[DeTomaso] Pandora's about to turn ugly

[Mike Thomas]

Chris - don't continue to chew the same gristle on this.  You can't continue
to leave it up to these clowns to a damn thing for you.  I wouldn't even
consider there to any warranty on your motor any more as that would mean
taking it back to Dale, and he's proven you get nowhere doing that.

YOU have to get a truck or trailer and show up to remove the car.  You wait
for him to retrieve it and who knows what will be missing.  Stop being the
nice guy on this and GET YOUR FRIGGIN' CAR BACK!

First, thanks to all of you who have expressed helpful opinions about my
poor missing Pantera (which isn't really missing now, since I know it's
location, but it's missing from my garage, nonetheless).

 

Today I called the engine builder one final time (the place where I dropped
it off almost 8 weeks ago) and told him I finally met his mechanic friend
who has the car.  I told him I was not really confident in the mechanic's
abilities, let alone timeliness, and I wanted the car back by Thursday.

 

He apologized profusely about the situation and said he wished he'd never
used Randy (the mechanic). 

 

Here's where it turns ugly.  

 

He said he would try calling Randy, but when I pressed that I wanted my car
delivered to my house by Thursday, either together or in pieces, he said he
had no way to get it.  He sounded irritated that I would expect him to do
anything more than try to call Randy, especially when I told him he should
just do what I had to do on Saturday, namely physically drive out to Randy's
house.  (Randy, as you'll remember, has a penchanct for ignoring phone
calls).

 

He seemed to indicated that since I had talked to Randy, now it was my
problem.  I gave him Randy's home address and suggested he hire a flatbed to
get me my car back.

 

I'm speaking with an attorney tomorrow at 3:30 PM.

 

Sincerely,

 

Chris
