Mallrats FTW!!!

There may be one thing worse than taking cash from a friend for work- TRADING work!Every time I hear of two friends trading work out on each others rides, it's like predicting how long a marriage will last- anyone wanna start a pool and guess a date?Sorry to hear about your breakup- but you still have all of your SSM friends here to support you (emotionally, not fiscally)!

Cut off everything you did to his car and set that shit outside or better yet but a lien on that shit!

Fuck em man, NOBODY needs people like that in their life. Ive been thru the same shit before and its made me a better person. I might not have a ton of friends, but the ones i got i know wouldnt do me like that.

When it all comes down to it, you have to remember the basis of the ooollld saying of "dont mix business with pleasure" Mixing friends, family friends, family members, ect. with business transactions can be a bad move.

People always go into the deal thinking their work will be appreciated and their good deal will be praised, and sometimes thats how it goes, but some people just exspect way too much for way too little.

everything Ive done for friends that worked out really good was when I told them the price and took atleast 1/2 payment all prior to doing the work. broke it down for them what materials and consumables can add up to before you throw in what your times worth.
if its a "on the side job" that means theres no time requirement, you get to it when you can.

I feel your pain, I always work on my friends trucks, never really charge them anything, and my projects are always the ones that suffer. Work has to come first tho, unless they want to pay what its actually worth.

Max your welcome to come to Oklahoma and blow off some steam. We can go push some cows over, or blow some shit up, or take the guns out and go tear some shit up.

oklahoma is the last place you wanna go to get away from that thats why i left lol

What always pisses me off is when someone needs help or a hand with something Im always the first to drop everything Im doing to help out but when I need a helping hand everybody is busy or whatever.

Well i don't post much on here anymore but this one struck a chord. I had this happen to me a few years back and the best thing i did was to use pictures of the vehicle and all the work i did in my advertising. I made sure you could clearly see the vehicle so no one mistook that it was this persons. You could see quality in every picture so there was no arguing my pictures of the work on his ride vs his bitching.

Its sad that a person has to loose a friend over such petty things but it has happened and they obviously don't care about the friendship as much as the person giving the deal...or you wouldn't give a friend a deal. So i guess you have to make the most of it and see if you can flip it in your favor.

He didn't call you callow, or say you had no libido to attack I hope!

Freaking hell, I love that movie.

Give it some time Max. If he really is a true friend, he'll realize what an ass he's been, man up and appologize to you. Then you'll be even tighter friends than before. And if he doesn't........screw him. He was probably just using you for his own benefit.



By the way..........."he just broke up with me." Freakin Hilarious!
