No one is playing favorites. If we were, we would wouldn't be neutral and instead side with BOTIH8R*pbr* who has over 1,000 posts and been here a long time instead of procharger98 who only has 40 posts here. Your fostang post was moved to street racing for the same reason most posts are moved there. The thread had degraded to 4 letter words and name calling. Read the thread you linked from start to end and read this thread from start to end then see how differently procharger98 handled his case compared to how you handled yours. No one is stopping you from making a new thread, but take some notes from procharger98's mannor and conduct. You can always catch more bees with honey than a shot gun.
There is no doubt BOTIH8R*pbr* and fostang are good guys and all parties involved will make things right. They sound like they're going through hard times right now, but at the end there is no doubt all debts will be settled and men will stick to their word.

if you have seen these kits for 70 then why bother buying one for 5 bucks cheaper?
and josh is a good guy. he drove all the way out to my fucking work to drop off a part that i needed to pass smog and he did it for free.
i think if there has been a problem with a transaction with him it was just an honest mistake or he has just been really busy.

BOTIH8R*pbr* can we get your input on this? How about CAFords will pay procharged98 the $32 and you give us an exact date for when you'll pay CAFords back. This post will not be stickied anymore with this arrangement. Does this sound fair? Basicly CAFords will loan you $32 to help you out in these hard times and you can set the date where you'll pay CAFords back. In the mean time procharged98 will be compensated and there would be no reason to have this post stickied here anymore. You're a man of your word and I have no doubt you'll pay CAFords back the $32 on or before the date you set. Sound like a fair deal? It's a win-win situation for everyone. procharged98 will get his money. You will demonstrate you stick to your word and settle your debts and CAFords will gain by not having this clutter in its forums. We're all Ford brothers after all.

I think it's great that you are willing to do this for the member, """BUT""" this person (bo ti) has REPEATEDLY said he was going to pay immediately and NEVER HAS. He's straight up lied about the situation over and over again, said he doesn't care about his rep on this site, called this site a side show (Jerry Springer ass site,) etc. I would not count on him standing by his word now.
Again Matt, it's great what you're offering, but don't expect it to come back from him. EVEN IF HE DOES PAY YOU BACK, why would any member here ever trust him again after this much time has passed etc.

Cafords doesn't guarantee ANY transactions. He was just trying to end the BS plain and simple. Using the CA Fords name may or may not have been the best choice of words at that time...
Do Not expect Cafords or anyone else for that matter to fix your "transactions gone bad" except for the people directly involved in that transaction.
We all take our losses one time or another, lucky in this case it was only $35 or whatever the fuck it was. People with their own mind can read and decide if they want to do business with members here. Shit people can even post thread in General about a seller if they aren't sure of their status here. Ask if they are legit, honest or whatever. If they are you'll find out if no one knows then take your own'ed fuckin chance.
Off subject but did anyone else have an Awesome hump day like I did last night!? for humpdays

Hey if you all support the site and the CAFords buget reaches thousands of dollars, there would be no problem loaning people money to settle their debts to other members. Right now we can only help out in the $30 range so buy more shirts and send in more money with your sticker requests In the past 5 years there have been tens of thousands of transactions made on CAFords and upwards of over a million dollars have traded hands. In that time, we've had what, maybe 5 bad deals totalling $5,000?? The system we have here works great! It'll be impossible to have as many transactions as we have here and never have a bad deal, just like it would be impossible to have an economy with 0% unemployment. If someone gets a bum deal here, members that can step up and help out should do what their conscience tells them to.
In this case between BOTIH8R and porcharged98 there was an easy win-win solution for everyone. Win-win means all parties win at the end. Nothing lost, no losers. How can someone not be in favor of that?
If anyone has win-win ideas of their own, post them up.
With the fostang vs STREETFIGHTER50 issue, http://www.californiafords.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=4;t=002042 is anyone willing to meetup with STREETFIGHTER50 and help him take off the top half of the motor to fix the coolant leak? Maybe someone wants a learning experience? Anyone have extra 302 gaskets they can give him for the job? At least one person reading this has the gaskets or time they can donate.
If there are more bum deals pending out there, post them up, there has to be a win-win situation for all of them.
Lets pitch in and help eachother out this Christmas season. It doesn't make sense to be bickering this time of year. [ November 29, 2007, 08:23 PM: Message edited by: 9COBRA8 ]

The only thing about cafords stepping in that upset me was what the seller said about his rep, and the members on this site. He was thumbing his nose at the members and then you (cafords) stepped in and offerd to help him. That is what UPSET me and i am sure other members as well.
Do you have 3xl t-shirts??? prices??? [ November 30, 2007, 11:44 AM: Message edited by: jmcclesk ]

i think its cool that cafords is willing to do this, BUT i think he should just pay the guy his money no one should have to jump in for him and do it for him. as a part of growin up you hae to take responsibility for yourself if you say over and over that your gonna pay then pay dont let someone else jump in and do it for you.

-------------------- Yellow94GT never touched anyone's sig or banned anyone, so I'm going to quit spreading that rumor. It's not like I have any proof anyways. All yellow94gt and other mods have done is volunteer their time to help other people buy/sell parts, learn how to make their cars go faster and meet fellow enthusiasts. I'm a hater, but it's hard to hate on these facts. I have saved hunrdeds, maybe thousands of dollars here buying and selling parts over the years alone, but I don't care, this website owes me damnit, and I'll piss on it as much as I want. Us haters gonna hate. Why contribute to something when you can take for free? I act like I'm@Age15 I make friends on the internet that are@Age18 I was picked on in my youth so I became a bully@Age24 My mouth started to run 24/7 on the internet, but my car never at the track@Age26 First pubic hair@Age30 Troll@Age31 My internet friends and I ALL just got the boot for good!@Age31 Yes, you read it right, 31 and just as childish as my fresh out of highschool internet friends@31 Oh yeah, this isn't my website, so no one has to ask for my permission to change my sig. Hell, not like I pay the CAFORDS bill, so why should they need my permission to put what they want on their site? We're all guests here. Maybe some of us should start acting like guests or leave?
