So this new hearse I'm buying is that of a friend of mine who is in the hearse club. I lived with him and his wife for a few months last summer, but it just wasnt working out for me. I really hated it there. Its not that they're bad people, but some people make good friends but dont work out as room mates... Anyway, I've ridden in this car and its had its share of issues but I know what most of them are (I think?) and I know the repairs that have been done on it. At first he told me yeah I'll give it to you for $3000 because youre my friend bla bla... I said cool. He said he was going to have it smogged last week because that was the issue they were having before. It wouldnt pass smog because of a few different things. Anyway he had made some repairs but apparently it had failed again right before he decided to sell it. He said, "But the guy said I smogged too early and didnt give the system enough time to reset after the repairs were done and it should be fine". Now he's saying "oh well I dont have time to smog it before february and if you dont buy it at the end of this month I'll just have to sell it to my friend in oregon, sorry". He knows I actually really want and need this car so I can drive it to see my boyfriend more, who lives in vegas and that I need to see him more if I'm going to save our relationship..
Ok, does that sound fishy to anyone else? Like it makes me think hes trying to get me to buy it without a smog because he knows it wont pass. Which is illegal in california, by the way. I mean.. I want this car and I am willing to make repairs, but the idea that he is knowingly ripping me off and he is supposed to be my friend is really weighing on me. Mostly because I have had issues with many members of the hearse club with backstabbing and shit talking and I just don't think I could handle losing another friend (Maybe hearse people just suck?). I really dont have many left at this point, and it just makes you start to wonder if I am a bad person or something, or if there is some reason stuff like this keeps happening to me. But I just cant think of any reason people would treat me badly (his wife doesnt know I know she stole my $50 Wolford's pantyhose that were delivered to their house after I moved). The whole thing just makes me want to become a complete hermit and just play with my fuckin cars all alone and have no friends. Because they are nothing but trouble!
Tell me I'm not crazy? Doesn't this sound like he knows something is wrong? How can you not have time to take a car to a smog shop that takes less than an hour to do? How can you not have time to drive the car another 60 miles for the system to reset when I know he has weekends off?
