Haha well thats a little different

+1

Good deal, I had over 50hrs in the car and paid my brother in law $100 for helping me. So as of right now I made less then $10 an hr working on the car. I even told him that most shops charge 85+ an hr and he thought I was joking

This!!!! I don't own a "legit" shop, I have a shop that I store/work on my car in and do side work here and there.

No I don't have that, I put all the papers and stuff in the car when it left. As I mentioned this was a guy whom was considered a family friend up until this mess. I do have about 6 witnesses, a copy of the canceled check, the voicemail of them threatening to cancel it on me

Yeah I am suing for the canceled check, I was nice enough not to hit him with any intrest fees or any of that shit. I just want the rest of my money. He in return has sued me for $1100 for "unsatisfactory/incomplete work". I hate having to deal with the court system so just a little nervous I would say about how this all works

Yeah that part is the same, the being sued part is not...

I just got papers in the mail that I am being sued $1100 as a counter claim. I did work on a family "friends" VW. Guy gave me money to go buy a motor and parts for the car. The cost of repairs was $800 plus cost of parts, he agreed to this. I get everything done which included minor body work, paint, some interior cleaning up and the engine swap. Pays me $500 in cash and writes a check post dated 10 days out for the remaining balance (tosses in extra $50 for me allowing this to happen). The car broke a brake line while the guy was attempting to leave my shop with it and got pissy that I was unable to fix it along with all the others. I don't have a lift and I explained to him that I was unable to get the car high enough to repair all the brake lines. He calms down and says ok,no problem he will get his trailer and take the car to another shop to have that and the exhaust work done. Comes back the next day to pick car up, me and Steve (ef8sirjunkie) help him push the car up on the trailer and we think all is well. Fast forward to a few days later while I am in Texas, I get a phone call from him saying that the motor blew up and he is wanting $500 back. I explain to him that 1. There is a 30 day warranty on the engine from the junkyard and the reciept for it is in his glove box. 2. I am not warrantying a junkyard motor. 3. I am not giving him back $500 bucks 4. I would reinstall another motor for half the cost of what I originall charged him as I felt bad that the motor was no good. We go back and forth over this for a while until he again calms down and ends the conversation with a "ok, we'll discuss it further when you get back in town". That monday I get vm saying they are canceling the check on me, sure enough they do so. I get back home from vacation and filed paper work to get the money back via small claims. I have never been sued so not sure what sort of chance I have of losing and wrongfully being out $1100. As I said I didnt offer any sort of warranty on the engine. He paid for the engine, gave me the ok to go pick it up. No paper work was ever done as we considered him a friend at the time. He kept $350 of what he owed me to begin with. The real deal here is dude bought a car thinking he could flip it for a quick buck only to realize he was in over his head money wise and had just purchased himself a new car. Paid $800 for car $400 in parts $800 in labor Still needs all new brake lines, rotors and exhaust Pay to have another motor in Sell for less then invested Rip people off Profit

Anyone watching the draft? As a Browns fan I am pissed with the selections. First we took an over rated running back who will run behind a terrible line. Then they select a 28 year old QB who is the 2nd coming of Chris Weinke.... I would've much rather they would've dropped down, taken Floyd from ND and then picked up a RB and QB in the later rounds

Thanks for the help fellas

Players like that are not the type of kids I would want on my team as a player or a coach. Playing mind games during recruitment is absolutely retarded, I understand its a big life decision but cmon. I read that we're trying to get back on McNeils good side, we'll just have to wait and see what happens there as you said.

I am wanting to pick up a go pro to get some good racing footage with this year and don't know a whole lot about them. So teach me what you know please. Such as which one is a decent one, is there 1 better then the other, what accessories are a must to have?

Heuerman has commited to ND according to several sites.... I figured he would end up there just like Jaylon Smith. As I said in previous post ND always lands top recruits that leave you wonder why the hell they chose them. So what was Nevadas prediction on this or did he flip flop?

Yeah the rear is coming up, I raised it last year but I dont think it went up enough. I have videos of the passes and the rear just squats on every shift. Part of the learning curve with this car haha

Thanks man! We got a chance to finally look over the logs last night and let me just say this pass would've been so much faster haha. On the 1-2 shift we lost 4-5k rpms and 13lbs of boost...I knew something was up with the car as it just fell on its face on that shift. We are gonna do some test and tuning at Pacemakers with the tire pressure, boost by gear and suspension to get it dialed in. I want 10s!!!

Wow thats suprising!!

Ah so we are Alabama now haha. You just force the ones that havent panned out yet through the door and onto the streets. Thats a very typical SEC antic, which is quite funny considering Urban said he hated the SEC recruiting tactics. I generally don't listen to the "insiders" as you can't really predict what a 17 year old kid is going to do. Hell half the kids we have "commited" could flip between now and Feburary haha. I honestly think Heuerman and Jaylon Smith both go to ND, strange since both their brothers are here at OSU. Guess blood isn't thicker then water...

Apparently they want to take 2 qb's in this class... class is filling up pretty quick with limited spots and several key recruits left on the board, wonder how this will work out haha

Got any more by chance?

Haha yeah it was absolutely miserable, the funny thing is Cliff (guy in charge of IFO) posted up on FB today that the fan turnout was up 23% from last year lol

Ha I didn't plan on 50 degree temps while we was standing in the 70 degree weather.

Yeah man the left lane was terrible!! My car ran consistant all day. I have (2) 13.3 passes, (2) 12.5 passes and (2) 11.6 passes lol

Haha I had issues with my 2step somehow lowering its self so I was in the pits tweaking it and had to hit it a few times. All of a sudden I hear all sorts of cars start doing it, I thought "great look what I started" haha

That is my car!! Thank you!!!

The Neal commit came out of nowhere just like the Baugh commit... I liked the pregame circle session, although I dont think i'd have my starting qb and backup qb going at it lol. I do appriciate the fact that they had a 3-1 passing to run ratio to get Braxton as much practice throwing as possible. Michael Thomas is going to be a player here at OSU. Hopefully he isn't another spring game hero that doesn't produce in regular season. Shazier is huge now, they said on tv that he claimed to have played last year right around 205lbs!
