the money situation stopped...... i had a product that i was gonna sell at this festival and my investors bailed out....... i'm really pissed cause now i'm back in the damn hole again........ everytime i think things are going to get better, they just end up getting worse for me........ i would have been able to pay off a few things and have money for grad school if i would have be able to make my "product" for this large festival....... i'm pissed about it...... if i sell it, it might give me a better reason to leave michigan and move to cali since the design/architecture tends to be better out there...

That's terrible man...your car wasn't exactly my style, but I can definitely appreciate how much time, effort, and money went into it; it was a well done car (especially the bodywork!) and one of the most unique on these forums. Sorry to hear about your problems

yeah besides clients stiffin me out of money, people want everything for nothing, etc.....it wouldn't be bad......... i just want to make a few 'products" and sell them and do design work on the side....... i'm tired of everything.......... i can always build another qwst vette.....but this one has semtimental value for me.... plus i'm sure i won't sell cause no-one wants a ride like that anyways...... if i painted it black or red it prolly would sell faster...... i'm just really stressed out right now and i'm sure i'm just over reacting........

If you were planning on selling this "product" at a public festival you make be lucky that it did not happen. If you sell a product without patent protection (or an application), you cannot patent.

If you have a product with no patent and you already showed it to investors and they bailed on you they might be working on getting a patent on their own. You might not want to procrastinate on getting yours. Good luck with your situation.

yeah, i'm working on one right now..... i only showed it to a few friends but i'm sure they have no idea about getting a patent....... hopefully by the end of the week my application will be done and i'll file...... the whole purpose of me selling my "product" was to raise moeny for grad school and a few other things...... so, i'm sort of screwed now.....
