Your right one of the two phone numbers I gave you has a feature where you can screen calls. However, when the person talks it records the message on the phone itself as a memo. There were no messages from you on the phone.
And that's what happened today too? Did you not get my phone message today either? How about all those calls from the Shipping Company that you said you never got? How about all the phone calls I left those same days when the shipping company was calling you that you said you never got? What about all those calls too? Did they never exist? Are you going to say that THEY never called you either? Or was it just some goofy thing with your service? Was TODAY another goofy thing with your service?
And here is the deal with phone calls, I haven’t called you since I received the car because of how unhappy I was with it. I decided that any further contact would be via email/PMs because then everything is documented.
So you can understand how I was under the impression that everything was just fine. Documentation is a good thing here.
This -
ron@tri9chevys.com - is the email I've been using to get ahold of you and haven't ever had any trouble. The last email I got from you came from that address as well. So what's the new address so I can send it to the "proper" address?
That email hasn’t worked for over a month, as stated before I emailed you from my new address and PM’d it to you via the forum also. My new email address is
rls@sutternet.com it’s also under my username by clicking on the email icon.
Funny... I have an email from you dated the 9th of this month from that address...
I hope you can see how I would think you gave it to me by your statement “I did through in a few extras though... like the rear tail panel and script (another $260 bucks) for isntance.” Guess this was an attempt to make yourself look good to the forum.
No, I cannot see that as you and spoke and agreed, several days before they arrived, that I would LEAVE the script panel on the car for an extra $200 or could take it OFF the car. Your Choice. Why in God's name would I leave $200 worth of extra parts on the car?
The extra parts were the fun stuff like the Ferrari CD Holder I left in the seat. The Ferrari License Plate. The Ferrari Valve stem caps. I'm glad to hear they were appreciated.
No one ever told me the worst thing you can do is polish over fresh paint. Besides according to pictures the car was done being painted around the end of May beginning of June. The car didn’t leave your housing until the middle of July. How long does it take for paint to cure?
? I don’t deny the car looked great at that show, fresh paint, buffed up nice, but then it sat for over a month.
Wrong again my friend. If you car to remember and do a little checking on this forum, the car was REPAINTED because I was not happy with the first finish. It was done just before the show which you were going to attend with your trailer to take the car home with you. Remember that? Posted it here on the forum too.
You called me a day before to tell me your vehicle couldn't pull it. It was THEN that we talked about the paint and the time it needed to cure. You even had that conversation with others here on the forum.
You didn't come to the show and didn't pick up the car. It was then scheduled for trucking. Speaking of which, did you get a copy of the Insurance Claim and Check sheet from the driver showing the paint in PERFECT, PRISTINE CONDITION with ZERO notations anywhere?
You NEVER told me about any holes or cracks. I saw that pick and wasn’t sure what it was a picture of, I still can’t really make out it’s a hole.
It's more of a dimple I suppose. I guess a hole would go all the way through. So maybe it's not a hole. But you could put your finger down in it. I bet if it weren't a two ply surface, it would have gone all the way through.
Regardless... we spoke extensively about them.
I know it was not a turn key car, never said or expected it to be. John did tell me the car ran great and didn’t have any injector leak before sending it to you. There wasn’t WATER in the oil it was Gas, and no oil on the dipstick. You told me the injector had a small leak, I think the leak would have to be a little bigger to get gas into the oilpan.
My mistake... GAS
This is John Watson that told you this? I hope you mean John Hayes. The car hasn't been in the presence of John Watson since it went to Hayes... unless you are telling me otherwise... since it was shipped to Hayes way back when. Hayes told me about the leak when I bought it and I told you about it before you bought it. Besides, It's a mute point. It has a leak, you knew that, you agreed to fix it despite the fact I offered to fix it originally.
You gave me a list of things needed to complete the car and when it arrived the list about doubled. You advertised the car 90% complete, then after painting and installing the interior you stated it was 90% complete.
It's not 90% complete? Let's see... when it left here it needed the lights hooked up, vents, the instruments installed and wired, the Injector repaired, the shift cables were goofy and needed replaced and a new bushing on the right rear. Oh and outter door locks installed. It needed mirrors and the front window trimmed. Finally, the paint needed to be polished.
Am I missing something? Sounds a bit more than 90% now that I read it again.
Here is the list I’m aware of:
Ferrari door panel (unless you didn’t throw away the other one then both)
Ferrari HVAC vents
Center console, dash board
Seat rails
Headlights
The Original faux dash the Original Ferrari Door are in your box along with the new Headlamps and door pulls.
All the other dash parts, including the center console, are with the car as shown in the pictures.
The car had no seat rails. I can send you a set of stock Fiero Seat rails if it's that critical. They won't work anyway because they are REAL ferrari Seats. I assume that's why Hayes sent the car without them in the first place.
The vents....
All of which are in your box.
I wasn’t going to bring them up until the parts are not being shipped. I really don’t like slamming people. But I’m also not going to sit back and let you make it seem like it’s my fault.
It's not your fault. That's obvious. I failed to ship those parts out quickly and that's MY fault. But I'm not going to sit back and listen to you try to say I didn't deliver EXACTLY what I promised you.
To reduce everything you are saying here... in NO FANCY WORDS... THIS is what you are saying:
You want your box and the parts inside it. Other than the need for a good buffing, you are fine with the car. You affirm that you will fix the other problems just as you agreed to do from the very beginning.
Is that about the just of it?
