1.) I see a big issue here in the fact that we're going off of the infamous "he said she said" analysis.

You are incorrect bryan. It is called personal experience also known as references in the business world.

2.) I am an honest businessman, enough said. I do what I can to help others, the problem is I'm only human. Not everyone is going to like me, and not everyone is going to get along with me, either.

You are not honest. If you were, the people on this board that have had sucessful business transactions with one another, would not be wondering where their $130 is at or why they were over charged significantly for shipping, or why they were not given the correct merchandise. You are right that not everyone is going to like you, but a mass majority from this board doesn't.

3.) Have I ever tried to be a "con artist" as you say??? I've tried to be a loyal asset to the PY boards...and while I know I probably know absolutely know nothing about anything...it doesn't mean I can't make some mistakes and correct myself from that.

You are not loyal.
How did you correct with selling Baron an incorrectly described carb?
How did you correct yourself with 66 GTO trying to sell him a car that you said you had at your house?
How did you correct yourself with overcharging freigth on a distributor?
Did you ever thank Kurt for donating to start your business?
How did you correct yourself for flopping on the headers?

4.) You need to realize that I really do like Pontiacs. It's all I like. It's my passion, I wak up in the morning and it's all I can really think about.

If pontiacs are your passion, you are the first Pontiac Enthusiast that is not worth knowing or mentioning.

5.) Mabye I come off as arrogant or stupid, but mabye that's how I come across. I can't change that overnight.

We deal with arrogance and stupidity on this board daily. It is why we are here and ask the questions we do. We don't care to deal with a con artist. That is the issue here.

6.) One thing I am sick of seeing in our hobby is the failure of acceptance for the next generation of Pontiac lovers. You know why so many kids my age buy hondas or chevys??? The people who own them want to be open about their hobby!!! I swear, whenever I go to an all pontiac car show or a gtoaa meet...everyone thinks I shouldn't be there. I saw one guy at a show with a really neat 71 GT-37. I tried to ask him some questions about it and if it was original. Here I am with a pontiac hat, a GTO shirt...a binder of pictures of my car with my phs docs in my hand, and he tells me to buzz off and play with my other Honda friends. Like I'm just some stupid kid who doesn't know anything but to tie my own shoes. Well you know what??? I'm out there literally having to figure it out myself on my gto because you guys think that only the old geezers should be allowed in! Well guess what, believe it or not that's not going to scare me off. Just because I wasn't around when these cars were at their heyday doesn't mean I love them any less. But it really is the other people in this hobby that take the fun out of it. I stopped going to gtoaa chapter meetings because of just the general attitude towards me being the youngest member there, like I didn['t belong or that I wasn't worthwhile. So you know what??? I enjoy my Pontiac by myself!!! Which is upsetting to me because I like meeting up with other like minded people. But I'm sick of the attitude I get when I try to talk to "Mr. Pontiac" about a 428 YH code engine, and he trieds to downplay whatever I say. So I stay away, son't go to car shows and whorde all my knowledge and Pontiac parts to myself. You guys are losing a real asset to the hobby if you make me feel that way.

It is not your age that people find wrong with you. I was your age going to a GTO swap meets, car shows, etc... I never had a person be rude to me. Even the "elderly man" that had his GTO out.

7.) Con artist??? How have I ever been a con artist??? And how is 600 bucks unreasonable??? You want a car? Go find it yourself. I'm a full time student . I take time out of my day to go and find this stuff for other people out of the kindness I have, but I can't do it for free either. I have a GTO that I am literally paying for out of pocket now...and I have bills to pay on it. And I think for that, 600 is fair. I describe everything I sell or try to sell, and I do my best to my knowledge to help anybody with a Pontiac to make them happy. Yes, I'm in it for the money but I enjoy this hobby as well.

I didn't complain about the finders fee up front, because I knew it was going into your car. I personally would only ask for a dinner sometime for a finders fee, but 600 dollars is really being rediculous. That is 9% of the overall price of the car! What I have a problem with is I am paying that much money for a service that once we struck a deal, you say, "uh my dad is now interested in the car". I am still in college, work full time, and I am trying to run a household with a mortgage. If you want to play the song and dance game, we can all join you. We do not pitty you. Welcome to the real world.

I don't need to explain myself anymore. But I'm almost to the point where I'd rather be a Pontiac guy who whordes all the Pontiac parts I have to myself, anything about my car, or any help I can give...and say get lost. I really enjoy anything Pontiac, but some of you guys really take the enjoyment out of it.

And people like you take the enjoyment out of it for us too. You would only be doing yourself a favor whording all the pontiac parts you have. From the sounds of it, it is all crap.
