Brownz:
I have read everything here.
I have one question: why do you still have the title & there was no bill of sale when this transaction was complete?
I am not taking sides here. I think this story is missing some things. One thing I know is that if I was trying to re-po or recover my car after a bad deal, I would not "impersonate an officer" when I still retain the title & have no bill of sale... why risk it when you have the strongest automotive document to prove you still own it???? If you were as malicious as the Cobra claims, you could have reported it stolen (again, no proof of a deal when no title/bill of sale). Having said this, there are some missing things about this deal.
Cobra: 1 pass or 600 passes, a motor can start to fly apart. At the same time, I would be no more surprised to hear it is shot & you were unaware of all of the damage without a prior complete teardown. Let me ask you this: assuming the motor is fine as you say it should be, what is Brownz's motivation to come on here & state all of this??? Perhaps I am not understanding everything (it would not be the first time). Anyways, not taking sides, & I am neutral right now. Glad the kids are ok.
Good luck & I hope you both can come to terms & respect each others concerns. Pray about it.... Rigsby
