Just an update on my search for that 1 of 0 solid 24 kt gold engine block--

Me:
How'd you make out this weekend with the motors? Pick them up?
Him:
None were good
All cores
Me:
Jesus Christ!!!!
Now what??
Have any ideas?
Him:
Trying to find another

So I'm getting close :mad:

I'll probably be dead by the time he gets one.

How does a guy keep a shop open when operating like this? That's an awful lot of time and resources wasted to come back with nothing that'll make him money. Something doesn't smell right to me.

Because my job is the side job--gets pushed back again while working on real customer's cars I guess. I think I should go on some pysch meds before I ____ a muthafuka.
Even being a side job, your still a paying customer. The guys that I work with do side stuff, trust me they would have had you running in a couple days, tops.

I hate to say it, but I’m guessing he’s hoping that you are gonna say “screw it, I’m taking it someplace else”. I just don’t think he’s telling you the whole story and it’s actually worse than what you’ve been told.

I totally believe it.

I hope that's not the case.

Everybody here has your back, just wish there was a way for us to help out. Other than being a little more forceful and giving him a deadline, I’m not sure what you can do, other than taking it someplace else.
