*Sigh* I need to have a little conversation with my local Les Schwab

[ninjaotter]

is this dude OK? I remember him messaging me several months back and never heard from him again. that was probably 6+ months ago.

and damn, some of the people in here bitching about him getting a settlement. wow. get a life! For all we know this kid could have passed away.

<3 I'm still alive.

I got a nice check, and finally a begrudging apology.

I moved into a much nicer condo in a bigger city (access to better hospitals), paid some medical bills, went back to school, and put money in the bank. My R32 GTR will have to wait a few more years. I could have pulled it off, but it would have stretched things a little bit too thin. Plus they're becoming legal to import, so they should be cheaper in a few years.

My health is...not great. However, I'm alive. I got a dog, and have a nice view of the ocean (well, I think its a bay or sound of some kind, but its six of one, half dozen of the other). I'm building a CNC machine and a 3D printer, mostly to further my love of building things. Dealing with dust and noise in a condo is an issue though...my neighbors So, all in all, I'm pretty happy.

My E30 is still in my garage, waiting for me to find a new chassis to transplant its heart into. Almost scored one for $200 last weekend, but my health kept me in bed instead of out buying old cars. Its tempting to just go spend $5000 or $10000 and get one of the beautiful cars listed on here, but it wouldn't be mine, and I'm not healthy enough to do the labor.

...and Nando, I am still working on that new cluster we talked about. Its coming along very nicely. Its really wasted in a car with such limited telemetry, but I'm getting it to do some interesting things.

Glad things worked out, and I hope you get better soon. Sounds like you have a positive attitude about things, and that will serve you well. Good luck man.

This exact same scenario happened to me on my ix back in the day. The one Nando bought and built his car (well motor from).

There is no fucking way he got 100k. It took me almost a year to get a 2k check.

This is an insurance payout and nothing more. Damages? Please. Homeboy got his car totaled most likely and got a check for that, nothing more me thinks.
