I'm calling you out 69-Girlie Boy

[dhoward]

Shaun, look.
The deal here is, you have a reputation for butting into people deals in the classifieds. You've done it several times in the past, to the point of blowing a deal for me once because of your insistance that someone wasn't asking enough money for something. It's not up to you to set pricing on P-Car parts. If you don't want to buy something, stay out of it. Then we wouldn't be here bickering.
Fair enough?

Shaun, for what it's worth. I do feel you are condenscending to others, often outright rude. You've never said anything adverse to me, but I don't post much anymore. I don't understand your remark about yesterdays business. I just read the thread about the democrats, and you posted for several days there, repeating your argument over and over.

Maybe (probably) there are people on this BBS that are not overly inteligent. Advising them of this is not a constructive action. We all work (except for Tabby), and we all have families. You aren't the spokesman for us, so let it alone.

I do agree, however, that to make assaults on your business, pedophile inuendos, is wrong. So let's add up the score. Everyone is wrong a little. Some more than others. Careful you don't burn up in the atmosphere when you come back down to earth.

JMHO

Bob!!!

Bob, I won't disagree with you at all on your assessment of my OT posts. On Technical and Classifieds, I'm a bit morem umm, dignified. Mature might be a better description. In fact is was months ago that I took a leave of absence from OT after a friend from Technical really personally hammered me in OT. I said that if OT was going to damage Technical relationships, best to leave OT. Drawn back in (it's quite a drug) and I'm happy to have earned the respect of many on the other side and worked out tech/OT differences.

As to the yesterday's business, it was all about a thread in classifieds yesterday, one that was dead yesterday, but Souk has resurrected today.

Jim,

I've gotten an email from someone who knows you personally saying "he's one of the nicest guys I've ever met." and doesn't understand your posts.

What's up?

Bob, Tabby works, he just works at eating!!!

I do not agree with those who do not like Shawns selection of career's but thats not what gets him into trouble.

Sticking his nose in others business is what has caused this and he still does not realize that he does it far too often and has gotten a few people perturbed at him for it. He then tries to bring up the "I am doing it to help others" slant without realizing that many of us do not need nor want his help!

Agree... hope that he does not burn up on re-entry...

None of us are getting any work done today. Not even worth trying now.

Hey, I take offence to this statement! I do not participate in this thing you guys call "work".

I don't think that anyone called him a pedophile. They're just teasing him about his logo. Its actually an interesting play on the name from odd 'odd marketing snafu' perspective. Sort of like GM naming a car Nova and selling it to a spanish speaking market.

Who knows... maybe it will be tagged as an urban legend 'badge of honor' among promiscuous teens. But then again, even bad press is good press... eh?

The guy decide to post a bunch of stuff about his business on the OT forum of a bunch of car nuts, talks politics and is a bit of a prick in the classifieds. He's pretty much asking to be poked at with a stick.

OK, I will edit.

None of us here work (today). After all, it's Wednesday. I think that must mean something.

OK, this is news to me, but all you had to do was send me an email. I mean if this is what it's about, we can solve it fast. I'm waiting for dhoward to get back to me since I have no idea what he's talking about, but would love to know.

I don't recall the specifics, as it wasn't an engine, or anything....
May have been some wheels....
After the price changed, I just didn't pursue it.
But I remember it was the first time you pi$$ed me off!



EDIT "Blow a deal" was misleading.

Hmmm. I did a search on your name in Classifieds and only came up with the 3.2 thread. Is that really your only post in all of Classifieds? This is what started it all:

"FS 3.2 complete engine. What is a fair price?"

FS 3.2 complete engine. What is a fair price?

Take a read on that thing! Whoa! And see, I forgot all about that, moved on as it were.

[Shaun @ Tru6]

Guys, this is the thread that started it all.

FS 3.2 complete engine. What is a fair price?

guy posts a motor with 125K on it, wants an opinion on value. he thinks 4500 to 4700.

I offer my opinion.

Souk says it's worth $1500 to $1700.

I rest my case.

In your world, yes, stick poking would be appropriate. I definitely take issue with the prick statement in classifieds, no evidence yet on that, in fact quite the opposite. I'm still waiting for Souk to post the details on hte many and varied people I've screwed over.

if you had said I'm prick RE: politics in OT, I'd have to agree BTW.

On G9Girl here in OT. Hey, this Off Topic. and I thought, and it has been confirmed, that many people would like to see the stages of a growing company from ground zero. To many, maybe not to you, it's interesting. I've gotten tremendous feedback from inventory bookkeeping to executing a recent private placement to having a fellow Pelican join the staff.

In short, it's been a great experience. Today we were going to announce the launch of Chain Reaction, our new eZine, but probably won't.

Guys, in the end, my words here are backed up by my actions, ones that demonstrate the strength of my character. I live by a specific philoshophy, it's clearly not for everyone, but I am nothing if not tenacious in my beliefs.

[cantdrv55]

Posted by Souk in the thread Shaun gave us a link to:

"A 3.2 with that kind of mileage will need a rebuild (topend) soon despite your compression numbers... a prudent buyer would look to deduct about 3K from your asking price."

I just took my '87 Carrera for a mjor service to a well respected local shop. It has 118K miles on it and good compression numbers. The wrench told me to plan on a rebuild in about 25K miles and the quote for that job was $8K.

BTW, that was already a second opinion. Another shop I used before quoted $6K but the job needed to be done NOW.

And if this philosophy includes doing what was done to Souk with the Ducktail, as you said, you would be in for a beating!

There have been several people (not just Souk) who have chimed in and said that you did something on the forum that was not correct in their, and others view. Its your actions that are pissing people off yet you continue to deny doing anything. Keep digging the hole deeper but its not helping.

[Shaun @ Tru6]

What was his rationale for the rebuild?

Why 25K more miles?

How much oil do you burn every 1K now?

$8K for a top end rebuild is very high BTW.

My experience: have had 2 3.2 cars, 84 and 86. both went to well over 200K miles before needing to be opened up. Why my 241K mile 3.2 burned a quart every 700 miles, within factory spec, when I sold it.

More experience:
Getting out of school I apprenticed at a local Porsche race shop. I've done their books on and off for years and am active friends with them. If a 3.2 passes the 80K mile mark and your valve guides make it through, there's a good shot at seeing 200K before it needs to be opened up.

But don't take my word for it, just read what Bruce Anderson has to say.
