FML! Why Me?!

Can we get a new GoFundMe set up to make this statue happen?

I mean, no homo or anything, but Frankie got them DSLs. They'd look good in 12ft of marble.

my eyes are up here.

I'm thinking like this but with the chicken parm in my hand...

YES!!!!!!!

Eyebrow game always on fleek, Frankie!

This thread is on point.

And more importantly... I want a sub now.

I'll bet he's a spoiled little brat whose parents give him pretty much what ever he wants.

Remember GoFundMe takes 8% or something so if you are going to fund sandwiches, make sure to cover the fees or the poor person may starve.

WTF happened to the OP?

He hasn't come back to this thread, or the thread on SVTP ...

Maybe he blew up the engine on his Ducatti too and is busy blaming somebody else for it?

Not Chicken Parm, but I just made these meatball wonders for the crew working today. There is a little benie for having to work on Sunday.

Must be busy trying to sell his Ducati. According to instagram he's asking $15,000 for it.

 

[Wes06]

hell he has his ducati up for sale on this board too, just check his past posts

even has phone number on there to contact. lol

 

[Jyard]

Oh, damn. I didn't realize that was also him selling that. Also, I figure that some people just can't take criticism and run away from it. I don't know why anyone would try to do something like this and think people would fund it.

Your meat ball sandwiches inspired me, its no chicken parmesan but tasty nonetheless

Is this where I ask for money to compensate for my past mistakes?

Cus I just had a second bowl of my spicy chili without thought for my poor anus... I'm gonna need at least $16 to compensate.....

 

[Wes06]

^^^ bahaha

Im gonna need some money too, I havent blown my block, my tranmission, driveshaft, or ruined my rear axle yet.

but imagine if I DID!!!! I need money to replace them all with beefed up components so I dont have to worry, If everyone here donates a few hundred a piece I'll be there in no time

Does this include ex girlfriends? I'm going to need a million or so.

If he's trying to sell the Ducati then maybe he is doing whatever he can to rectify his mistakes and work through the situation. I don't know about any of you perfect people but I made a shit ton of bad choices in my teens and twenties. Hell, I didn't start making smart choices until I was in my mid thirties. I know it's fun to pile on the dumbass but at some point you gotta stop and realize that maybe enough is enough.

I hope he's able to work through this situation and it hurts just enough that he learns something about money management. It's not his fault his parents gave him whatever he wanted and now he has to start paying his own way. It's a tough transition but hopefully he becomes a better man for it.

 

[07 Boss]

Wait. So this douchebag is asking for money and he has the means to raise it himself? How do we comment on his gofund page?

No I haven't. I'm sure there is another side to it.

There is a huge other side. That law is open to all sorts of abuse by the "chiseler" portion of the buying public. There is a segment of the population that makes it their duty to screw retailers over as much and as often as possible. Then there is the portion of the population that is so ignorant that they can't even understand when they're in the wrong. Between the two they can hurt a dealer pretty bad.

I never sold cars, but I was in the powersports industry for a long time (same-ish). If we had a law like that I would NEVER EVER sell a used unit. they are already a huge PITA.

This...^^^

My father was for over 35 years and had to abide by the laws quoted. It makes dealers provide a minimum standard and stand behind the product they sell. It's not a bad law. Protects buyers from unscrupulous dealers.

My father just sold solid quality used cars. Only had a hand full of issues over the years. You price the car with a buffer, like insurance. Low risk, low add. Higher risk, higher add. Too much risk, sell it at dealer auction.

These are different times. Retail has changed a lot in the US. The margins that were around pre 2005ish are all but gone. Can it be done? Sure, look at CarMax. But for a small independent it's harder to absorb the hits.

...and this...^^^





Also consider vehicles are machines that break. I have seen countless new vehicle purchases come back to the store on a flatbed. Was it due to an unscrupulous dealer? Nope. It just broke. Margins are already thin enough these days to have to add the cost of someone tearing up a vehicle and then trying to bring it back on the dealer's dime. Buy from a reputable dealer and these things are less likely but can still happen. Caveat Emptor. You buy a used car to save thousands over buying new, understand the risks that come along with it.


OH, and...
