That shit happens all the time most of the time it has a dead end I thought about going up there and taking the bike back but he moved like 900 miles from here so I will sit patiently and wait for my 3000. I don’t even really care about the money or do I need it, but I am starting to wonder whether I will ever see it I really don’t want it back either

Well, maybe the worst part is that I did the same thing 2 more times. We hit a deer with the Cutlass, smashed the left front fender. I couldn't find a fender, and couldn't afford to have it fixed at the time, so I bought a Mercury- was it a Monarch that looked just like a Ford Granada? It looked like a Granada, but it was a Mercury. So the Olds was still parked in the driveway, had been there for a while, and a man stopped by one day and wanted to buy it. Of course he didn't have the money, but he said he would make payments. My brother in law just happened to be there at the time, and he said he knew the guy, and he would be good for the money. That was the last I saw of him or the car, never got any money out of him.

The last time was an '81 Buick Regal I had. I got it for my wife, who passed away in 2005 from cancer. I bought a 2001 Ford Focus because it was a little easier for her to drive and more comfortable for me to take her back and forth to Charlottesville to the U VA. hospital. My step daughter and her husband wanted to know if she would sell it to them. She said she would, and she would take $300 for it. I just just put 4 new tires on it. And I had just taken it to Don's Stereo in Lynchburg and had a new Jensen stereo system installed for her. Either of those, the tires or the stereo, was worth $300. And when I bought the car it had just been painted, the engine had been completely rebuilt, new pistons, the works. He had also rebuilt the transmission. I bought it from the head mechanic at H.H. Moore's. Had the V6 engine in it, and it ran great. My wife was already pretty sick at this time, but when she said $300 I thought "that's fine, I bought the car for you, and she's your daughter, so if you only want $300 I'm fine with it".  And same thing. They wanted to know if they could pay $50 a week, or maybe a month. They took the car and paid $50, and I never saw another dime.

And of all of these this one still pisses me off the most. 😡
