Bitterness/Rant (kinda long)

[jtoomasson at yahoo.com (Jeff Toomasson)]

I know some of you saw that ad on the Vortex for the $1k '81 S that had all the goodies.
 
I was the first one to respond and basically said I'd buy it. Even offered the guy a deposit.
 
Just so happened that Mark Hausler was flying down to LA where the owner lived.  Get pix from the guy and OMG it looked good. Grey in almost the shade I was looking for, engine combo I was going to do (for now anyway), non-A/C, no sunroof, euro bumps.
 
I was even able to convince the wife it was a smart buy!

Mark checked it out on Sunday and all was good. Emailed him Monday morning and he replys back:  "well, give me a day to make sure this is what I really want to do...blah, blah, blah"
 
Then I saw the guy post on the Vortex looking for an uncracked mk1 dash. I emailed him saying WTF (in much nicer words tho...)
 
Now he says "oh I'm going to sell it to my brother..." whatever...b*tch
 
I guess the guy's got the right to retract the sale, but I'm just pissed. Got all psyched up for nothing...b*tch...
 
Now I just have to make my mk1  1000 times better than his POS (too bad it'll cost me $4k more), but at least it'll be done MY WAY (cue Sinatra)...b*tch...
 
I've been debating flaming him on Vortex, but he said there's still a small possibility that his brother is not 100% in...b*tch...
 
Grrr...........
 
Thanks for listening - Jeff
