Angry need to vent to people that should understand

so as some of you may have seen i was selling my chassis on here and craigslist. this was my first rx7 and i was hoping i would keep it. but due to certain reason i can not hold onto it.

well i was going to send it to pnp and the other week when i called them they offered 175. when i called today they said the would only give me 40 bucks now. then i didn't have access to the trailer that i did before so i asked how much picked up and they said i would HAVE TO PAY 5 dollars to give it to them. well **** that is what i said.

i called another recycler and they said 64 picked up so i said whatever it has to be gone today. so i wait around for him to come. watch him load it onto a trailer and drive off. then about 20 minutes later i had to go with my friend to osh and what do i see 2 BLOCKS AWAY on the SAME street my day car parked in a driveway. that *** took it to his house dropped it off the flatbed and went back to the yard. what an ***. its not the fact that he kinda got one over on me its the fact that its two blocks away from my friends house which i go to a lot. it pissed me off so much. i was already mad because i no longer have my car but now i gotta see it every damn time i go to his house. i hope he restores it right or makes it nice. does what i couldn't do right now. im just really mad and well sad about it.

i don't know i am just pissed.

Sounds like you need a night at a good bar to let her go emotionally...since you still have passion for it (the sport & the car), I'd say plan out your next one, whatever it will be. It will let you channel the energy that right now is turning you sour.

And the tow truck driver is a douche canoe.

as long as he makes it runs again who cares what motor he uses, better than seeing it go to the crusher like it would have.

So your mad because you sold your car, and instead of it being taken to a crusher, someone decided to keep it.

Now i understand your thread title and why you used the word should instead of "will".

Plus One to Wacky's Post.

I hope he does a V8 swap to it. Where is he at? Maybe i can give him a hand.

a check cashing place will run out of cash before wacky!!!! I have lots of plastic and beer bottles to recycle, well, my neighbors arent aware of that yet.

Nah, I had other plans for the weekend so I didnt go plus Im not really a car show type of person. Past 3 JCCS events, I parked my car and went home, then came back before closing.

yeah i was just pissed for the day. after everything i calmed down. i prefer the fact that he kept it and didn't junk it. but does he have to live two blocks down on the same street. so i have to look at my project car that i couldn't complete get completed. idk i will probably end up asking the guy if he needs a hand.

thanks for the commentary everyone. i needed comedy more then anything. and i don't care about some of you being jerks. were all from california its just kinda how were are.
