Cruising from Daytona Beach Florida to Denver... Nashville/St. Louis or OKC/DFW?

Been there, it sucks. Really hard to walk away like that.

This one stings really really bad...

I purchased a set of turbochargers from Steven. Installed new turbo gaskets, water lines, oil lines, and hardware. Paid $120 for tools to be shipped out. Food, lodging, rental car, fuel, parking, and etc. $500 in plane tickets...

The biggest sting is my wife. She'll have this one on me for a looong time!

I bought an ounce of gold put it in a f****** blender and converted it to a bottle of Goldschlager.

wow man that sucks, I'm assuming the seller wasn't truly honest about the condition of the engine or do you think he just didn't know?

[Chris@Rvengeperformance]

That really sucks, but I feel like maybe you were a bit ambitious. Anytime I would buy a car that didn't run I'd assume the worst.

Sorry it didn't work out J. I hate buying cars remote but sometimes its worth doing the Risk / Reward thing. When we bought the Spyder it was the same deal.... had to fly out with money in hand - one way tickets - car rentals to drive from Minneapolis to the sticks of Wisconsin - and if we had gotten there and the Car wasn't as advertised it would really have sucked to have to walk away ....

[futurevr4man]

i cant believe you have that money to just blow like that. wish i did...

[J. Fast]

My beating isn't done yet... $185 to check my tools... I'm either overweight on two bags (75lbs ea) or will be required to pay a third bag penalty of $125. I was forced to upgrade to first class to upgrade my bag weight from 50lbs to 70lbs. Cost me $150... I also just walked away from a tool briefcase so I didn't have to pay to check it. TSA wouldn't let me thru security with any metal items over 7" in length. Now Im starting to get pissed!

[Chris@Rvengeperformance]

ouch, that blows

[Street_Chally73]

Wow, that sucks miserably!!! I know that TSA officials are only looking out for other people's safety, but they can sure be a major PITA sometimes!! I left a good amount of things I bought overseas back in Amsterdam's airport due to restrictions/weight & had like $100-$125 worth of Dutch specialty tulips seized by customs upon re-entering the states.

Sorry to hear it didn't turn out to be as nice of a deal as one first thought & that you're now out all that time, money, & energy!
