Ok , if it is now your business here is the story i sold chris some parts ........... i assume that they were fine!!
Actually...
(not that it matters.. seriously... I really dont give a rats a$$.. but...)
I paid Joe exactly and directly 300$ in one foul swoop for the QA1 front struts I bought from him. I *also* asked him if I could buy the tubular A-arms from him. He said sure... I pointed out that I didnt have all the cash now, but that I wasnt going to put them on. $125 was the price. I went to paypal him 77$ I had in paypal but I couldnt get a full email out of him for a paypal. I got "forcepwr" in an email, but after a couple IMs saying "I need the whole email address", I finally asked Jon at KK and he and Paul gave me the complete address. I immediately wired the 77$ with a note to email me back letting me know if he got the whole 77$, since Paypal sometimes takes a chunk, and I didnt want him paying it. I heard back right away from Joe that there was still 46.xx$ left to pay. I told him tha tthe next moment I had $$$ in the account, 47 of it would go his way. At this point... I got a new job, accross town, and hadnt had a chance to even think about KK, Jon, Paul, Joe, etc. I totally forgot the 46.xx$ thing. As I mentioned, my bad. SO a couple months later I get through all of this and put money in Paypal just so that we can get this out of the way. I dont like owing money, and I especially dont want people to think its something I normally do. In fact... I dont know of anyone else that I have owed funds to recently.
Along the way, I found out the struts that I bought from Joe were blown. I sent them off to
www.naake.com and they rebuilt both of them for 180$. I also had spent 60$ trying to get the local shock guy to fix them (didnt work). I got them back... they worked, and I got the great launch photo that I posted. Turns out today that I have found that my shocks have drained themselves of oil again. Blown. Probably just QA1's being total cr@p. I'll probably throw them on a shelf and spend another $450 putting some Tokico drag coilovers up front.
That story isnt designed to be implicating of anyone... I just want the absolute truth out there, no matter how mundane it might be. I didnt ask Joe to pay all these bills and I dont expect him to. Rubbin's racin' as they say.
Now... Lets move on.
