Lets go back to Summer/Fall 03.
I had two 87 RX-7s as well as my hubby's 91. I was selling my 7's because they were rather damaged and I didn't have the money to fix them, I cried when they left.. I really did... Anyway the 87s were Red and Gold. The gold one was my original car, had a nice red interior but a beaten body... Anyway we sold it to a friend of ours who swore up an down that he was going to take care of it. Well his friend bought our 91. The first kid blew up the motor in the red one and then put the gold car's motor in it and blew it also... sold the red car... Had stripped the gold one down and I found it in a junk yard (I cried so hard). His other friend took the 91 home on our tags which expired that day. Told him to take it straight home and get us our plate.. Well about a month later we start getting calls from an insurance company.. The kid had wrecked the 91, totalled a new grandam with it... and still had our plate an no insurance on it. The insurance company was after my husband... the state was after my hubby's license. We got the situation worked out an the 91 sat in a garage... Turns out the kid who bought both of mine bought the 91 from his friend.. this whole situation makes me super ill. He's in town with it this week. Its now blue. I wish for the cars sake it was more broken.. or owned by someone else. My stomach is seriously ill... |
ouch, i feel your pain, my first 510 that i got from my aunt went to a moron who plowed it into a wall while he was drunk, i loved that car, was gonna buy it back just so another idiot wouldnt get it but he sold it before i could
|
Alright, the problem is obvious, the kid must die. Pistols get things done quickly.
|
|
im seriously considering taking the TA out to hunt his @$$ down...
|
i sold my first car to some kid and he drove it thru con fields crashed it into snow bankes, ect, very saddning
|
the jackass that bought my jeep ruined it shortly after buying it....
|
someone explain to me why we sell our cars that we work so hard to fix and take care of?
|
The guy to whom I sold my '73 RX-2 years ago ran a stop sign and got broadsided less than a month later. I was too young to be very attached to the car, but it definitely deserved a better fate.

I buddy of mine had a gallant VR-4 that was tunned nicely. He sold it to a kid and told him to not turn up the boost for long durations. But the kid didn't listen and overboosted the car. He blew the motor and turbo a couple months later and totaled it. Very sad story for a rare fast car.

I just hate seeing rx7's in the junk yard, i caress everyone i see, then take parts i need https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif then caress the parts.

dj blu's dad |
lets straighten this out... you sold it to me... i gave it to my dad for his 50th.
but since i'm a poor bastard living at home, when the car is working... i get to take your ass for rides... lol |
I know all of your pains. I had a 1967 GTX (one of 1500 made w/ the 440 and 3-spd powerglide in it), that I built, while I lived in Tampa.
That was my BABY. 660RWHP and 590ft lbs tourqe. 455 overbored/ stroked, 5-speed conversion, Racing Buckets, Full system (2 8s, 2 10s, and 2 12s), Pro-traction suspension, Pro-Street rear-end, Full Drag-spec cage, 5-point harnesses, Fuel-cell for my 119 octane. You know, the important stuff. That sucker ran the 1320 in 10.65-10.72. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif Well, I ended up gettin' into some ****, and went to jail... Car gets repo'd. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif Some kid talks his dad into buyin' it. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/ohmy.png Races a 5.0. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif Loses control, and wrecks it. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif Not just like, "Mom, I rear-ended someone," wrecks it... More like, "Get the jaws of life," wrecks it. Kid slides the car 60', and then flips it several times. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.png Everyone agreed: The paramedics, Fire and Rescue, Police, Insurance company, spectators (most people call 'em witnesses)... All of 'em. If it weren't for the cage, and harnesses, this kid'd be DEAD. I got a letter from his insurance company THANKING me for taking those precautions. Lesson learned, boys and girls? The saying, "If you love it, set it ffree..." DOES NOT APPLY TO CARS! Sorry to hear your pains. We all have a similar story. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif |
