in a week. Have you?
No one here on this forum will be able to help you work on the car if it sits in the shop in Pasadena, correct? Let's keep it the about the car. No one here needs a sob story to be willing to help. Heck, they helped me just because I asked. Why are you so hell-bent on slamming Strictly German? Do you think everyone on here will rally to the picket line and somehow help you "get back" at that establishment? That's a job for Angie's List. If you want it running, cut your losses, go get the damn thing and let some of these generous folks who have offered to fix it at their homes get to it. Otherwise, it's all just BS.

I'm calling BS based on the previous threads. Tell the truth and " the world" will help

OK,

Once again, the car is at Strictly German in Pasadena. Supposedly he wants $1,000 for installing a weber carb all after six months. So now, we have to figure whether to go to small claims court or pay this guy $1,000.

That is why the car is not at home. I do not have the money to pay for it, and Jessica is waiting for her tax return.

But honestly, I think this is becoming a nightmare and maybe it's not fair to ask anything from anybody in this forum.

Let's just say this project is DOA and leave it at that.

If anybody knows how to delete this thread please let me know. I made a huge mistake coming here in the first place.

Its becoming a nightmare. Not worth my time any longer.

Instead of Jay Leno, I would ask Bill Gates to help. He donates way more money than Leno.

So the car is still at the shop? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

You do realize that no one can help you until the car is out of the shop, yes?


This whole thread makes no damn sense ...

No need to do anything.

Sorry for all the confusion.

All talk, no follow thru. Can't help someone who won't allow himself to be helped.

I didn't get the part about having three kids and the only car you have is a 2 seat non runner. Aren't there old serviceable Accords/Civics out there by the hundreds you can buy for under $1500?

I could be wrong as I "skimmed" the thread, so forgive my assumptions if they were wrong. Sounds like somebody trying to help somebody who is hurting and that's always a good thing.

The car could prob be sold, dependent on chassis condition, as is with the funds applied towards a decent second generation legacy wagon. It would be the ideal car for a single mother with children. Perhaps enough $ would be left over to cover the insurance for the year. Dreams are just that, DREAMS. Sometimes one has to wake up to the realities of life. 1k is an odd number. Too even. I wonder if a storage lien is in place?

Now that it is over, I will chime in.

I believe I looked at this car about 2 - 3 years ago. Story seems the same. I drove to the house and looked at it ... it's a little rough. I left with the thought that it would be towed to my place so I would have access to my parts stash and I would fix it.

Nothing ever happened.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) So I guess the 'single mother' part was (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif) . Kinda makes the rest of it moot.

You're the one that told us your reputation with the community wasn't that great and people had negative things to say about you. SOOOOO, Jessica didn't trust her car with you. She had a bad feeling.

Pretty simple and straightforward.

Wow.... what an ass. The story seemed fishy from the beginning. Glad that the truth seems to have come out. Good work to all the detectives.

But, I am sure you got that wrong, and it is your loss as Ron is one of the best on this site.



But Nick your story is so full of holes and questionable facts that need to be cleared up, with a non defensive attitude.
Did you send the AVEO to the same shop? why send a chevy to a porsche mechanic? why lie about being married to jessica? and how can you survive being unemployed since 09?

Seems to me there were many opportunities for help with the car and parts.

I believe this is a fish for cash.

If the story had a shred of truth to it and there was an opportunity to have Slits fix the car, and you didn't take him up on it you eff'd up buddy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) I happen to be lucky to call Slits a friend. And you know you just passed on an offer from one of the most generous guys on this forum.
