Hi Dave Davidson, my name is Jeff Bowlsby and I like 914s. It is the name my parents gave me, you can Google my name and you will find out a lot about me. I use my real name here and everywhere because I am a transparent person, have always tried to do right by people and have nothing to hide. Enough 914 owners here know me, know my passion for the 914, have broken bread with me and will speak to my character and integrity, and I have no worries.
The visors I offered you Dave Davidson are genuine, the real deal, good luck finding another set this nice at any price. You, Dave Davidson show up here a few days ago as a Lurker with 0 posts looking for parts. That only means you are new here and have never ventured outside the Classifieds. Welcome the 914world Dave Davidson, we would love to see your car, meet you in person and get to know you better. We want you to participate here and join in the 914 fun. Really. Honestly. No worries to this point.
I float the idea of exchanging my visors and $ for the core engine that you, Dave Davidson, also advertised. You Dave Davidson, send me a PM and mention “…my name is Rick McCarthy
Dave D is my stage name.” Dave Davidson does not exist! Game changer for me.
In America, we can choose who and who not, and under what circumstances to do business. I simply choose not to do business with you Dave Davidson, because you do not exist. We had no deal, no agreement of any kind, no handshake, no funds were promised or exchanged, and no harm was done. I have never met you, and don’t know you. I am not mad at you, it just didn’t work out this time because you were not who you said you were. All of a sudden the Dave Davidson I have been communicating with, simply vaporized. Now I am not going to give my hard earned cash or unobtanium 914 parts to vapor-man. Who is this other guy Rick? Does he really live in Davenport, or is that fake too? What about this engine, is it a real 2.0L 914 engine or is it a bus engine, or a 1.7L bored out or??? All of a sudden nothing about Dave Davidson, or Rick or whoever you really might be or say or has to offer can be trusted. That’s why I respectfully decline to do business with the ‘stage name’ I knew as Dave Davidson.
I suggest that Dave Davidson not post here anymore. How can someone who does not exist post anything anyways?
Going forward, Rick McCarthy, on the leap of faith that Rick McCarthy is your real name, open a new account here using your real name and participate in the garage forum and join us in local 914 events. Let us get to know the real you and see your 914 and interact with you. Then you can start building confidence with us and selling us parts. We want you to participate here and join in the 914 fun. Really. Honestly. Just trust us by using your real name, which only benefits you more by letting us build trust in you. Using a fake screen name does nothing to foster trusting relationships. 914 people have always been more important than these cars.
Peace.
