Regrettably my generous $100 offer is retracted.
Sadly Motorhead 350 did not live up to his end of the deal.
Oh well better luck next time.So... what to do with the $100?

Curless, are you currently repairing another members Marauder who is deserving? How about you Spectragod?

What I am also considering is giving the money to mercurymarauder.net as a donation.

Some positive input is welcome.

Knew it would happen.....

Donate it to a local food bank or other local charity.

Really, are you *****ting me? I give stuff away on this board on a regular basis, so in short, yes, but I always get to pick the recipient, not the other way around.

Let me ask you....... if you saw a homeless person, or someone down on their luck, would you offer them help, or help with some stupid stipulation? I'll wait for your response.....

You can send me the $100, I need to take my blower off and diagnose an intercooler leak. The down time and psychological problems this is causing me is killing me. :bigcry: The $100 can buy me plenty of beer to hold me over 'til and during the repair.

You wanna help out a fellow member? Do it for the right reasons, do it anonymously and don't add strings. A gift is a gift not a chance to knock someone, scold someone, own someone just so you look good. JMHO but I'm not wrong.

What are you talking about? I PMed you a number of times with no response and even posted a thread to contact you. The car is still with Chris and the repair is TBA. I do not understand.

Of course, I’ll respond from the onset I had reservations so yes there were stipulations, stipulations that were agreed to and unfortunately not adhered to.

Spectragod I want you to know if you were the individual in need, there would be no stipulations etc. In fact your character and integrity would not be in question -- so none of this would be an issue.

If I saw a homeless person, or someone down on their luck…

Let me share this - December 1995 I was in Budapest, Hungary on Christmas Eve I rode the subway. It was a very demoralizing experience – People were living on the subway platform. Many of them were families with little children and they were starving.
I was handing out money left and right. One elderly woman who looked just like my grandmother was a mess - she was so emaciated. I handed her $20. I think at that time the exchange rate was 30 to one. The old woman grabbed my hand she was crying like a baby. That night I emptied out my wallet ($475) I left my self with enough to get back to where I was staying.

No more needs to be said about this - a deal is a deal.

MH350 I was trying to teach you something. If you dont start getting it and very soon life is going to get even harder. That I can promise.

I do not have time nor do I care to argue with you.

If anything you voided your own agreement. It's not my fault Chris has other cars to service before me or the fact that you have trouble communicating with me on-line.

Take your 100 bucks and donate it to Charcot-Marie-Tooth Association.

Very awesome, we are cut from the same cloth. I try not to have a hang up with anyone. If I can help, I try to, if not, I try to find a way to.

I know Dom and his antics, we were all young and did crazy stuff, it's not for me to try and change someone or judge them, if they wish to continue to make bad life choices, then that was their choice.

We all make choices in life, some good and some bad. Some learn and others do not.

When I donate money, I have stipulations. The primary one is that I believe in the individual or group that I provide financial assistance to. I think this is true for all of us. Think of the donations that are made to individuals, religious organizations, political, ideological based organizations. We would likely not give to something that we do not believe in. Marauderthis did just this with his offer to help Dom. I see nothing wrong with his pulling the offer if he believes the stipulations were not met. For example, if you have an automatic payment plan to some organization that you support. Some time after you pledge that financial assistance, they fail to meet your expectations. Would you still continue to donate to that cause?

I think one if the points in the recent Dom event is that some people do not believe he will change. They don't believe he has made an effort to change. So why should they donate whether in the public view or privately?

I am excited to part of a board where Spectra and Cureless will still donate their resources to Dom, even though Marauderthis (nor myslf) will. That does not make anyone good or bad people.

I donate my time and money to causes I believe in. Generally I will not give money to homeless-though they will receive food and water from me and a conversation from me. That is true even if I have to walk into a store and buy it for them on the spot. Marauderthis provided much needed assistance in Budapest, I have in my time and will continue to do so.

Dominick, you have to open your eyes I can't lead you to salvation.
There is no future in screw-ups & happy for any help.
I am saying this constructively. If the character Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz had your insight and perception she would have never learned anything and she would have not made it back to Kansas.

If a simple agreement was too much of a challenge then some where down the line you may be in for some serious pain and hurt
especially if you violate a contract that has big money attached to it.

Please find yourself and wake up fast.

Good Luck Dominick

Sure, here are how things went and everyone is free to check because zero PMs were made, so nothing is private.

1. I think I have a serious engine problem, start a thread asking if someone can stop by and get a better idea.

2. The video was submitted to a few people, others forwarded it. Zack (because he is never wrong about anything ever) posts and says the engine is toast.

3. I am wondering about what to do and an offer for an engine replacement comes up. Nearly everyone is livid.

4. marauderthis says to "bring the car to Curless and I will throw down $100 to do it right. No "Micky Mouse" repairs". I agree and bring the car to Chris.

5. marauderthis posts in my old thread asking if I accept the offer for the second time. I thought saying thank you was good enough the first time, but said for the second time I accepted and even PMed him saying so.

6. marauderthis starts this thread saying the offer is no longer valid and I need to wake up, learn about life and need to change.

All of this while following through with what he said. Even if the offer was not given, the car would still be with Chris. Chris did mention he could not get to my car for a week due to other cars he must attend to, which is understandable. This was with the intention of an engine swap. Being that an engine swap might not be needed, I have no idea when I will be getting the car back. All I know is it's 3 hours from my place at the current moment.

So there you have it. Full details on our Indian Giver marauderthis who fails to respond to his own PMs. Even when I agree to and follow though with his "deal".

I would bet it's because those people are extremely jealous they did not have such an offer when they were in a rut. So, they have to do their best to make me feel miserable and anyone else who cares to help out. OR personally dislike me for the life I am chasing after instead of taking the easy way out. My POV.

I think you are correct. I remember when we(the board) would help other members out when a problem like this came about.

And before anyone says a word, I remember one member that got a new motor from donations, wrecked the car, then sold the motor when parting the car out, no one said a word..........go figure.:shake:

You are getting about $3000 worth of free stuff and all he wanted you to do was shut up and be thankful.

But clearly that isn't happening based on your responses.

MH350 I was trying to teach you something. If you dont start getting it and very soon life is going to get even harder. That I can promise.

I know Dom and his antics, we were all young and did crazy stuff, it's not for me to try and change someone or judge them, if they wish to continue to make bad life choices, then that was their choice.

I think you are correct. I remember when we(the board) would help other members out when a problem like this came about.

And before anyone says a word, I remember one member that got a new motor from donations, wrecked the car, then sold the motor when parting the car out, no one said a word..........go figure.:shake:

I believe that there were several members who had donations to help them with a blown engine.
I contributed to one member's engine rebuild, but when I saw who they were going back to for the repair and dyno tune, I shook my head and thought:
"This isn't going to end well."
....and it didn't.
That's when I stopped donating to 'blown engine' funds.
When I blew up the oil pump in my Marauder, and toasted the engine....(my fault, drag racing with a bunch of bolt-on mods and without a dyno tune)
I didn't think for ONE second about asking MM.net members for contributions in fixing MY problem.

There is a BIG difference between 'being down on your luck' and creating your own problems.

You have a 10 year track record of being irresponsible with the car, and it will never change.

My 2 cents:

Dom,
The reason I keep busting your chops is because you refuse to learn anything about repairing cars....specifically your Marauder and even your Blazer.
I understand that you have other "more important things" to worry about......
But you continue to beat on, and break your primary means of transportation, and you continually whine and ask for help fixing it.

I keep saying to myself: "Why doesn't Dom take better care of his car and LEARN HOW TO FIX IT!?!?"

I would be completely embarrassed and ashamed to take any members help/donation/generosity if I were you.
You should take better care of your car AND start learning how to fix a motor vehicle!

If you refuse to learn how to fix a car, then get rid of your DD 200,000 mile beater and buy a low mile Toyota.

He likes to attack Zack, not sure why when that is the hand that cared for him for a LONG time. He failed to meet the minor stipulations that Marauderthis imposed on him. And people are upset that some people do not want to donate to Dom's money pit.

I applaud those that are helping him, but I do have to wonder if his behavior is being enabled by some of the members on this board.
