So I loaned a fellow Mid-A person a set of my wheels...

For a whole month...

FOR FREE...

And this person returns them to me with a 4" gash in the tire, and a BAD 3" curb on the wheel.

And now they arent responding to my text messages.

No apology, no offer to fix them or pay for damages, not even owning up to it and saying it was an accident...



Cant trust anyone these days.

 

whoa you serious!? Thats mucked up man!

 

they wernt the P45's were they?

 

Ok so NOW that i know that these turbos are literally the same. What's the real point? I assumed having two turbos would be better by having one smaller to build boost quicker while the other to take over?

more tq maybe? otherwise, i'd stick with a single like the powerlab just to have maybe less things go wrong?

 

out them!!!!! Who was it!!!!!

 

it was me...

 

really?

 

It's always the half black guy! lol

 

no clown lol it wasnt me it was a joke

 

couldnt see the curb over the cowboy hat.

 

youre the clown you sick nasty son of a b!tch

 

vroooOOOOMMMM PSShhhhh

 

WOOOOaaaaaahhhh dude! I never got a text from you. I do remember you asking me about it when I returned the wheels to you, and I'm almost sure that mark was there when I put the wheels on my car originally. And I even said that to you when I dropped the wheels off with you. It's the same spoke that has the weird hairline crack and weird scuff mark on it. I don't really remember exactly when I was putting them on because I wasn't paying attention to them. I REALLY DO appreciate the fact that you lent them to me for free for so long, and extended my usage. I don't appreciate the fact that you went and name-bashed me on here before trying to talk to me again (after sending one text, that I didn't even get anyway).

I will gladly come pick up that wheel and repair the rash to the best of my ability. Or repair you monetarily, just to be a good sport about it. But I'm still under the impression that the rim already had a little damage to it when they were put on the car. The rash that I remember seeing is honestly not that bad. Hardly even noticeable actually. The flap/gash on the tire could probably just be cut off. Let me know how you'd like me to take care of it.

As for being an untrustworthy person, that's false to say. I help A LOT of people out in the Mid-A and I'm not as big a jerk as some of the *** clowns around this forum. I help people out with installs, lending parts, offering service, and I'm usually pretty liberal when it comes to giving help. Let's start with you Mike:

I loaned you my stickypod for the PhillA Cheesesteak run, back in....??? March? I believe you still have that in your possession. Sure I don't really need it, and that's why I don't mind letting you borrow it in the meantime. But I paid ~80 bucks for that tool, and still hope I get it back. I also never mind giving rides to people, ie: 350z Fan1, Woodrow, Joy_Ride, and plenty of other folks around the area who don't even drive z's. I gladly help people do installs on their cars, for FREE. In fact, in some cases I've actually done the complete install with no help from the person I'm doing it for.

I've installed JGrizzle's true duals for free when he bought them from me. What kind of shop have you ever been to where you bought a part from the owner and then got free installation of it??? I installed Barnabas' true dual HKS when he asked me to help him out. No prob! I installed Woodrow's testpipes. Helped plenty of other people (even non Z owner/drivers) with suspension and etc installation. Woodrow is in fact riding on my TEIN S-Techs right now. Never charged him a thing for them, just he paid some tolls for me on a cruise in return. I've taken plenty of photography and video for people that normally folks would have to pay out the *** for. And I'm sure I've done countless other good deeds, that usually go unpaid, unrecognized and unappreciated.

But don't sit there and try to call me out and say I'm a bad person dude. I'm just another guy who is into cars and likes helping his fellow car friends out. I'm sorry about your wheel. But let me know what you want me to do bro. I'm not trying to burn a bridge here.

^I was about to propose that we roll up to this and rep the Mid-A. But on closer inspection, I realized there was no request for sick, nasty vehicles just plain old boring sick ones. Meh....

 

I heart you paul....

 

Mid A dont roll unless its rare and sick nasty

 

Paul also stored my OEM exhaust at his house for two weeks and then drove it to my house in baltimore for me....

 

im not outing you, i did send you three texts over this weekend and didnt get a single reply.

the rear direzza's were brand new, fresh.

the spoke did have the scratch, but there is a 3" CURB with yellow paint on it.

i know that NONE of the wheels were curbed.

and the curb rash lines up DIRECTLY with the gash in the tire, and the yellow paint, it was def a parking curb

i dont know if you let someone else drive your car? maybe it was a mis communication but i would think you'd know if you curbed a wheel and not trying and return them to me and "not notice"

and i'm just glad its not my eurolines or works or volks. i'm not upset, they are only rota's but come on, if you know you curbed them and you were up front with me when you returned them and said it was an accident it would have been a lot easier to swallow than looking at them in the day light the next day and seeing the CURB!

 

hey we could turn this into a BADAZZ meet if the entire NZC/NGC rolls up there!

and WE BRING THE SICK NASTY!

 

Maybe this could be handled in pm so nothing bad come of this? Id hate for there to be issues between anyone. Both you guys are big part of this community and id hate for there to be drama for no reason....

just my .02 Maybe we can nip it in the bud and you guys can handle it offline before the internet posts cant be taken back?

Hug it out dammit!!!!

(see guys im not always a *****. This is a Super Mad Rare JDM Occasion though. I had it shipped in and got it from customs this morning. Glad it got here in time)
