LOL! Wow! If his wife seriously thinks peeling out on a small gravel-patch driveway is gonna put that big of dents and scatches in a car door then my car would be fucked! :-P

I wanna hear more from Jeremy. The sides are too biased right now.

and i want both sides of the story to be heard. i have to keep telling myself i'm doing the rational thing.

and i didn't peel out. i drove away spiritedly, because he had told me to. there was no burning rubber. yes, gravel got kicked up. that's doesn't put vertical scratches and a penny sized dent in my door near the handle though.

and my girlfriend did indeed tell me at the time she may have misunderstood his wife, but wasn't sure at the time. when i toled jeremy about it on the phone, all he said was she was PMSing and he wont even go talk to her right now. :lol:

All i want:
-New bell housing
-New oil pan
-Anything that has the mounts broken off replaced
-New covers for my computer plugs
-The damn clunking looked into


Shit that was broken. I want it fixed. Simple as that. On another note though, seems the clutch does indeed work. Feels a bit weird, but, it's not stock and i haven't driven the car in a month and a half.

Well...

1). It's great you've got your car back. As you said, it was almost to the point that you missed it.

2). SHITTY the way they ran the shop, lack of care (they forgot how powerful word of mouth is), and extra crap they broke on the car.

3). You've now got to go out of your way to hire someone to make sure you're car gets back to where it should be. It's a little more money on your part, but waaay cheaper than paying to fix everything they busted.

4). ??? Drive me your 1gn, and I'll buy the Cobalt while you're here.

The one thing that I don't get, Josh, is that Jeremy is saying HE called you in all of his replies...I'M NOT SAYING I DON'T BELIEVE YOU. I just don't understand that part. Another lie from him?

As long as there is some sort of audio device in there, and at least 2 speakers, I'm cool with it.

And I wish so much that I was being 100% serious. I could probably get my mom in for a co-sign and legitimately buy your cars, but IDK how I'd be able keep up payments after a few months. Either way....I still want your 1gn for mah daily.

I'd love to help you out so you could get your Scion. Ha, I want one too!

Until I can make a legit offer on your stuff, I wish you luck with it while you have it :rofl: I really wish I could swing it. I'd be up there next weekend.

Me too! You're car isn't exactly starting over, BUT it is getting me off the Neon platform for a bit and it's totally new for me. New to me = not a lot of knowledge = no mods for me. Which is good.

So you guys can believe me on the condition of my car. Anyone wanting to come look at it themselves is glad to come on over. First few pictures are me trying to get a shot of the penny sized dent from when he hit my door against the pole. My girlfriend was there and will testify that she saw it happen.

Body:

Engine:

Image
(not much is ran properly)

Image
(after switching the computer around, this plug was hidden under the CAI. I pull it out and see it's completely missing)

Image
(bottom plug is broken in half, hard to see)

Image
(missing bolt)

Image
(this is loose. it should not be loose)

Image
(my injector wire doesn't just sit there… it routes a certain way)

Image
Image
(should be attached to the fire wall so it doesn't hit the header… it's not attached)

Image
(should be attached behind the fuse box)

Image
(obviously not even attached right)

On top of all of this, my AEM wire needs re-ran because it was kinked and broken on the inside, the interior smells BADLY of gasoline, and my driver side strut is making clunking noises. Obviously I can't hoist the car up and look at the oil pan or transmission, but from what I hear from anonymous sources, it's pretty bad.

Bonus dog bite, just for proof:

Wow, after that I'd be beating ass.

But the outcome after the court date will be much sweeter than an ass beating.

It's an open log in. The password was given out a few pages ago so anyone could go view the thread.

Although there wasn't SUPPOSED to be any posting. :lol:

Oh, and I'll say this as well, Every page from the day my clutch burnt out to current will be printed out as well for the lawyers. Nothing you guys have to worry about, but I just wanted to state it openly.
