1975 Porsche 914, Single Mother's dream car Options

[nigolusa]

You're wrong, I haven't insulted everybody on this board. But the dim wits who are making wry comments about my intentions to help her get her 914 back on the road, well those people shouldn't comment at all.

Facts:
1. I am not married
2. I live in Las Vegas, NV
3. I came to Los Angeles because they were evicted from their Pasadena, CA home
4. I parted with $7,000 of my own cash to help them move and find a new home to rent. I personally moved 75% of their entire home and garage.
5. The Porsche 914 once is done, will be given to her son who turns 16 next year.

So basically I sacrificed my money, time blood sweat and tears to make sure they are safe.

SOOOOOO, not to insult anyone and GOD HELP ME, I'm shutting my mouth and have it duct taped along with my fingers and arms.

I don't want to say something I will regret.

All I want is to help them, and I'll be on my marry way back home.

Again, if you know of an EXCELLENT MECHANIC, you can call Jessica directly.

Thanks so much for all your support.

You posted on this board in 2009 looking for help for the 75 YOU had recently purchased. A google search shows that you and Jessica have the same last name and are the same age. Maybe the info on the internet is false? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

But based on that google search this is not the first time that Jessica has had problems with a mechanic fixing your her car. Did Jay Leno ever answer your letter about needing help fixing your 2004 Aveo?
[/s]

NEVER got any answer from Mr. Leno about the Aveo or the 914.

In fact, the guy at Strictly German back in 2014 asked me "What's wrong with your Aveo"? I told him it's dying. He exclaimed, "Well why didn't you come to me". SOOO, he promised to fix it. It sat for a month and was never done. I had no choice but to salvage it. And oh, by the way, the 914 was still in his garage.

SOOO, I wrote a letter thinking that maybe Mr. Leno could help me get the Aveo back on the road. You see, Jessica doesn't drive. So I've been a part time chauffeur when I'm in California. I didn't have $3,000 to replace the engine on the Aveo back then.

Any other questions Mr. Holmes?

[nigolusa]

If anybody is familiar with the show "Wheeler Dealers" on Speed Channel, you've seen Ed China at work. In fact there was a show in which he diagnosed a 914 with cooling problems related to the flaps underneath the car and other issues.

If anybody knows of a mechanic with that kind of charm, brilliance, modesty and encyclopedic knowledge of automobile mechanics, please let me know.

We are actually looking for THAT caliber of professionalism in a mechanic.

OH and by the way, I seriously doubt Ed China would charge $120 per hour. He'd probably be fair, honest and diagnose only what's needed. He's that kind of classy guy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

I pray there is somebody of that caliber in California. If there is, Jessica would be more than happy to part with $3,000 of her tax return to get the car fixed by a REAL PRO!!!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

I knew it wasn't over.

Even though you have insulted everyone on this board, I am still willing to help. The kids are more important to me than you or Jessica. They deserve a good chance at life ... you've already shot yours.

And the caliber of person you are looking for readily exists in 99.99% of the non-members of this board. You're to fucking blind to see it.

Thanks Ron, but you don't know Jessica. She's a gladiator and fought 1000 battles. Her son was clinically dead in Argentina 25 years ago. She summoned the doctors back to the operating room and didn't let him parish.

I'm not making any judgments about you, but trust me, you DON"T KNOW HER until you walked in her shoes!!!! You really have no idea who you're dealing with. So that statement you made about her, is COMPLETELY OUT OF LINE!!!! Note: Think before you strike the match. It's easy to type on the computer in the privacy of your own home. But face to face, there is where the reality stands!!!

[DBCooper]

Wait a minute, Jessica doesn't drive? Dude you need to quit when you're ahead, everything you say just makes it worse. And worse.

Gentlemen, this is beyond absurd. I think we're being punked.

[malcolm2]

Now the DREAM car is going to go to the kid? Isn't that a new twist?

So are you referring to me as Sherlock or John ? BTW, your other posts about the Aveo and the Porsche mechanic that promised to fix it were from 2012, not 2014.

It's about time the admin's stepped in ....

Yes my Aveo died in 2014. Correct. So what?

[nigolusa]

OK so Leonardo wanted to share with 914world some of his talents.

Here is the YouTube link.

He's an incredible young man and a real hero!!!

If you still expect help from someone on this board who hasn't read through all of this thread to see the truth, then you may want to stop with the off-handed threats.

[ThePaintedMan]

You still didn't address the fact that there's a website using our same username talking about the same "Jessica" who you've stated was a single mom... however on that website "nigolusa" claims she is married.

You basically called our friend Ron a liar when he tried to help you several years ago.

Your story changes each time you have posted here over the past few years and now you're even taking on a threatening tone.

Three strikes you're out in my book bud.

But if you're still somehow serious and can actually come up with the money, why not ship your car to a KNOWLEDGEABLE mechanic, like you've been requesting... McMark at Original Customs in Sonoma, CA is only 6 hours away. If you had done that to begin with the car would have been on the road by now. And not for $3000 likely.

Then again, I'm not sure I'd wish that on Mark.

YESSSS, so much drama for something so simple.

Damn, imagine if I was secretly a meth manufacturer disguised as a 914 enthusiast who is looking for an honest mechanic to work on his car.

So, in the first episode, I enlist a large community of 914 owners to ship these "so called" 914 parts all over the USA> Little do they know, they are actually transporting illegal drugs.

Of course the star of the show would be the actual 914 car itself. AND, after breaking all cable network records, the value of 914s would've skyrocketed.

Hmmmmm not a bad idea. Anybody know how to write a script??

Wow now that's a solution. Bravo and thanks!!!!

sociopath

A person with antisocial personality disorder. Probably the most widely recognized personality disorder. A sociopath is often well liked because of their charm and high charisma, but they do not usually care about other people. They think mainly of themselves and often blame others for the things that they do. They have a complete disregard for rules and lie constantly. They seldom feel guilt or learn from punishments. Though some sociopaths have become murders, most reveal their sociopathy through less deadly and sensational means.

[SLITS]

On second thought ... deleted

I'm done

[Millerwelds]

Well I think I'll part with $1,500 of my own money and send it round trip to AutoAtlanta. At least I'll know 150% it will get done right.

IF you have the $1500 to get it to AA then use it first and foremost to get the car back from the “pig” that currently has it.

date='Dec 21 2012, 4:17 PM from http://www.freecharitycars.org/user/nigolusa/story
We have a 2004 Chevrolet Aveo, which is our sole mode of transportation.
We are making it, but just. Recently, a local Porsche mechanic here in Pasadena promised to help us fix the Aveo at a reduced cost, but at the last minute insultingly abandoned us.

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.

Wait…What? Aveo goes bad in 2012?

In fact, the guy at Strictly German back in 2014 asked me "What's wrong with your Aveo"? I told him it's dying. He exclaimed, "Well why didn't you come to me". SOOO, he promised to fix it. It sat for a month and was never done. I had no choice but to salvage it. And oh, by the way, the 914 was still in his garage.
Any other questions Mr. Holmes?

Yeah Mr. Holmes has more questions. How did you have your Aveo in the bad Porsche shop in 2012 (funny place for an Aveo by the way) and salvage it then only to have the same bad Porsche shop in 2014 have it again for a month doing nothing? More importantly how was the 914 there when you dropped the Aveo off in 2012 if he has only had it for 6+ months. Was it a different bad Porsche mechanic? No that can’t be because you use the same story and the same issues with the cars and even the same timeframes for the lack of repairs and the same shop has the 914 and…….I am getting confused in the cloud of BS…..forgive me. My bad.

When my Chevy Aveo was on it's last leg, he volunteered to fix the car for labor cost only. One month later, nothing happened. I was walking and taking buses with Leonardo everywhere. I ended up salvaging the car.

So the “SOB” completely screwed you over with the Aveo to the point you had to salvage it. And then it occurred to you to have him complete the same quality work on the prized possession 914. Interesting train of thought…. Oh wait. Again I am a bit lost. I forget now was the 914 there back in 2012 also? Too many inaccuracies in the story to follow any accurate timeline.

That's pretty much where we are at. Have to go see if in fact the car runs, because when I asked, he seemed wishy washy about the state of its drivability.

Will find out this weekend on Saturday.

I'm just fed up. I've been there numerous times and it's always the same, i'll get it done, etc.. etc... I'm really fed up.

Again history repeats itself. Bad service on the Aveo, same bad service on the 914, you’re fed up. If you actually go look at it on Saturday go with the $1000 in your pocket and a trailer to get it the f*ck out of there so when you ask people for help, and they offer it up, they can actually help you. Until then you are just treading water. Take some pics of it for the fans here as well. I personally would love to see the carb install that was done.

Yes I am going to take it from "Strictly German" next week. Will let you know. Leave me your email address And I will keep you all posted.

I mean after all it has been 3 weeks since you said you were going to pick it up and yet it is still there…..

OK first gotta get car out. Thanks for all of the help. Will keep everybody posted.

EXACTLY. You even said it yourself. Let us know when that actually happens.

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.

Or do you not have the $1000 as you state here. That would make sense why you have not picked it up.

Well I think I'll part with $1,500 of my own money and send it round trip to AutoAtlanta.

…Oh wait now you do have the $1500? That was a good 17 hours for you.

If anybody knows of a mechanic with that kind of charm, brilliance, modesty and encyclopedic knowledge of automobile mechanics, please let me know.

We are actually looking for THAT caliber of professionalism in a mechanic.

I pray there is somebody of that caliber in California.

There is. He goes by Slits. He matches all of the required personality and professional traits you mention. Well maybe not the charm…… But hey, all but one is not bad right?

The Sleuths have spoken!!!

Prizes will be awarded accordingly.

Ooohhh Ooohhhh What did I win? What did I win? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)


And the truly tragic part is this guy has been a member here since 2008 with over 100 posts. There is likely a lot of love and passion for these little cars. In fact if you look at his twitter account and Google+ you can see a great passion for cars in general. In fact with enough sleuthing you can find a fair amount of truth in some of the story. Jessica for example https://cip.memberclicks.net/index.php?opti...userid=19142006

These members have done amazing things for people in the past. Often for free. They would have done the same for you. Until you got in your own way, again, and again, and again.

[76-914]

IBTL & ILBT. Now that Mr. Personality has worn out his welcome here, has anyone suggested 914club.com (which George of AA runs)? Or better yet, there is an obscure little 914 board with some very tolerant folks at clubnarp.com also. After reading your threatening post to Ron I'm sure this thing will be locked down shortly. Did anyone have the good manners to invite out friend to the G&R gathering this spring? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
