Anyone have any idea what happened to the "stolen car piece by piece" thread?

Cannot find it anywhere, even using the search engine.

May have gotten the axe. IDK though. I didn't read it. Looked like it would go downhill fast....

It sounded like a crappy experience, but was also a bit of an odd rant.

I read some of it.

Joeaksa · 10-08-2009, 09:47 AM

Wanted to see if he ever got the car or parts back, so was curious.

stomachmonkey · 10-08-2009, 09:51 AM

Deleted but google how to steal a car piece and it's in the cache.

Does not seem he got anything back.

"One Piece at a Time" by Johnny Cash:

Well, I left Kentucky back in '49
An' went to Detroit workin' on a 'sembly line
The first year they had me puttin' wheels on cadillacs

Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by
And sometimes I'd hang my head and cry
'Cause I always wanted me one that was long and black.

One day I devised myself a plan
That should be the envy of most any man
I'd sneak it out of there in a lunchbox in my hand
Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired
But I figured I'd have it all by the time I retired
I'd have me a car worth at least a hundred grand.

[CHORUS]
I'd get it one piece at a time
And it wouldn't cost me a dime
You'll know it's me when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
I'm gonna drive everybody wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is a round.

So the very next day when I punched in
With my big lunchbox and with help from my friends
I left that day with a lunch box full of gears
Now, I never considered myself a thief
GM wouldn't miss just one little piece
Especially if I strung it out over several years.

The first day I got me a fuel pump
And the next day I got me an engine and a trunk
Then I got me a transmission and all of the chrome
The little things I could get in my big lunchbox
Like nuts, an' bolts, and all four shocks
But the big stuff we snuck out in my buddy's mobile home.

Now, up to now my plan went all right
'Til we tried to put it all together one night
And that's when we noticed that something was definitely wrong.

The transmission was a '53
And the motor turned out to be a '73
And when we tried to put in the bolts all the holes were gone.

So we drilled it out so that it would fit
And with a little bit of help with an A-daptor kit
We had that engine runnin' just like a song
Now the headlight' was another sight
We had two on the left and one on the right
But when we pulled out the switch all three of 'em come on.

The back end looked kinda funny too
But we put it together and when we got thru
Well, that's when we noticed that we only had one tail-fin
About that time my wife walked out
And I could see in her eyes that she had her doubts
But she opened the door and said "Honey, take me for a spin."

So we drove up town just to get the tags
And I headed her right on down main drag
I could hear everybody laughin' for blocks around
But up there at the court house they didn't laugh
'Cause to type it up it took the whole staff
And when they got through the title weighed sixty pounds.

[CHORUS]
I got it one piece at a time
And it didn't cost me a dime
You'll know it's me when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
I'm gonna drive everybody wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is around.

[Spoken] Ugh! Yow, RED RYDER
This is the COTTON MOUTH
In the PSYCHO-BILLY CADILLAC Come on

Huh, This is the COTTON MOUTH
And negatory on the cost of this mow-chine there RED RYDER
You might say I went right up to the factory
And picked it up, it's cheaper that way
Ugh!, what model is it?

Well, it's a '49, '50, '51, '52, '53, '54, '55, '56, '57, '58, '59 automobile
It's a ,60, '61, '62, '63, '64... fades

It comes up "you do not have access to this page" .... What in the world is going on? The guy had someone do something to his car and the thread is pulled?

Gogar · 10:13 AM

I think it's kind of an "Aw Jeez, not this again" subject with the mods, so they move it to the moderator board, which is like locking it, but it goes away from here as well.

The topic of that thread, (however cleverly disguised) has been a topic of a brazillion threads here and on the tech board; if you're a regular you probably know what it is. I think that the mods are giving the whole thing the "ten foot pole" at this point. Yes, its a crappy, upsetting, frustrating story for everyone involved, I'm sure.

Joe,

When you get the google result just under it on the left is a link for the cache.

I'd post it but since it was removed by a Mod or Wayne I think they'd take exception to me posting the link.

onlycafe · 10-08-2009, 10:16 AM

i wondered about that too.
at first i thought it was just me.

30-60 days although a site owner can request removal which still takes some time.

Joeaksa · 10-08-2009, 10:37 AM

SM,

Thanks and found the original thread and also find that my posts to the thread have been removed. WTF is going on and why? There is no porn, no politics and we are just trying to find out what is going on. Why are they being removed?

Hope that no one at Pelican is the person who has been doing these things...

Possibly legal/liability reasons?

In response:

"Blew911" appears to have an agenda and knew how to close the thread. He named names, something I asked not to be done at the beginning.

I will post details that many of you are not aware of again soon, pictures and all!!!

The truth is the truth and having access to it protects everyone. When certain people attempt to stop the truth from getting out it makes me question their motives...

Yes it involves people who are very well known on Pelican Parts and yes it involves a lot of legal wrangling and a lot of victims and a statewide special investigative task force (SANCATT) that has been a Godsend as many people before me were ostrisized and accused of attempting to tarnish someone's reputation and left feeling as though they had done something wrong and it speaks volumes for the character of many on this board... the victims become the victims yet again.

Not this time... no more victims... read my story and learn and never experience what myself and many others here have. If you doubt me you make me a victim twice and that makes you something you should be ashamed to be associated with.

Once I have what I need I will post the whole sordid story and try to make in a learning experience for everyone. This forum is a witness to real life, people live, die and are rewarded and are harmed... people argue and people undoubtedly love (the damn cars as if they are human... I've been guilty of that one) but the thing you all need to remember is that this is real life, not cartoons, just because it is being communicated on a screen does not mean that real people are not experiencing real events like having unmarked police cars sit in the driveway at night in response to real... not make believe... threats, so that their children can sleep. Read the parable below and remember, it will make sense when you hear the whole story.

Regards,

Mark

The Scorpion and the Frog

One day, a scorpion looked around at the mountain where he lived and decided that he wanted a change. So he set out on a journey through the forests and hills. He climbed over rocks and under vines and kept going until he reached a river.

The river was wide and swift, and the scorpion stopped to reconsider the situation. He couldn't see any way across. So he ran upriver and then checked downriver, all the while thinking that he might have to turn back.

Suddenly, he saw a frog sitting in the rushes by the bank of the stream on the other side of the river. He decided to ask the frog for help getting across the stream.

"Hellooo Mr. Frog!" called the scorpion across the water, "Would you be so kind as to give me a ride on your back across the river?"

"Well now, Mr. Scorpion! How do I know that if I try to help you, you wont try to kill me?" asked the frog hesitantly.

"Because," the scorpion replied, "If I try to kill you, then I would die too, for you see I cannot swim!"

Now this seemed to make sense to the frog. But he asked. "What about when I get close to the bank? You could still try to kill me and get back to the shore!"

"This is true," agreed the scorpion, "But then I wouldn't be able to get to the other side of the river!"

"Alright then...how do I know you wont just wait till we get to the other side and THEN kill me?" said the frog.

"Ahh...," crooned the scorpion, "Because you see, once you've taken me to the other side of this river, I will be so grateful for your help, that it would hardly be fair to reward you with death, now would it?!"

So the frog agreed to take the scorpion across the river. He swam over to the bank and settled himself near the mud to pick up his passenger. The scorpion crawled onto the frog's back, his sharp claws prickling into the frog's soft hide, and the frog slid into the river. The muddy water swirled around them, but the frog stayed near the surface so the scorpion would not drown. He kicked strongly through the first half of the stream, his flippers paddling wildly against the current.

Halfway across the river, the frog suddenly felt a sharp sting in his back and, out of the corner of his eye, saw the scorpion remove his stinger from the frog's back. A deadening numbness began to creep into his limbs.

"You fool!" croaked the frog, "Now we shall both die! Why on earth did you do that?"

The scorpion shrugged, and did a little jig on the drownings frog's back.

"I could not help myself. It is my nature."

Then they both sank into the muddy waters of the swiftly flowing river.

maybe you 2 should get together and duke it out and stop wasting the band width?

Mr. Dempsey will shut this one down in short order as well, just as he has with the other threads.

maybe the story could be told in the local newspaper? I think we are all well aware of who, what, where this this story is about.

Have been emailed by one "in the know" and realize now that this will play out in the courts as the person involved has been arrested and is now in jail. Sorry to hear that but even more sorry that it seems that he was allowed to continue doing crap like this for a long time because no one "dropped a dime" on him.

We all need to watch out for each other and do not need people like this in the Porsche community.

Mark021 · 10-08-2009, 02:37 PM

Thanks Don....

Yes I do have an agenda, the truth.

Remeber how bad you felt when a vandal punctured your Targa top.... you have absolutely no idea how I feel.

Please don't condemn me Don... I have the support of very good and decent people who's lives have been terrorized and it's obscene that it's been allowed to go on this long out of fear of retribution.

Oh Haha · 10-08-2009, 02:42 PM

I agree, Joe.

Glad to hear a person may pay for what they've done.
