Well Darryl came over yesterday and said he was picking up a trailer later and asked if I would help him load his car on it. He left this morning to take it back. I hadn't seen him since looking at his car on Saturday and asked if it was any better. He said "Oh man, it's like a different car. No backfire, idles great and a lot more power. Even Vickie could tell the difference."

I guess he's really pissed now. He talked to the builder and asked him what they did to setup the engine. The guy told him their engine guy spent a couple of hours with his engine. Darryl told him he must have spent the time sitting in a chair next to it because it ran like crap. Then asked what the guy was supposed to have done and was told "Adjust the timing and carb'"

So Darryl told him his neighbor looked at it and that it was running great now. The guy asked "What did your neighbor do?" Darryl told him "Adjust the timing and the carb." There was silence on the other end, the guy had no response.

I think Darryl's eyes finally opened, he was pointing out some things that he didn't like. I hope this guy takes care of the major issues for him. I know he won't take care of everything but some things definitely need fixing. Too bad he was blinded by the "new car light" when he checked the car out. He doesn't have a lot of leverage now that he's paid in full.
