Subject: Re: Thoughts on the roadhouse.
Am not finish with you.... I don't think you ever met a French Canadian my
men.... You should all read that, it will be kind of funny....sinking
Vanagon men................
>>>Ask yourselves this question. How many of you contributing to this great
cause have gone out of their way to help a newbie on the list keep there
$500 car running with a $2000 motor or a $20 donation?<<<<
Do i have to answer that question! So have many others here, like a Guys
call Mark Drellock (Sorry mark for destroying your name) who help me when i
was stranded in CA. i have help so many VW owner the past 2 years you have
no idea, same for Frank Corn.....(whatever name that square head as) and
many others.
>>>>>Vans that were rusting into the ground, had head leaks, etc? Wouldn't
they be worth or our financial support?<<<<<<
Yes, why not!!! But there is a big difference between Mr Chasse and them, he
spend countless hours on his site sharring is adventure, his problems and
solutions, he put out one of the best repair shop list on the web....
Do you have a web site? I have help at my house over 20 Vanagon owner, i
never ask a freaking penny.... why, because the VW Dealer was ready to
ripped them.
>>>>They do not have the money for GPS or internet links in their vans, or
fancy wheels or High powered engines.............<<<<
Mr Chasse didn't know that in 48k miles he would have to put 4 engines...
And you know what bro, if he ever get lucky and have a somewhat running
engine, he won't go home, he will come in eastern Canada where i know and he
know that a few budys of mine, and some Busfusion folks will help him at
150% so he can continue is trip, no one will ask any quastion or be jealous
of his trip here my men, we want to laught at him and his non working
gadgets, most of them don't even work properly now, so for the little money
that they are worthed... he won't go far with that.....
>>>>just people trying to get by and keep their car on the road.........NOT
joyride around the US.<<<<
This is can of an idiotic statement, you are just sinking deaper with that
kind of jugment.
>>>>Believe it or not, I have helped people on Sunday afternoon the dealer
referred to me to get their vanagons back on the highway. Did I make money?
Yes, but also i had given untold bits of advice via pmails and postings over
the past several years.<<<<<
Good for you....if it's true! Me too, and so many others on this list and
not from this list.
>>>When I decided to upgrade my stereo to MP3 did i ask for handouts? No, I
sold my old radio and didn't go out to eat with the family for 2 weeks. I
made it just fine.<<<<
You are sinking pretty deap now! What a nice comparison, what you point
here????????? Are you on the raod!!!!!!!! Are you in your life time
trip!!!!!!!! Your at home, being jealous like hell....... He had that trip
budjet prepare like an ace, everything was perfect, even engine breakdown
where in the budjet... but not 4, damn men, your not getting it at all!!!!
>>>>When my van broke down in Rock Hill 2 weeks ago did i instantly fire up
my mobile internet link and ask for money for my new alternator? NO. I
walked to advance and bought one and installed it with my own tools that i
always bring on road trips. I didn't need to have it towed to a mechanic.<<<<<
Your at the bottom of the lake now, here i go again.... Larry as no
connection with the outside world other than his OLD P2-333mhz laptop that
he paid 300$ for, no cell phone, he is using phone though is cheap laptop,
the internet connection (56k) serve for phone, e-mail with is familly and
friends, and TO PUBLISH IS WEB SITE THAT WE ALL READ!!!!!!!!!! Mr Vanagon
men, can you imagine how long it is to upload 100' of picture in a slow
wireless cell phone connection????????? he is doing that for the sake of
other.... LARRY IS NOT A MECHANIC AT ALL, DOES IT MEAN THAT PEOPLE WITHOUT
MECHANICAL KNOWLEDGE SHOULD NOT ASK FOR HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
----------Did larry ever ask for something big before, NEVER, he had his van
towed many time, paid 1000' and 1000'for repair because he truly believe in
his trip............. many time, he never ask for help, he try and he often
fail, i have seen him try and try many time..-------
>>>>>Now granted, it would be cool to joyride around the US. But don't ask
for handouts. Sell some of your toys. That's what those of us in the real
world have to do when times get tough................draw money out of
savings, etc. With all that has been done to this vehicle, I seriously doubt
its owner is broke.<<<<<<<<<
Is there something deaper than the bottom of a lake!!!! maybe the center of
the earth.... First of all, he already sold some stuff, second, many of his
stuff was baught second hand, or should i say third hand, many of is toy are
whorth close to nothing today, for the exception of the TV and the "For
Sale" Canon camera. Don't even think for a second that Larry will take the
Paypal money for now...it will stay there until he finds a solution, if he
ever take the money, those folks gonna have it back one day, believe me, and
on top of that, his gonna take the time to write to each one a personal
thanks letter.
And for a fact, i know that Larry was close to being broke.... But he didn't
want this trip to end so soon.
Now, go outside and help someone, take some fresh air and let go of Larry, i
have been told lately by some listmember that was beginning to be a dumb
ass, well, it was true, so i went outside to take some fresh air and think
about my attitude on the list, and in life in general, so in a way i should
tank some guys here for that. Until everyone on this list stop bugging him,
i will be here to bugg back, i have stayed polite with you because i know
you did some good in the pass, but i will not let you speak against this
great human being or any others list member. I have also promise myself that
i would sty polite on this list...
I know that Larry his feeling like shit right now!!!!!!!! because of all the
crap going around him...... you had your 10 minute of fame men.
I am the "polite" Corruptor
