Rudy, the only reason you posted what you did was because of information I passed along to you, from calls and PMs with Vince/Kristy. I was working with him on an exhaust and I knew you were trying to do business with him also, so I called you to see if you knew anything. My apologies for passing on bad info, but as we are all finding out, many of us have been duped.

I worked with Vince for weeks, talking with him very regularly to try and get this exhaust system from him. In his words, he was doing a Rudy V8 conversion and would not need it anymore, promised an amazing price to me, and then I find out, by talking to a friend, he had promised the same price to him. He told us it was because he had multiple units blah blah blah. Made it relatively believable, but then everything fell apart and he was 'critically injured'. I had my doubts, but....

Question what? Without all the info you just presented, I would have looked like an ******* going after a serviceman who was injured while on law enforcement duty... yeah, good call.

I have to say thank you for confirming what I felt all along. I always felt Vince was a little off, and too young to have some of the toys he bragged about (modded brand new Z06 anyone), figured it was family money, but now this. I am not too surprised, but am awfully pissed. As Rudy said, we felt genuine pain for this man and his family, and the entire time, he was merely stringing us along. Sad and pathetic.
