Benefit of the doubt till we know what happened. Possibly he had a family emergency. Either way though he should make it right and bring the parts to you now, and maybe knock a few bucks off.

I'm not mad or anything.i understand things happen beyond our control.I did have a good drive down and back even though the temperature was 96 and NO I never use the AC that is why the wife stayed home and went shopping.It would have been a more pleasant drive in the Boxster but the parts would have been to large to haul.I was just curious how others would have handled it.
