Short story.... I paid him a 2/3 deposit for a complete shell, dash, doors, title and arranged to drive out to get it (23 hours one way) the night before I was to leave, he calls me and gets all weird wanting more money and not knowing whether it was all original, then calls the deal off. it took him 3 months and NUMEROUS e-mails/phone calls to send me 1/4 of my deposit and 2 1/2 more years, ~50+ phone calls, 50 or so e-mails ('till he blocked my address and started sending me viruses as a reply) plus the FBI & local police to get another 1/2 of it. His story changed more than the Michigan weather, and that's A LOT !!!! I wonder if there ever was a car 'owned' by him or if all the pics he sent me were of someone elses car. BTW, if I ever run into him, I will get the remainder of my money whether in cash or "trade" for some physical enlightenment.
If any one wants or requires the long version, PM me so as not to start a rant session on the board. I figure a few people might know and even possibly like him so I don't want to start anything.

I still want the car, and will give him the agreed upon amount at any time.
