Couldn't agree more, its obvious this vato is trying to give Anthony the slippery sanchez by not paying up. Be thankful Anthony is a nice guy homes anyone else especially if they know where you live...your car would be on stripped & on bricks by now.

 

^ Word, cause if you did that to me homie. I would call the mob on you!

 

'This Vato'?

You really enjoy slipping homophobic and racist slurs into everything you post. That's not a great quality

 

Hey its My friend Glen , I am Latino sorry if I don't share the same slang as you do.

 

Sorry, I misunderstood the situation. Because you are latino it's ok to use racist terms. Cool man. Carry on

 

I didn't k ow vato was a racist term. Doesn't it mean homeboy?

 

Lol yea exactly but Glen thinks otherwise.

 

guys. Please dont argue in the thread. I want to keep this as a open discusion but i dont want to get this out of hand and locked up.

 

You are absolutely right, I was just voicing an opinion to Luis on how I and mostly everyone else on here think he's messing you over. Then Glen had to add his two cents alleging I was saying a racist term...lol he obviously has a problem with me, Glen please if you have an issue with me on here PLEASE pm me and we can meet up and discuss the issue at hand...back to the topic I hope all works out for you Anthony.

 

There we go, cleaned up the posts a little bit.

 

lol!

 

damn i just wasted 20 minutes of my life reading all this.

 

There is a lesson here for everyone, but calisuby you have to take the majority of the blame.

First, even if you went to a shop, I would bet you would be in the same situation if you took the same steps. From what I have gathered, you bought a used engine and asked people to test including the OP/mechanic. There is no shop that would guarantee that the engine is good working order and assume all responsibilities for a used engine that you found (tested or not). Too many variables for them to take on the liabilities. In fact if you took it to a shop, there would be the fine print that says you supplied the parts and no warranties on your supplied parts.

OP did work for you and got a working engine together from two different engines. Then something happened? And now it's being towed to a dealership that your uncle works for? Hmmm... why didn't you just go there first? I am bet that between the shops, dealership and the OP, the OP was the cheapest and the one with the least amount of ground to stand on.

Now the OP is out of money, sounds like labor and costs for parts and other services (machine shop,etc). You ignore his communication attempts and this is where the situation stands.

The cheapest route isn't always the best and if you do go the cheapest and there are question marks, understand those and assume the risks. Be a man and at least pay for his out of pocket costs and work out or pay him his labor.

OP, change your business practices. Get a contract, collect your money, get a business license, etc. If this is a business, treat it like one. Helping some one install an exhaust for beer is one thing, rebuilding engines for thousands is another.

 

You took the words rightout of my mouth! thanks for making it more clear for others to understand.
