CALLING OUT CHRIS...NOT THE MOD
 
Wow, I have never had to do this...I really dont know how to explain it...so here it goes...
it will probably be long, if you care you will read it. it not, i dont care, this is calling out 1 person who wont respond to my pm's, and give me a bunk phone number, and who stood me up after i drove 3 hours to meet him


Remeber this thread in the classifides...
https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/...4653#msg274653

Well, I talked to Chris. He said that he really wanted to sell the B17 swap, told me to make him an offer. I Lowballed him $200, he said sold, when do you want to meet. So we arranged to meet on this comming Saturday. On monday (the 13th) Chris PM'd me and asked me if I wanted to meet him half way earlier, because he was gonna help his friend move on Saturday.I didnt have a problem with that, so I asked him if the Mytrle Beach Bass Pro Shop would be ok to meet at. (it was about a 3 hour drive for both of us) He agreed that it would be perfect.
We agreed that we would meet between 7 and 730pm in the parking lot, out in front, where there were no other cars, under a light.I told him I would be in a '94 Red Isuzu trooper with Indiana tags on it. Alright, cool he says. So Wensday the 16th between 7 and 730 was the time frame we would meet.

Also, might I add, I asked for a picture of what I was getting, no picture. I asked him if I could call him, he give me 2 bogus phone numbers. I give him my work and my home phone numbers, my cell number, and my email address. We arranged everything through yahoo instant messenger, I felt no need to call him.(I didnt know the numbers were bogus at this time) He sounded like an honest man through yahoo IM, so I was comfortable. On tuesday I asked him again for pictures, and he said he had to load them to his computer, no problem, I would wait. Then it came to about 1100pm still no pictures, and I had to get up early in the morning, so I told him to email them to me. I never saw any pictures.

I pm'd a few people to get opinions on if the deal sounded good. A full B17 swap for $200 and an extra block, and crank.(which he said he was going to throw in) Chris give me 2 bogus numbers, i was feeling a little shakey about the deal at this point...peoples responses were they would go and they wouldnt go. Being the honest person I am, I went down there, (3 hour drive in my wifes vehicle) to meet. he never showed. I never recieved an email, no phone call, nothing. I have anwsering machines on all of the phones I have...

Chris, im not MAD yet. I am a very patient person, I am a little upset and annoyed I drove 3 hours for nothing, however....
Chris, things come up, I understand that, if something did come up, why couldn't you take 5 min and call me or at least, email me or PM me. I give you all of these ways to get in contact with me. Maybe you have a good excuse?

I was there, where were you?

also, i got there about 630, a little early, so I thought i would head inside and take a look around (half the reason i wanted to meet there) I was there when I said i would be. I stayed there till 830.

whats up chris. like i said, i would like to hear you out before i get mad. maybe you have a legit excuse?

Re:CALLING OUT CHRIS...NOT THE MOD
 
one more thing i forgot to add...i was gonna wait to see if you would contact me, i thought I would be fare, but you had ways to contact me all through-out the day, my wife was home with the phone all day (she was waiting on another call) and i was with my cell phone all day long. i also checked my email all throughout the day. no emails, so i thought, i would post, considering you still dont have the decentsey(sp) to call me...
you can still call me if you would like, collect if you need to, then i will call you back...

my number is above in the conversation that was auto-archived in yahoo IM. if its not there, its in the email i sent you and if you deleted that, its in the PM's I sent you. if you deleted those to, they are above...

Re:CALLING OUT CHRIS...NOT THE MOD
 
im vouching that he WAS hesitant and was trying to get ahold of the mods all night the day before he had to meet him, and was pretty pissed that he never responded, yah, i understad too that hes moving, but still, i thought you took cars when you move, so obviously you have down time when your in a car, couldnt you call???

heres the convo between him and i

lcplvest (6:50:22 PM): ok, well im suspssed to get this b17 tommorow...hes giving me a full B17 swap, an extra block, with internals, and an extra B17 crank for $200. im suspossed to meet this guy about 3 hours from where i live...

lcplvest (6:50:29 PM): now the part i need your opinion on

lcplvest (6:52:22 PM): he is very hesitant, never returns my pm's the first time i accually talked to him was last night over this, and he says he will meet me there tommorow at 7. but then i told him to send me pictures, he hasnt, i told him to call me and he says he cant call long distance on his phone, i told him to call collect and he says hes at his girls house, so he give me his cell number, i call it tonite, and its a jack phone number...

lcplvest (6:53:05 PM): now he says hes in the process of moving, so hes kinda busy alot, so he says. think i should make the trip down there?

lcplvest (6:53:17 PM): or wait to see if he shows up online tonite?

lcplvest (6:54:55 PM): what to do...

lcplvest (6:59:45 PM): well thats another thing. he made a thread saying he didnt know anything about the B17, he got the motor from a wrecked car for $50 and just needed to get rid of it. it wasnt in the classifides. so i pmd him and said, hey i will buy that motor from you, let me know how much. and he said he wanted 1500 for it. so i was like ok. thanks.

AsA (7:00:45 PM): oh

lcplvest (7:00:48 PM): then i kinda didnt say much else, then the other day he pms me and says i will sell everything to you real cheap let me know how much you wanna spend, so i was like hell...i will lowball the ---- out of him i told him $200 and he says you wanna meet half way in myrtle beach to pick it up. so thats where we stand...

AsA (7:01:03 PM): maybe its jacked

AsA (7:01:08 PM): thats why its cheap

lcplvest (7:01:22 PM): he says he drove the car it came out of...

if he doesnt come back, it will save others the headache, and the guy sounded legit over the internet. i guess i learned my lesson.

yes I do...chris coleman, and i would've met him at his house, but he was on his way to TN and it would've been less of a drive for me to meet him where we did. I'm glad I drove 3 hours instead of 6 to his house and then get stood up!

I was gonna do this, but just didnt. if he doesnt reply by tommorow evening i will call those numbers.

and also, he said he would meet me in a "00 tahoe with a lift, and he would have a trailer with the car that the motor came out of. cant miss it. i call it the beast"

i talked to 4 people in newer tahoes with GA plates on it while waiting. one tahoe with GA plates drove right next to me, like right next to me. Me and my wife both stared right at him. the tahoe didnt stop, but it wasnt lifted, and didnt have a car trailer on it, so i just let it pass by...

Re:CALLING OUT CHRIS...NOT THE MOD
 
its 640 am and still no response from him.

and hotrez, he pm'd me asking if $500 was to much to pay for the swap. then i replied, with I dont have $500 to spend right now, and he asked what I would give him, so I replied, $200 next weekend, and I will pick it up. He said that was cool he needed to get rid of it really bad. He was sick of it taking up room in his garage.

Believe me, i thought a $200 swap was alittle crazy to, but thats why i went down there to pick it up, i didnt wanna pass up the deal.

good luck frank, sorry u wasted 3hrs of ur life and gas.

I havent givin him any money yet. and im not calling him a scammer yet. if no responses by tonite, i would be safe to call him a scammer. i hope he still pulls through and gives me the deal, but for some reason, im not thinking thats gonna happen.

and yeah, the gas BILL is $27.oo and we spent $14.48 for dinner. I have a copy of the recipt for the gas, but not the dinner.

we will wait and see what happens.

and chris, if you see this, I am not doing anything at work, again, so you can call my cell phone. ohh and i will be home for lunch around 1145 till about 1240, if you would like to call there, then. We can talk about it on the phone, but you will still have to explain yourself to your family of HMT to try to re-gain your rep, I think.

and my wife called in sick, so I wouldn't make the trip myself,(how sweet of her) she makes $7.00 and hour, a 8 hour shift, after taxes thats around $40 of another loss

so all in all this trip cost me about:
$27.00 for gas- about 3/4 of a tank
$14.48 for dinner(no recipt to prove)
around $8 to buy ---- to prove i was there with reciepts.
around $6 in drinks on the way there/back (no recipts)
$40 because my wife took the day off work to go with me.
____
$95.48 that I spent. I figured it would've been worth it had i got the deal I was suspossed to get. -it wouldve been the cost of shipping everything...

it just takes time man, it took me almost a year and many beatings from the wife before i got my turbo kit finally together and installed. yeah, i mean 1k plus dollars straight out of the pocket is a nice chunk, but over a years time, it's basically nothing. you just have to spend a little money here and there before anything good can happen. i know since you're in the military and your wife works too, you have enough money. don't they pay for your housing too? and both your cars are paid off, you're just stingy with your money ;) i use to be the same way, i would rather see the money in the account keep going up instead of spending any, but then you don't have any fun ;)

wife pays most utilities


i still find a way to put money in to my car, it's just what i like to do, and even though it's not really a priority since i have a family, it's still important to me, so i find a way.

im still tryin to find that way. trust me, building/modifing cars is in my blood.


building cars is what I do to. I love it. its my life. its what I do. all of my family builds cars, my uncle has 4 national champion winged outlaw sprint car motors, my grandpa owend a shop for 36 years, my other uncle has a 8 sec 1/4 mile drag car(i have yet to see run for myself) my brother at home races circle track and his team is 2nd in points (they are 16 and 17 years old)

its all me man. its what i do. i just aint doing it right now and it sucks royal goat nuts. :'(
