On a side not this is what happens when you use a tire with a very stiff side wall not meant for drag racing and keep your foot in it expecting it to stop spinning.

“going to” and actually putting money down on it are two different things

I needed to drive it some to make sure it had enough run cycles to be 100% it would pass NYSI on the computer, I mean I probably didnt drive it but 50 miles after Chuck tuned the codes out of it, you did say I had to get it inspected in order for you to buy it right?

Not trying to be a dick but you make it sound like I intentionally wrecked a car you had dibs on

Truth be told I hadnt seen a penny for it and there was no sense letting it sit here for weeks while I pay insurance on it

Its being fixed as we speak

I have said it like 5 times, it was an accident, obviously it wasnt my intent to sabatoge the sale

at any rate the car will be fixed hopefully in a few weeks
