Subject: Re: Vensday Chat 12.13.17 by vetteblondie on 2017/12/13 20:20:53 Matt? Are you serious? That micro ratchet is cute as a bug tho. I want a socket rack that has giant numbers. I want sockets that have giant numbers. Thought I had a truck bought finally. The dude that was supposed to be rebuilding me one finally brought it over to the house. BF told him "you know she helps out at a body shop two days a week so don't be surprised if she picks it over" Dude told him, "no problem, tell her I'll fix whatever she finds she's not happy with". I got out that night with a flashlight and looked the black tuxedo metallic paint over top to bottom along hood/fender/bumper line and none of it matched. Opened door and it used to be blue or green. Saw a run with a drop on the end the size of a pencil eraser. None of the body plugs were in, buff burns everywhere, the bed was jacked three inches on one side - or the cab - still trying to figure that out. It sets on there just one way on that model so there's a problem. Went in the house and drove it to work the next morning. I typed up a list of what I found. Body shop friend/boss asked me about it I showed him my list but told him to just look but do not tell me anything. He looked and asked had I looked at it in daylight. I told him no as it was late and then here we'd been busy. He said take a break and go look again. I went back and one front wheel stuck out farther and was more far forward than the other, I drove it again, hard pull to the left and it vibrated. I took it home and parked it. BF asked me if I wanted it, I gave him the list and told him to tell the guy to shove it up his a$$. He had even offered to sell me the thing for $15k which would include the frame pull and all the parts to fix with. I was to pay $19,500 done. In other words I was paying all that difference for crappy body work that a retarded monkey could do better. And this is a guy that my BF does mechanic work for often and this dude wears us out on holidays and last minute stuff and wakes us up early interrupts dinners, etc to have him work. And he sends crap like that over to sell us? I'm livid. I need a truck. And really needed it before the end of the year. BF as it turns out gave him my notes with the keys and the dude is pissed at me . Too funny. The shop owner across the street from him was in my office the other day asked did I buy the truck , I told him no. He said he was glad I didn't as he saw what was going on with it but it wasn't his place to get in the middle of it. He said that dude is gonna get somebody killed one of these days. I should have just bought the nekkid truck and built it at the shop I help out at and been done with it. |
