I don't usually post on these boards...but anyways, here's my .02:
Quote:
I don't even own a Mustang....I own a Camaro (I found my way here from the 82-92 F-Body boards), and this makes me mad as hell... I've lost a car because of sleazy mechanics before, so I know how it feels...but it was replacable... take my treasured $35k pony car without asking me, and your gonna be best friends with "Mr. Tire Iron"! I hope "stangman96" is shown NO MERCY and is used as an example to all the other mechanics/techs like him that are out there! |

Wow Neph..You beat me by one minute!
I read thru all 12 pages..saw nothing from us Miata folk and figured since I've been a Mustanger since '86 I would throw my .02 cents in and give regards. The More the Merrier. In the end it doesn't matter what kind of car you drive..we can all, as consumers and enthusiasts, relate to this kind of shoddy treatment and emphasize completely. Quote:

Well....
I decided to join up and let the members of Motor City Online (online racing game) know about this to see what they think. Therefore, I posted a link to this post here:
http://www.boards.mco.ea.com/ Give it time, it's still early in the morning, I'm sure we'll get some replies. To the owners, I think everything that can be said has been said, so I'll just wish you the best of luck, glad the guy was fired. |

I guess I'll be the first from CamaroZ28.com to chime in.
Everything has been said already, so I'll just add my condolences. Being from right outside of San Antonio myself (New Braunfels to be exact) I'll make sure I let people thinking about using that dealership know about this. Hopefully everything gets taken care of. Good luck with everything. |

I caught the link on www.probetalk.com , another Ford enthusiast BB, a couple of days ago, but this is the first I've seen the server functional enough to post. I am outraged that stangman has such a lack of respect for another person's property. This is stuff we learned in Kindergarten for Chrissakes. You remember: be kind, show respect for other people and their things, be quiet in the hallways, say "I'm sorry"... Seems to be pretty simple stuff to me, but I'm guessing stangboy (a man would not have done it..) ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer..
Getting stang relieved from his duties as auto technician would not have been good enough for me. Since he drove the car as if it were his own, I'm thinkin' that he should be buying it through payroll deductions. I'm certain that he would be plenty well qualified to find the drain plug and oil filter on most cars, and the buttons for the automatic car wash are green for go, and red for stop. In addition, all his good work would be accomplished with only Buffalo brand tools from Harbor Freight, because I would own his box of Craftsman, Snap-On, and Cornwells. He uses the argument that the car had already been flogged on a dyno, and that he just "had to do it". Last I checked, the risk of trashing a car was pretty minimal, because the dyno isn't moving at 140 mph. Oh, and the I just had to do it defense? Well he did have someone accompany him on his little escapade. Maybe the passenger had a 9mm Glock pointed at stangs head. Or he just finished a roast beef and mushroom sandwich, and the speedo grew bigger and bigger, chanting, I want my needle BURIED big boy...Welcome to the excuse dujour. With all these folks walking around, completely under the control of some unseen power, unable to think and act on their own, it is no wonder that we get daily aural assaults from the media about a murder at a car show, (NOPI) 2 teens killed in high speed chase, (local), and 2 people getting killed at stop light in St.Louis, and having their dubs jacked while they bled to death in the front seat. Thanks, stang, for pushing the degredation of society another tenth down the road. All in all, I think that if there was an evening show for stupidity (kind of a Meet My Parents/ Weakest Link combo) you stang, would get my vote for the double digit IQ award. Now you probably think it's pretty cool, being in the shape of the number 10, and all that, but that ten is only good enough for a spot at WalMart as a greeter. Your chances of being promoted to cart pusher are slim to none, and slim is outta town, cause they can't be guaranteed you wont test drive a cart. Smooth PS: In all seriousness, the dealership should step up to the plate, and provide an extended warranty, and inspections/ oil changes every 3k for the car, paid for out of stang's final check. This gives both parties an equal footing. The owner is compensated in the event something happens, the dealer gets to monitor the condition of the car every 3k, and stang pays for his joyride. |

I saw the link to this on WWW.BENDOE.COM. I would strangle anyone that did such a thing to my 69 Mustang !!!! I'm glad he lost his job !!! My first car was a 66 & I have always had a stang in the garage since then. Let's all hope that someday that guy gets a car or bike he cherishes & some guy takes it out & wrecks it for him. I am soooo tired of people that have no respect for another person's property.

Found out about this link at www.starquestclub.com
http://www.starquestclub.com/index.p...187134;start=0 I really can't add anything new about Stangman but I wanted to wish Tracy and Todd good luck with this. It sucks that one persons stupidity really gives everyone a bad rep. And to those that supported Stangmans actions your just as big of a RETARD as he was.

This story is really getting all over
I found this forum listing at http://www.memepool.com , read the whole thing and had to put in my .02.
To the owners; I am hoping that you are getting something from the dealership besides a pat on the head and an "Oh, that's too bad!" , but I have not seen a decent customer relations decision come out of businesses in these types of situations for many years. To the pathetic moron and his supporters; Be glad that all that has happened is that you lost your job and may have trouble finding another one - if it had been my car, there would be a lot more things happening to you. |

Well, just got wind of this (guess I'm a little behind the times) and just want to say I'm sure I speak for everyone at AnythingCars when I say that this tech is an asshat, and I'm glad he got fired. It's certainly less than he deserves for being such an UTTER FREAKING MORON, but, what else can you do?
Mr. and Mrs. Todd, I hope everything turns out well for you. Good luck. |

my advice,... get a lawyer
Section 31.07 of the Texas Penal Code states:
TX PENAL § 31.07 § 31.07. Unauthorized Use of a Vehicle (a) A person commits an offense if he intentionally or knowingly operates another's boat, airplane, or motor-propelled vehicle without the effective consent of the owner. (b) An offense under this section is a state jail felony. You may argue that the operative term "effective consent" would allow you off the hook because, arguendo, the owner of the Mustang "consented" to you taking possession of the vehicle and using it for the purpose of repairing it. But, Section 31.01 of the Texas Penal Code states [in part]: TX PENAL § 31.01 § 31.01. Definitions (3) "Effective consent" includes consent by a person legally authorized to act for the owner. Consent is not effective if: (A) induced by deception or coercion; The consent that was given for the express or implied purpose of repair has been nullified by the bad acts which you perpetrated upon her vehicle and solidified into a criminal offense by your statement of intent to joy ride posted on this board. There is a mistatement of law on this board where someone stated that you could always say that someone else typed your messages and name. Investigators can subpoena the IP records, e-mail records, your name, log on times, address and phone number from this message board, your ISP and your place of business in order to bring criminal prosecution against you. Your statement that you were not ther person posting from your terminal would be weighed by a jury and they would decide whether or not you were the person posting the message. Given the veracity of the statements made and their content,... I believe a jury would find against you. It would be in your best interests to hire a lawyer. |
