    I'm not sure what to think of this... kinda seems like it's in bad taste. Warning someone that their car may suck is one thing, setting up a pool and betting on it failing seems a bit over the top though.

    Dude, he has been doing rebuild cars for many years. He would not have the business if he did not know what to do.

    I've seen the results of his "rebuilds" firsthand. I wouldn't trust him to walk my dog, let alone put my car back together. And I'd like to see the actual figures for how many cars he really "builds" every year.

    Sorry, it just feels like I've been watching a whole season of some daytime drama, and the season finale has been canceled.

    I think it's more like the Sopranos series finale. We've all got a case of blue balls until we get some closure to this.

    we can definitely pay attention to the "introduce yourself here" thread, and see if anyone comes in with a car matching the description.

    well, he told me that he is giving me the hood back. So it will be harder to spot the car now.
