Intelligence sources have finally broken the code and established the source of Pedro's used car parts. This intrepid courier was spotted on his way from Rio Piedras to Bayamón. He has also been accused of supplying undercooked chicharrónes to dumb gringos.

Hey Frank,

I think you are on to something. We see that
delivery guy all the time. I never figured he
worked for Pedro but now it makes all the sense
in the world.

If this explains why I'm still waiting for parts,
I better check and recheck my parts sources...

If you've ever seen the skeleton of the guy waiting
to hear from a computer customer support person...

that's kinda how I'm feeling regarding parts.

Dale,
If you don't mind me asking. How much did you pay for your car? If you think that it's too personal, I understand.
I don't think I've ever read what you paid for it.

Stirkle- Not at all-

The car was a gift to me purchased by my wife.
She paid Pedro $10,000. for the "almost 100% restored
to factory showroom condition" 1969 TR6.

I have added about another $34k in parts and repairs.
No engine repairs (yet), the car is totally stock.

The radiator blew up the 2nd day we owned the car and it
quickly went downhill $$ from there. A partial list of
the parts that broke and had to be replaced. I drove the
car 67 miles total during the 1st year I owned it. I am
still under 300 miles for year 2007.

Just out of curiosity ... when the radiator blew up on the second day ... did you take the car back?

Tom
 
So without an ignition key, she gave him $10K for a car you couldn't start and test drive?
 
I think it is wonderful your wife bought you a LBC. What a nice thing to do.
As frustrating as it may have been and yet may be, it must have been some what satisfying as you stuck with it.
Moneys money, but ya can't take it with you. Grooving on that feeling when you have fixed something and its all working and talking to you is priceless.

Sounds like one of those Mastercard commercials; but the sentiment is spot on!

Money is important for survival but in the end ya can't take it with you and there's a lot worse ways to get rid of it than messing with an LBC.
