Sorry to keep you hanging gang...
I was waiting to hear back from a "friend" in the resto shop as to the status of my car but he was away last week. Today he is back and he said the Cuda was allegedly painted and packed up, unassembled in an enclosed trailer out back. But has not seen it yet. He said he will do some more "fishing" tomorrow.
I spoke with my attorney last week and she is well prepared to do battle if necessary and says they have no legal right to hold my car hostage. She asked that I make one more trip down to the resto shop tomorrow to see if we can work this out as adults. If they are unwilling to budge, I will call her and they will get a court order to release the car into my custody.
The only problem is that all of the judges are away this week on a seminar so we can't get a court order until Monday. I don't want to tip my hand with the "court order" card until I pull up on Monday with my trailer and a sheriff with a court order in his hand. Then the whole process of consumer fraud litigation will begin.
Let the games begin...
Nobody F***s with my Cuda...period.
