Sorry to hear about the loss of your car. Was that over a $250 tow bill? You lost your dream car over $250?

Why do you think a guy's bad luck is funny?

You've heard it before but maybe it's time you hear it again... Don't be a dick...

Maybe change your tag to Troll986?

I like your posts, and find that you render up some solid advice. You're one of a few on this forum that, in my opinion, carries some great cred.

I supppose when it comes to an obvious "begs the question" post you sdimply miss the mark. I won't get into a written sparring match with you.

I thought nothing was funny about his post. The car looks beautiful. He lost it, and his explanation left me wondering.

You're telling me that when you read his post that certain of his points didn't raise an eyebrow? You're telling me that certain of his points didn't meet the "acid test"?

I don't know how you missed them. However, I had a few questions regarding his unfortunate circumstance and, to keep my inquiries to a minimum chose the $250 route.

Guy had a minor collision... had to have the car towed... had a bunch of custom parts on it... and was sold at auction. Now... I've had my car towed, and never was a tow bill equal to or exceeding the value of the car. I figured that a $250 tow bill was a good place to start... and was genuine in my inquiry. I believe you to be a smart fella, based upon your posts... but how you missed the obvious begging questions leaves me a little confused.

Maybe you had a bad day when you left that comment. I hope all is well, and look forward to learning more from your posts. Cheers!

Starter, I do agree with you that the circumstances seemed odd. I don't think it's any of our place though to judge that, or the guy. He's looking for help, not looking for us to add insult to injury. Maybe I'm wrong and he's a scammer trying to look for a mark...in which case I'm the **************************** for standing up for him. I'm not looking for a pissing match either, and I appreciate your compliments. I just want this forum to be a supportive place for discussion. Lord knows the frequency of postings over the last few years has gone to ****************, and I don't want any of us to make that any worse.

I think we all need more info on this. If it was in an accident then insurance we prob involved which then means someone got a check for the insurance company to take ownership which is required for it to go to auction...now if there was something going on with the tow from an accident then I can absolutely see the tow company trying to screw someone with "storage fees" which after 30 days could very well equal the price of a car sometimes. I have seen as high as $120/day charges.

In the end though my only question is how the OP knows it actually sold at auction

[dghii]

Could have sworn I saw it on Peachtree last weekend.....

Sorry but this just doesn't add up. I can't find this car on any of the national auction sites and it hasn't been reported through the NICB database. It's possible no insurance was involved or it went through some local auction but given that the OP says he was 15 last year it just doesnt sound right.

Now, if you really want to know where it is just go to any local DMV and give them the vin. They can provide a report of the car for a fee as part of open records acts that every state has, that is, if any of this is really legit.
