    Not directed toward you. It was for our newest tactless critic.

    My second favorite car was my 275GTB/4. It sounded like a symphony and every time I drove it it was like a special occasion. It handled quite well and sometimes I would worry the Borranis would collapse in a tight, fast twister . My G.O.A.T. is my Dino. It sound different than the 4 cam (the 4 cam sounded AMAZING) but overall the Dino fun ratio is the best. The looks, the engine, the handling, it's as close as I'm going to get to my S2000 Lola as I'm going to get in a Vintage sports car. As the ad said: "It's almost a Ferrari"

    Imagine dying from Covid-19 !!!!
    It's a nice car, but I don't take risks now that I've retired from racing.

    Got it. I'm going to get it painted back to it's original color. It's a California car so hopefully there will be little or no rust.

    That's right Gary, YOU DON'T KNOW HOW IT WAS REPRESENTED TO ME!!

    btw, He told me it would do very well in the Preservation Class at car shows because its all original and only painted once in its original color except Matthias Bartz said it was originally blue. When we spoke you told me you told the dealer it needed complete seats, he told me it only needed new inserts. How come one seat frame is welded and the other is screwed together? No this car wasn't going to be in Pebble Beach, but it was grossly misrepresented to me by stating only two minor problems. I asked all the pertinent questions, I even got a leak down text. He sent me $3000.00 so I guess he felt a little guilty. That paid for the MSD to get the tach accurate but I thought the rev counter was going to come here in working order.
    I'm just pissed because I've spent thousands and thousands of dollars since I bought this car in November that I shouldn't have had to spend. I was lied to by the dealer that sold me this car.

    I don't recollect you suggesting I call the trucking company, because of course I would have!!!

    I have photos, invoices, quotes of all the problems, but I'm a very private person and it's between me and the schmuck that sold it to me.

    II REGRET EVEN POSTING ON THIS FORUM

    I'm a very private person and this is between me and the guy that sold me the car. I'm certainly not going to post pictures of my cars issues.

    I regret ever posting on this forum

    No car is worth risking getting Covid and potentially getting very sick or worse. I'm no kid.

    No I'm not being disingenuous. When a car is described to me as needing 2 minor things and so far I've paid a boco bucks, he's being in disingenuous as in being a crook. I'm not going to say these well known dealers name because hopefully they will make good on their lying and of course I probably would never put their names publicly on this forum. I only want what's fair and like anybody else I don't like getting ripped off. I ran my business for 36 years and never ripped off anyone. My mistake was trusting people and not having the car inspected.
    If I was told all these things were needed on the car and then I paid top dollar, it's on me. But since they misrepresented this car, it's on them.

    I’m afraid I don’t know what multi quotes are.
    I love Bug Eyes too. My first bug I was in college and I paid $125 for it and it needed a radiator. My second Bugeye was my first race car. We had to rebuild ahead every two races because it really revved

    Click the “+Quote” button on all the quotes you want to respond to.

    Then, click the “insert quote” button.

    Then they all show up in one post.

    You can respond to each individually right below the quote.

    It makes it easier on readers than 16 separate posts.

    I wish I knew I just answered about 30 of them and I just used reply and some of them aren’t even showing up. But they all show up under my profile so I don’t understand why they’re not all posted. There’s a lot of judgemental people on this site

    OK... fair enough, except... then this begs the question.... Why post your problems - "Dino rip off, need advice" with this purchase here, or on any public forum? Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm seeing a contradiction here.
