He tries to bully because he has no case.
He's a drama queen because he has no case.
I've seen it many many many many times!
Maybe I'm a bit prejudice with seeing it so much in the past, but there's that old duck thing. And this dude sure was quacking!
I'm a bit prejudiced too because it's happened to me.
I had a Canadian client that wanted to do a quite extensive build on a 04 Ford Cobra. I told my partner I really didn't want to take on the project. All he could see was dollar signs. I had him nailed perfectly! He was one of these know it alls. Well if you know it all, why aren't you doing it yourself?
Now this guy trailered his car and all the parts from well deep in Maple Leaf Canuck land to the middle of the Arizona desert. This guy had been acquiring parts for quite a few years. Not a single part that he brought with him would work with his build!
I ate a bunch of hours working on the car, but there's only so far a deposit will go. Despite my better judgment, I did what he asked when he authorized me to sell his parts. I got the man good deals. But there's only so much you can get from used parts. And I didn't take any commissions. On active builds, my clients get very quick updates. On my ongoing builds, not necessarily active, they got monthly updates just to touch base. I kept telling this guy I need money to progress further in the build.
He disappears on me for a month with no contacts after multiple attempts from me. So his project goes into the dyno shop with the other inactives.
Next thing I know, i get a phone call from a well known very large performance forum. He tells me of this idiot's rant! With the Internet, you have to quash crap like this. If not, it becomes real.......... No matter what reality actually is.
For as much as I had bent over backwards for this piece of crap and for him to do this without any kind of notice , I wanted to beat that Canuck ass! This is also done it on several other forums that he was on and he actually registered in other forums and that was his first post there. I let it Stew in the forums for a few days to see what comes up and for me to calm down!
I made one post and said that this would be my only post on the topic. I laid it all out plainly and concisely................... I definitely wasn't high, so no rambling.
And that's when I informed the guy that I'm filing a mechanics lien for the $10,000 owed in for storage fees each day it is in my care.
It actually turned out to be a pretty positive experience, once the dust settled. Directly from that idiots rants on the forums, I think it was 6 or 7
quite extensive jobs then I got from people messaging me or calling me up..
In this why I'm a bit biased, but then again, there's that duck!
@Jean-O are you proud of yourself?
^^^^^^^^.......... Just look at what your live rosin Root Beer Float did!
edit........................ And I told this joker that we're not Parker Brothers, so no monopoly money..................... And what does he bring me ?
,... but we know just like stupid, some kinds of tired and busted can't be fixed-
