I have 3 cars in different shops and every one is in an abyss--- a black hole of promises unfulfilled ( dramatic enough (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) ) . So I am now officially on suicide watch. There is no one who commits to s_____ anymore...
The track car is now at 3 months waiting for the carburetor Nazi ( you know who I mean) to ship the big ones that he demands the money for when you place the order. Another project for body work that would "take a week" ...Waited about 5 months to get in and now at 2 more without progress. Last car was simple engine bay paint that I mistakenly added a fender to improve ..."but don't even attempt unless you get perfect match" "Call me when you get back from vacation I should be done" ( week and a half) one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ... I got back to ..."I'm leaving town for 1/2 week"...then this week ..."oh I missed the color" ) then " have to go in for outpatient surgery "......but I'l be back Monday ..........( yeah but wont be able to lift a gun to paint dumb ass) Do I sound F-ing bitter ...No I' m on suicide watch I can't be bitter ...And my guess is we all get the same shit ! And we F ---ing tolerate it ..>Seriously we are pinheads and I am Prez of the club (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Don't worry I am obviously too stupid to pull the trigger and there are no cars in the garage to take a midnight cruise to nowhere in. |

This is why I drove my rust bucket for 6 years before taking it in to get the floor jack points and longs fixed- and when I finally did it was in at end of May and I took it home last weekend- 2 &1/2 months -
So don't they want to get paid?? I mean if I had a patient come it and it took me 6 months to make a diagnosis and I didn't get paid until I did I would not be able to pay my bills- no wonder so many places go under! Do you pay before the work before its done and then it sits? Most shops here have a lot of turn over - I just don't see how they stay in business if you don't do the work- I'm in South Carolina too- I took the car to Connecticut to get done this summer- if you need mechanic work bring it down to Beaufort and have Bob Woodman work on it he will get it running and it won't sit for ever. Ask Billh1963 how long it took George over ther to rebuild his / 6! They charge but it gets done and on to the next project. Don't leave your car where it's not getting done! Yes I'd say you are to blame for your problem, somewhat at least. So get your cars and take them where it will get it done and done right! Contact me or bill if you want info on local shoots in the state that will do the work - not let it sit for 6 months. N But it won't be cheap- you do get what you pay for .....
