there's no way he'd get more than 5k at the dealer tho...it would have to be returned to stock completely. and even then, that wont add much value.

persevere dude. you'll get rid of it eventually

Wtf is your problem Thomas, im not looking for sympathy at all, im just somewhat annoyed and pissed off that ive had 2 "Serious" deals that they said they couldnt buy it within a day of the date they were supposed to buy it. This has gone on the last 2 months, since december 1st. Im merely informing the "DFW Crew" of whats going on, besides, do you really think im going to give my car away to a dealer for 5k? psh, lowest id go selling it to a dealer would have to be 9.5K, 9k only if a miracle happened, and I know even that wont happen. Ive posted my car on Craigslist since roughly October, then stopped and went to Autotrader. So please refrain from sarcasm here Thomas, or use your brain.

I'm just saying if you wanted it gone bad enough it would be gone. When you want something bad enough you always find a way.

Yes Thomas, kind of like wanting to get Clear corners? If i remember correctly you whined about those forever...

There is a smart way and a not-so smart way to go, and its not basically giving away my car and only getting $5,000. That is not smart at all.

Yes when you want something bad enough you always find a way, but theres a smart way and its not giving away my car. If the price to pay is to wait to sell my car to a private dealer then I will, but I will not give away my car and take MORE time to pay off the $5,000 i didnt get by waiting.

Thomas, im done here as you should be as well, you should understand this... And i dont understand why you are challenging this because you, a smart guy i presume, wouldnt make a choice like that so lets stop and call no harm no foul...

Meh, you say one thing I say another. I never found them at a price I liked, so I had to eventually bite the bullet and buy them for what people where selling them for. I wanted it bad enough and I got it.

I hear alot of talk about numbers, yet no real experience from trying to actually do so.

I suggest not arguing smart ways to go about things. You’re the one that modded your car when you knew you wanted sell it sooner rather than latter. Everything in life is an opportunity cost. You spend money on this and you don’t have it for that.

I have no problem with you saying your done, but you don’t get to say when I'm done. As long as you argue points that I see fit to respond I will continue. That’s how I've always rolled. As far as my choices and intelligence are concerned I would tell you that there is difference between knowledge and experience. Take that for what you will.

It's at Flips Patio Grill in Grapevine. Here's a google maps link: FLIPS

We usually try to park together, but there may or may not be enough parking for everyone. Look forward to seeing you there!

Meh, couldnt see it due to a block at work, but judging from the link I'd say you were wrong because we actually know each other in physical form and can actually duke it out should the situation require/demand it (no I am not calling for a fist fight lol)

Would be funny though. my first 8 meet and you guys get into a fight. Not even the 7 club is that crazy and we have put spinkles in an fb tailpipe and then started a car and allowed it to cover an ice cream cone and ate it


That might be why you guys don't come out to the 7 meet hahha

LOL. Well I guess since I am the group "mom" I can say this: I think of it as kind of a big family, and honestly what family doesnt have its drama? We all pick at each other and understandably it gets out of hand sometimes, but at the end of the day we just move on. Your story on the other hand.... thats just gross!
