Sorry if I'm coming off as a dick right now, but I'm real pissed.
I originally was going to buy a rebuilt T2 Garrett turbo. I was, and still am, in urgent need of one as mine has ate the center housing gasket. I stumbled upon this guy selling it and PMed the hell out of him to get in touch with me. He doesn't live more than 200 miles away from me, maybe even 150. I was going to go to his house and pick it up.
Okay he FINALLY got back in touch with me practically a week after me sending him the first PM and gave me his number. I called him and made arrangements to meet halfway today to do this deal. He sends me a PM 2 days ago and says this:

i had a guy say that he was sending a money order and it hasen't got here yet but i'll let u know tomorrow if it get here he keeps saying it will be here but hasent so i'll let u asap"
I never got a phone call or PM back within these past two days. WTF dude? Nothing. No contact ever tried. This is not how deals normally go down in the TM community. I've been around this group long enough to know how people usually are. This is not how things should be.
Anyways, I called him about 20 minutes ago to verify that I was leaving and I never got ahold of him. Tried his cell and house. Then I got on TM and found the PM. Yah, that's the right way to get ahold of somebody... through PM. :rolleyes: I don't have much time to get on the internet anymore, basically I only can at work between customers.
I got the car gassed up today for the trip and got $150 in my pocket. I made plans for this today. I made all my plans around this ordeal.
Thanks for screwing me here Roy!
Ugh, okay, I'm done. I got less than 6 days now to find a turbo. I'm rebuilding the motor this weekend.
