O.k. I got an amazing deal on a black on black BMW. So me being the "G" that I beeez i had to jump up on it. Well since its used, the old saying is .....when buying a used car means you are really buying someone else's junk! Naah, eye was kidding, my car isn't that bad, it just needed struts. I called BMW and they was talking about enough money to fly me on the space shuttle and back. I went all Amy Whinehouse on them and said NO-NO-NO!
What was a brutha to do? Hummm????? I know I went to Craigslist and guess who I found? Yelp....Bob! I couldn't believe it, but this was the same drunk crack head who fixed my Acura earlier this year. How could I forget him? He was suppose to show up back then at 6pm and somehow made it at Midnight. I swore I wouldn't use him again. He brought his ghetto girl friend who walked all around my yard stealing my bottled waters I keep in the garage. Anywho, I spoke to him on the phone and he said he would do the struts on my BMW 4 $150 so I was very interested. I was so thrilled and the low low price that I didn't even catch his voice. Well he said he was be over at 2pm. He didn't show, so I called him. He said he would be there at 5pm now. He didn't show up but called at 9pm and said he would be there at 7am the next day. He was there so....i called him and he said he was packing up and on his way. He got 2 my home about 10ish. He smelled of alcohol and booty crumbs. I remember thinking this will not turn out good. This dude swore he use to fix BMW's in Florida for years, but when he asked me how to open the hood and trunk!!!! I know he was straight lying. He then says how nice the car is. Then he says his price doubled because he has to do a lot of work to repair it and how he misquoted the job. I said its cool, just put the wheels back on and we can complete the job Saturday. He tried to let the car down with out putting the screws back in the struts and broke two off. Somehow we got one to stick and put the car back together. He had the nerve to ask me for a $50 deposit to make my payment less money when he returns. I looked him straight in his drunk eyes and said Nope I want to wait until you do the work. He said my gas ain't free. I said I can respect that...here is $20 for your trouble. He was like o.k. but make sure you call me back cuz I am gonna research how to fix your car. He grabbed his dog (yeah he brought a mutt)and got his his confederate flag truck and nosily rolled off.
You and I both know I will never see Boob again unless I have to go do a police line up!
I learned sometimes, I/you gotta pay more to have peace of mind and a safe car! Don't get it twisted, I will still find some inexpensive mechanics on craigslist, but I just will go with my gut. Hold on I said a homeless man walking down the street with a will work for food sign, I wonder can he pull a transmission for a sandwich? I guess old habits die hard!
I am Ward...
