I had explained my situation to him(Disabled Viet Nam vet on a Veterans admin. disability pension,fixed income,blah,blah blah.)So I could not even afford the $400 in gas to meet him halfway.
My question is,Why make a deal w/someone than change the rules halfway through the deal?A man is only as good as his word!! Hold on gotta answer the phone, another damn transporter. :cry:
