Read him the riot act

[Flatlander]

Well, I'm going to get my cutlass back. The dinga-ling had it for 10 months and hasn't even touched it. I've been busy for the past several months and haven't been able to keep up with everything so I've let that project slide. In the mean time the body guy opened an auto mech. shop last Oct. and shedded my car. Over the last two months I'd stopped in to see it but it's never been a good time for him. Finally I let his brother(who happened to answer the phone) have it about suspecting he'd gotten rid of it and my willingness to report it stolen. Boy, that got a quick response from the body guy. What makes me mad is the run-around, why not be honest. Just the truth would be great sometimes. He could of said "Hey, I'm too busy to do the car, you'll need to find someone else". criminnie:angry4:

It rained so I went into town and had a discussion with my body guy. The car will be done by the end of May, to my specifications, at bid price, and I have it in writing.

.......fingers crossed........
