Yep, in less than 3 minutes, he hit every target for me to not want to do work for him
#1. Piece of shat Cadillac that probably needed $2500.00 worth of work, but the guy is short on money, and sounds like he wants me to spend my day welding, his exhaust back together, and putting bandaids on things.
#2 He cannot drop it off, ( I rarely do wait jobs, and keep it down to small stuff first thing in the morning ). So he wants to wait, and watch over me like a hawk, while I get frustrated trying to unbolt his rusty jalopy .
#3. He has a good source for parts, and would like to provide his own. ( I will do this in special circumstances like for Porshce , or hot rod work ) but not spark plugs, mufflers, and brakes, c'mon . Not only do I loose money on the deal, this will surely slow down the whole process.
#4, He got really pushy, and demanding within the first 5 minutes of meeting me. I can only imagine what is going to happen when I am not finished up at 5 o clock,and want to go home.
