Human nature is funny....people who would try to take advantage of others complain the loudest when they become the victim....

He sold the Poncho motor he had built? Why, it was bad ass, I thought.
I hate to hear when anyone get's screwed, Body guy's are a different breed.
All that advice went out the window........:o

It's a shame really, young kid, obviously great car tastes, very enthusiastic, just a bad people person. Greed is a hard thing to overcome.
Gonna be a $75 K car when it's all done, if ever.:eek:
It comes and it goes...hard lesson, maybe he will learn a good one now.

I've read the threads on Bryan, and others and am left with the question why so much hatred for this kid. After all, everyone new he was young and dumb, just learning about cars, and with little or no experience. the complaints about losing relatively small amounts of money on some relatively cheap parts from a young kid that didn't know any better begs the question of how many does it take to dance (the answer is two). Who's taking responsibility for having age and wisdom on their side for the other end of the deal. come on, cut the kid some slack. Where's all the age and wisdom if he got the best of the deals, peronally, I'd keep quiet if I got blanked by a babe in the woods. My only question is this, why crucify the kid far worse than folks like Flopper, et al, who have rip off down to a science, and have done so for years.

he should get a job at "the parts place" he would fit in good over there.

[Brian Baker]

The kid was a scoundrel of the first order. He's old enough to know the difference between "show quality" parts and "junk", which is how he was advertising some of the junk he sold. The straw that broke the camel's back was when he acted as a middleman on a sale of a car tp another board member, only to pull back the offer after the board member had already sent payment and made arrangements to pick up the car. Why'd he pull back the offer? His father decided he wanted the car and offered more money, after the kid had already sealed the deal. In fact, scoundrel is a nice word.

he got screwed on the motor he had rebuilt, too (supposedly)

he tore it down to put a new cam in it to make it a bit higher HP and found all used parts - an engine he had shipped from the east coast

motor had been crappy-bored (had lots of marks) and had other issues

he ended up selling it on ebay - buyer backed out after he heard shipping costs from california to florida


now he's doing a different motor, 400 stroker 455 - etc etc

he hasn't had any luck at all

The "hatred", or more fair of a word is disdain is because the kid was young, but not inexperieced as a con-artist. He knew exactly what he was doing and used that age excuse as just that.... an excuse when he started getting caught. I was one of the ones who he promised to sell a part for a certain price, then started getting excuses on why he couldn't keep up his end of the deal, only to find out that at the same time he was making excuses for not executing the deal, the parts were actually on e-bay fishing for a higher price. Experience has nothing to do with business practices such as this, just a total lack of integrety. He's just another Flopper in the making as far as i'm concerned.

Oh yeah, his comments on the "boobs" thread were outragious.

Thanks for the reminder.

Does anyone know which 'chevy' shop it's at? I know a few around here.

Oh, shouldn't he be going on his 2 year missionary work soon? He promised to leave CA for the "homeland".

I think a bunch of people were trying to be very nice and patient, suggesting he slow down and think about what he wants to do with the car, and he kept changing his plans.

It was sad until he kept screwing everyone around. Remember the headers that were brand new?

[baron_]

all i'd heard about the chevy shop is that it's one of the new ones
some guy started his own shop and supposedly, bryan's motor was the first in - which was like 8 months ago (and it isn't only chevy - he does everything)

he says the guy does great work and is pretty renowned


but it's my opinion he's getting screwed there too, based on the $ he said he's put out and the fact that the guy hasn't even started working on his motor
supposedly hasn't even ordered parts like the pistons, or started portwork on the KRE's he bought

well, I hope this punk at least gets a reach around while he's getting screwed like he's screwed others :rolleyes:

[mitchgto]

From what I understand he was highly medicated for a few disorders. That doesnt jusify his dealings but I find it odd that this kid that is highly doped up giving advice is pretty pathetic.
