Toby,

The car was in my backyard, sitting in the grass and covered with a HD car cover while it rained on and off for days. By the time I got home (after leaving at 6:15am) at night it was dark, weekends were a blur as I dealt with my wife, son, and 70+ year old parents moving from 3 blocks away to Florida. Cobra sitting in my packed 10X20 1 car garage (with 7 foot ceiling height) so putting it in there was not an option. Not street legal or insured so taking it elsewhere to review the car was not an option. I took Bill C. at his word as there was no reason to doubt him. He gave me the details and I turned it into html. But you are right and it will be an extremely rare occasion where I ever help out another friend selling a vehicle ever again. Shame that something like this has to come to light and that Mark and I are now jaded by the whole experience. Again, Bill C. has yet to respond, but I do hope that he does and does so in a responsible manner so that we can all put this ugly experience behind us in a positive way.

Bill S.
