The New “What did you do with your Z today” (with off topic replies) XXXIV

redondoaveb · 01-12-2020, 08:04 PM

Cupcakez got his junkyard motor installed with new BDE motor mounts. Now they can't get his hood closed because the motor is sitting too high. His mechanic is sick of working on it and doesn't want to remedy the problem so cupcake is on facebook asking people if they would work on it for $100.00/hr. One guy questioned him on why he wouldn't just take it to a shop and his reply was, "I don't trust shops". The guy replied back "so, you don't trust shops, yet you trust some stranger on facebook to work on your car?"

Everyone has given him advice, and he doesn't do anything with it. He may be a nice kid. BUT man, he hasn't learned anything. He's the definition of insanity.

I agree with that. His decision making is what I was referring to.

This. Plus he was a douche to me about the z1 bushing puller tool. Accused me of not shipping it to him because I didn't give him tracking info. Imagine defrauding someone over $12 shipping charges...

For $100/hour I'd happily put two bolts through some hockey pucks and drive out to install some BettyFab engine mounts.
