I'll take a shot at the translation:

His dealer has laryngitis and spends most of the time in the bathroom.

The second line is confusing. If he knows nothing of "it", how does he know that it is a swap meet???

He's found other "soucres"??? Does he mean sour crout? Or watercress? Either way, sounds like he's lost interest in the Ferrari and is heading to the local deli for lunch.

Nuts and Rats? Sounds like he's switching from head bolts to studs and nuts on his new 427 Rat powered Chevy.

Guess he gave up on the 550 after one posting.

I think I understand,

Bought the car from a dealer,
The dealer will not return calls,
The dealer sponsors a swap meet/car show/picnic and he isn't invited,
So he says the heck with the dealer, I'm spending my money somewhere else.


Do I win a prize?

I think he bought a car from his dealer, who sold it and forgot about him. Like getting pumped in the arse and then never called back, right?

Then, he found out about a Ferrari swap meet that the dealer knew about, but never informed him of.

He then bought (or found) another source for parts.

Now he is beginning to question the amount of value that the dealership he bought the car from puts into him.

No Jordon,
I think what he's trying to say is, he bought a used 550 from a private party. Now his dealer is cutting him off(ie"no soup for you!").
Anyone else wanna give it a shot?

Let me try:

So you bought the used car from the dealer, he is not as chatty with you as before (aka does not tell you about local events), and now you do not want to give him anymore business?
