On Sabbatical Augusta, GA (85 383 stroker) 3213 Posts Member since: 2006/7/6 0:00	Let me warn you that this is NOT for the fant of heart nor for people who dont like to read. The following site follows the story of a guy I know from another forum. He has given me permission to post the link here but has asked to keep the bashing to yourself. His story is now getting some MAJOR attention and though his thread only started a few weeks ago it already has 10,000 hits!! Anyway, here is his story. General Lee

The guy dumped 55K into the car in body work and such at this shop....hell, that would build me a new car from rust!

Not sure on all the exact details on how much but it sure is a start. I hope he takes it. The local auhorities and the IRS will likely have their way with BK, at some point regardless. 20K sounds like a nice number in my opinion. Lets see how much they will pony up.

The big thing with that thread is the attention they are getting with it and they want to make sure no mis-information is getting put out. I can understand that. JB is going to have a awsome car once its done and it will be done right. Just sucks that he had to go through all of this.

Screw that, I'd rather drive their name into the ground then take that kind of $$.. It's not worth it. BTW, I really like this forum software, the place looks GREAT!!!!!!!
