Ok just a little vent...I get rearended by some assclown while I'm on my bike (a few weeks ago), I have an FD ss manifold I can't use and noone seems to want $960 down the *******!! i drop 1Revven an *** load to build me a really custom manifold, money WELL spent!!! so not upset about that one. Car goes in for service $640, day after the clutch takes a ****!!! parts and work $740, drop a butt load more cash to 1Revvin for more trick work again money well spent. Saturday Frige takes a huge crap and leaks water everywhere, turkey and post roast gone beer warm and undrinkable!!! $805!!! Place doing the french door and new windows in my house forgot to give me the price for the french door..quoted me for a slider $1250 extra on top of the 3200!!!! I might also have to pay for some scraches that some Mexican dudes with there grounds keeping trucks put into my dads truck when they parked really close to it and dragged some tree branches across the front qurater pannel.



some one help a brother out and give me 600 for the ss manifold!!!!

maybe if you avoided the "real expensive custom trick" stuff you wouldn't be so forlorn? or you at least need to budget better, and read quotes better, or get a written agreement.



but other then that, i feel ya.

Anytime you have work done on your house you can pretty much add 50% over the cost quoted, they ******* rip you, there are very few honest contractors left.

Life has a way of biting you in the wallet every now and again.
