But i think we have all read stories and know of someone in this world that has done something that ended up costing them much more than it started out,their Freedom and Even there lives.. (maybe if someone gave a voice of reason to them it could have helped)
I see you getting more and more Angry here...Maybe its time to back off and take a deep breath...One thing for sure you cannot Spend $1,000 with any School and get the education you just learned..
Just think about it thats all. Sometimes a man has to just walk away. (not telling you what to do just trying to make you think a little cause i don't know what your thinking)

Firebird89 has started two posts.
"Beware of Wayneworld154 from Owensboro, KY" who he sold his car to.
"Never buy from Jim Edwards" who he bought a car from.
Sounds like he is upset with his buyer and his seller.
Who ever is right or wrong doesnt really matter. Bottom line is you sold your car and its a done deal.
And as a lesson to everyone who buys and sells. Go to you local office supply store and purchase a carbonless sales book, put it in your glove box so you can be better prepared for yourself and both parties have the exact same signatures and writings. Things like this should never happen.

Both of your last posts have made very good and valid points. Now that you felt the need to drag up a post from a dispute from a guy that boned me on a car, I'd like to know exactly how much you know on that deal? Seeing as how the outcome no longers matters (to you). I really don't give a shit what your opinion is of my easy going personallity. If you want to bash me for being trusting and giving the benefit of the doubt---go for it. Puts you right in the same attitude and mindset of those same people that made shaddy business choices. And I don't mean lax, I mean shaddy. Not that I need to explain anything about the 95 Z I bought and got the bone on, but seeing as how some of you like to try and degrade anyone at any angle----here it is. 100% (short version) Bought this 95 Z28 from Jim Edwards out of Indiana. He had the car advertised to run low 10s on motor alone---no nos. Cold working A/C, etc... A/c blew hot, really didn't care in the least. Took the car right to Byron dragway and the best the car ran was 11:40s. My call to him managed to get a answer of he didn't know because he didn't run the car. Funny how that story changed so quickly. Car only ran a best of 11:35 when I FIXED it and sold it. Yes. FIXED it. I only got a few passes out of it because it started making noise under the bottom end. Loaded it up and headed home. Found most of the flexplate bolts backed out or missing. Further into it it appeared one had broke off in the crank flange. Geeez---it was a broken off tap. Sold me a broken car that he knew I was taking it right to the 1/4 track. Not only did he lie and say him and his buddys built it and that it ran 10:00s on motor alone and that they painted it, etc...........it was knowingly broken. I shelled out 15K for that car. I guess when a man throws down 15 clams for a car, he really shouldn't expect he's getting what he was told he was huh? Is that how we should operate while buying? Show up with a attitude because you know this car your buying is probably f-ed up right? Cop a attitude with the seller because everyone on here sells thier stuff like that and it's acceptable??? I'd bet if you did a pole, you would find tons of people that do not want to be associated with that type of mentallity. And as for my deal with the firebird---this will be about the 3rd time I've explained this, so please listen close. I proved my point that I have legal recourse---cars legaly titled in my name and the receipt I showed was obviosuly not folded or altered. Fine---However, go back to the original post I made. The whole point was to warn people they could get the shaft on this car if they delt with this worm. He is not a stright player people. The car is nice---I raced it for a few years and it's won lots of $$$, but is it worth taking a chance buying it from a shaddy guy? Do what you want. Goodluck---I'm out

In my opion, if it matters, I would only buy a race car after I seen it run down the track. That way there is no problems. or BS on how fast, goes straight, this, that or the other thing. If im shelling out 15,000 I want to see proff, unless your buying a roller then thats different, then you take a buddy with you and a tape measure and make sure everything is straight and squared up and 4 eyes are better then 2, Thats my 2 cents

You are exactly right!!!! You can NOT take anyones word for anything. I know there are some very honest sellers and buyers on here, unfortunately we also have some of the big liars and thiefs among us to. Blown is right--check every single possible thing you can. Never assume or take anyones word for the truth. NO EXCEPTIONS!
