    Ignorance in Hollywood

    Today...was an interesting day. Decided to go see this car...and the story begins. Sorry, it's long




    First off, I called the guy and talked with him about the car because his ad is retarded and clearly made by a retard. He's totally clueless on any part of the car. As you can see M6 parts are on the car...WOWIEE! M6 parts! (sarcasm) Engine rebuild too! This car is a dream!

    I ask "when was it rebuilt, who rebuilt it, and what was rebuilt?"

    I get "about a year ago, a friend, and the front :loco:"

    WTF...I had no idea people could be that clueless about their own car.

    That was the first tipoff that he was hit in the head with a shovel broke something important and could never think properly again.
    I had nothing better to do today optimistically ventured to see it...mistake.

    I get there hoping that he magically learned a lifetime worth of knowledge in an hour...to no avail he proved me wrong.

    I'm checking in out asking questions...normal questions...like "when was it last serviced" and "have you had any problems lately" fully not expecting to get any straight answer...he lived up to my expectations AGAIN. He can't give me an answer on what was done...ever. I ask for paperwork...he threw it away. By this time I simply want to slap him...and my myself for wasting the time.

    It looked as though the car had been repainted (major respray on the rear and hood, plus shadow lining was missing along with trim), there was no power steering, no ac, half leather interior, the other half ripped a part, the engine was running hot, the brake lining light was on, and the brakes felt like I was pushing my foot through the floorboard to get them even to remotely slow the car, the "drift suspension" i squeaky as hell and is reverse raked like he stuffed a 400lb body in the trunk, and bushings are cracked or not even there! On top of that the car was a walking evilbay cesspool...every single part you can find for a bmw on ebay was there. Not to mention the "professionally" installed exhaust that magically went from 2.5" to 2" (there was simply a pipe with shitty welds holding the bosal muffler to the smaller dia. piping...), w/ what he said had not cats, but there were.

    I go on a test drive, being respectful of the car(not driving like a psycho) and also hoping that the thing won't blow up in the mile i drove it. We get back...and then he says "now it's time to show you how to really drive the car"...at this point he truly deserves a shovel to the face.

    What the heck...let's see how the retard actually drives his car....once again bad move (and bad selling move. who drives like a maniac on a test drive!)

    He peels out of the shopping center...flys around corners going 45-50 (thats fast if you're in la traffic)...meanwhile i'm in the passenger seat with a kung fu grip on the seatbelt (which had fashionably poetic M cushiony shoulder thingies from ebay). I'm holding on for dear life praying that i live to see another test drive...and the fucking seat belt comes off in my hand! So then I'm bouncing around the inside of the car...with him still driving like a fat person chasing cake. He ever so professionally comforts me saying "yeah that happens sometimes...easy fix though" FUCK THAT :crazy:

    Fucking lunatic should have been sitting in the passenger seat...the world would be better off without someone like that polluting the gene pool.

    Needless to say there are some (wait...lots of) retarded folk out there regardless of location.

    The only cool thing about today was on the drive home I accidentally found myself next to the hollywood walk of fame (never been there) and saw the premier of Ratatouille (rat-a-too-ee)

    If you live in Socal and value your life watch out for this guy...he sucks at life and he's taking everyone with him

        Oh god. That's why it wasn't for you!

          awesome. simply awesome. if he had r3v'd the car into a parked car or curb, that story would have been nicely rounded out.

                when i talked to him on the phone...i would have put money on high schooler

                except when i got there he was a short guy mid 20's...thats all

                oh and his company was giving him a g35, maybe he'll rebuild that one with m6 parts too and drift while he's at it

                        That's a good story. I like hearing these kind of stories when you go to look at a car/truck and the guy tells you that it is fast. I took a Ram SS/T for a test drive and the guy told me to floor it (it had a stock 360). So i did, and he said wasn't that fast! I told him that i guess that he did't see what i pulled up in. (1967 Dodge Coronet R/T with a 440 in it) Then he still asked me if i thought the truck was fast. So i replied to him and said not really it's only a stock 360.

                          I would have asked to see the registration or the title to determine whether it was even in this guy's name.

                          It sounds to me like you came across what is commonly referred to as a "curb-stoner". This is really someone who buys a car at the auction, gives it a cheap paint job, sprays Armor-All on EVERYTHING, and then fills it with a bunch of air fresheners and other cheap accessories and nick-knacks bearing the car's logo.

                          Then when you get there the guy claims to not know very much about the car other than the fact that it belonged to his elderly uncle who only drove it to church on Sunday. And when you look under the hood you notice the heat radiating from the engine because the guy was nice enough to conveniently warm it up for you so you wouldn't have to deal with the hard starting problem that it has.

                            lofl i know exactly what you mean....not to be racially or ethnically oriented, but you know what, i think its an inbreeding thing that is very common...the day i bought my previous e30 we go to another sale nearby becuase my friend also wants one...we get there, the guys says i'll be right back, drives down the street, does doughnuts bouncing off the rev-limiter, runs up the street past us to over 80mph, comes back and says, what do you think you like it hah? fast too? come lets talk.

                            both my friend and i walked away like 35seconds later
                            No more e30s for me.
