Quote from the smartest man on tech!

the car was never wrecked it broke the drive shaft on the dyno cause the guy who installed the 1,600.00 worth of parts that weekend dident no what the flip he was doing haha
they had to cut it off they said to put another one on I was out of town that hole weekend where they mananged to make my simple cam swap install nos kit bill go up to 1,600.00 due to the fact that they fucked something up and then it blue the torque are up cause the car had to much power and I guess those ******* never put it on there right int he first place and it blew the drive shaft deal cause they dident no what they where doing in that end either haha I guess its my shitty luck picking them to pay to install everything and that is the only time the car has broken other then be like breakina few rear end gears thats when i decided to say screw it and spend 3k on my 12 bolt from pyle brothers now since then no issues what so ever

the car has never been in a ditch i hit a few curbs and banged up my old wheels thats why I got new fisks and then I sold those before u bought the car and then I put on my old Zr1's that where in great shape and ovisule you really dident even look at anything I have had before I told you I have had 3 ls1 camaros's haha I was looking for a SS hood and bumper cause my sister wreked both of my cars 2 different weekend the only one she never got to drive was this one because the engine was messed up and way to fast thank god if you dont believe me here u go i will send u the links to my for sale add's about the cars and u can see why i was looking for Ss hood's and bumpers ur self I have no reason to lie to you I had 5 other people wanting to buy that car they just needed more time then you and they had all seen rode and drivin the car before

What? Has the guy ever heard of punctuation? That was a PITA to read. Other than the rambling on, I think I got the gist of what he's saying. Basically something along the lines of "Oh, **** I'm caught. Time to blame everyone else".

Am I right?

Lane you know you called me on accident the other day asking for someone else, haha

Well the commie bastards at safeco (the shittiest insurance company ever!!!) told me today that I wasnt going to be able to buy my truck back, so I asked about just the engine....not a chance......even if I replace it?......nope, no sir and im not going to argue with you about it! Well can I talk to your manager?...No, I'm not going to refer you to him today. So needless to say customer service is out the window. But they are going to total it and should be paid off by the end of next week. So I'm out about 15k or so. Oh they only appraised my truck at 9k? WTF? Needless to say I'm switching back to USAA.

Wow thats shitty... I would call and bug them until they gave you what you want, or to be able to talk to the Manager.

Yeah I didn't know I called you... Was I drunk?

Please, do yourself a favor, sell the car, go to school, and at least, finish your 12th grade....

Damn Frozen, didn't know you where on here!

Well a little update on the truck-

The insurance said I was at fault for leaving a hidakey on it, so they said they are not going to pay for anything. But I'm getting the truck back and I think I have a guy that wants the motor and another is getting the trans.

So until I pay it off I can't get anything yet. And the way its looking it might be after deployment.

So some SOB stole it? Did they get caught? At least you can still recoupe some of the investment. Sounds like typical insurance bs. Trying to get out of paying anything.
