Apparently someone is upset about the what I said about that syncro on eBay,
because I got a mildly threatening email from him last night. I guess he
didn't like my comments about his vehicle. Of course the sender spoofed his
email address so I have no idea who he is, but for your Friday amusement
I've included his email text below:
"Hey ass hole! watch what you say. or you will regret it. I can
sell whatever I want. Sure, i have stiffed a few people, but
who has not? You better be careful. Or it will haunt you.
T-"
Sounds like a fine human being. Ah the internet, with anonymity comes
bravery...
Cheers,
Jeff
