I do this about once a year so the OGs have seen this, but for the new people I pose something to think about: Think back to when you were a young kid. What did you want to be when you grew up? It was probably something you may consider unreasonable now. A firefighters, astronaut, super hero, princess whatever. The title is not important, but what is important is the reasons why. At the end of the day it was probably the virtues. Loyalty, bravery, responsibility, whatever those traits were think about them. Now think about the way you are living your life now? Would the 7 year old version of you be happy with who you are? I think very few of us could truthfully answer yes. For those who say no, what was the issue? Do you not find those desirable traits anymore, or is it an issue of responsibility or social dogmas? Maybe the world just doesn't feel as shiny and new to you anymore. Whatever the case is, why sit back and justify falling short on a childhood dream? So few dreams can be realized why not take the easy ones. No one says you cannot have the traits of a super hero and the job title of loan officer, or the responsibility and glamor of a princess and the title of service manager. With so many things apparently wrong in the world around us, why not take a look at the world within us and expand on what we can. Its too easy on a day to day basis to make excuses. All of us have a nagging regret in the back of our mind. Maybe something we didn't do or someone we screwed over but justified it and say it was so long ago it doesn't matter anymore. Maybe it doesn't matter, but fixing yourself can be the start of fixing everything around. Take it for what you will guys,

It's faster than my T(om)5 :lol:

:lol: I know your lawyer Friend he is the man :lol:

Thanks to Bob and those involved. I was promised a turbo, was never sent it, disputed via PayPal, was told he couldn't send it until the dispute was reneged... was told it was sent, wasn't given a tracking number, couldn't reopen dispute via PP website. Called today on the LAST day of the 45 day guarantee. PP has re-opened the dispute and he can either 1) send a tracking #, 2) issue a refund within 11 days. If he takes no action, I get my $ back. PP told me that anyone OVER the 45 days is SOL through their guarantee, but the party involved is more than welcome to file a dispute with whoever issued the funds (credit card, bank, etc). NOW, here's the fun part... in addition to Bob being the man, my lawyer (an awesome Volvo guy by the way) sent me this: "Worse case scenario, best, and most cost effective would be to file with the US attorney general (as the fraud involves interestate mail and wired funds) and the state attorney general. Free. Typically quick online form for complaint. And it does work." I'd suggest all who have been slighted consider taking this course of action. I'll be damned if some punk thinks he can get away with interstate e-robbery!

Damn this sucks. My only bad experience here was with Boomin850 but I at least got something in the end. It just seems like there is a thread like this every month or so now. I wish you all luck in getting your parts and/or money back.

I was going to be an athlete, football. I was faster, could jump higher and was tougher than anyone I played with. I read books on running techniques, tackling, blocking. I watched games religiously old and new. I was 10 yrs old. This physical ability continued thru high school. Problem was, I broke my leg when I was 13 and Pops said find a new fall sport. Shattered. So I played soccer instead. It got me into college, but my brain was not in gear so the next dream of being a graphic designer fell by the wayside. Odd jobs, part time school, and partying. Then I met my wife. And college came back to me, an viola! I'm an Electronics tech, with a wife of impeccable class. And patience. So my goal changed, pay the rent yadda yadda. Then 2 sons and a mortgage. And 3 layoffs in 10 yrs. Scramble to pay the bills, but they always got paid. Then the boys grew up and needed coaches for baseball, etc. I was there, nearly every game and practice for 10 yrs. Then we discovered learning disabilities. They needed special attention from us, both to maintain focus, and to work with the school system. #2 just graduated. Next fall booth will be in college. My dreams were replaced with real life. I did my best, I hope. Only time will tell. Now my dreams are based on quality time with my friends and family. I'd hope my 7 yr old self would understand, and see me as a great dad and a faithful husband. I played my hand, and hope it pays off. I think it will.

I am sorry, I am not buying that he is stealing from you guys. He is in the Army Reserves. There is like, a 99.9% chance that if he falls off the face of the communications world, he was called upon. Sean had a 100% good reputation, then stopped talking all together. He didn't PM you looking to work something out, he didn't continue to take your money in an attempt to rob Peter to pay Paul. On Sean's behalf, I am asking you guys to chill out. It sucks that he left with open transactions, but I doubt he could do a damn thing about it.

haha, so offended!

you need some yellow for the rear and maybe a yellow pin strip or something else to add in ..... :lol:

EDIT...
