Thanks mang. I was torn but it was dirt cheap so I figured if I didn't like it I wouldn't be out much. Fortunatly I really dig it.

Arnt you the guy that brings this up in every thread?


Ok folks so heres the dealio. I was broke, had no job and have a hernia directly above my belly button. Only one of those hasn't changed. Still have the hernia. Mass pain killers and a hernia belt has helped to keep it in check as I await my medical insurance.

I went through a tough spot with nothing and some kind people here helped me through the worst of it. Others behaved like ass hats.

Now I am not in the habit of taking handouts nor am I a lazy person that will go get food stamps and government aid or early SSI or SS. No, I worked my ass off for several months and repaid all my debt then tried to give money to those that sent me "gifts" to help me out in my toughest spots last year. All have declined yet I know there are two people I am forgetting but the info was saved on a now dead PC so for the two people I haven't contacted, if you want the funds back then please PM me and I will send it out ASAP. I still speak to Kyle and he has also refused the $50 back from the $50 he took off the price of the Regal.
I continued to work 7 days a week from sunup to 2am to save and get myself back on my feet. Caught up with all my bills and have zero debt. I finally sold my property so I can open an actual service/performance shop near Waco. Its almost ready and should be open next month.
I payed my help forward and gave a single mom I know a Continental I bought and repaired to help her through tough times. I also gave my best friend a Mark VIII cause his is dead and he has 3 kids. Give a few bucks to the homeless guys on the corner and donated a bunch of furniture to the poor.
Thats not only stuff I do for others (only usually on a smaller scale) to help them get through tough times as others have helped me last year.

Now I am on my feet, own my own shop, have a nice little house (not mobile) in Waco, got a nice car for myself and am debt free.
I suppose I could have let my pain get the best of me and stay at home and say "woalays me" and collect welfare but I decided to make a better life for myself.

I am sorry so many here are against someone trying to better themselves.

I never got a PM, but take that $300 I gave you and pass it on to someone else in need.

THANK YOU! I was searching and searching. You are one of the people I couldnt find and was buggin me the most cause you put up so much. I will gladly send it to you though if wanted.
Passing it on though is a given. That kind of kindness has made me get through tough times and I have been doing all I can to help others. Just this morning I met an old dude in a Contour that broke down on the side of the highway. Radiator hose split and I had my tools in the BMWs trunk. I cut down the hose and got him on the way after making a run to Autozone for some coolant. Guy kept trying to pay me but I could tell he was broke and wouldnt take it. He shoved a $20 in my shirt pocket but when he wasnt looking I put it in his cup holder. LOL

I normally do what I can to help others but because I have gotten back on my feet it has really allowed me to do more and its been rewarding. Feel better about myself and it seems karma agrees cause a few months ago I had no will for anything and now I am happy with life.
