This actually proves that there has been A corvette sitting with no wheels or brakes for two years, doesn't confirm a thing about this story.

but honestly, why can't we see the scathing google review that was the 'turning point' in the saga?
can someone please link that?

yeah I mean with all the fairly justified accusations this is fake he could do several things rather than post a grainy picture of a corvette on blocks taken from 50 yards away.
such as:
post a pic of the title
post a pic of an insurance cert
post a pic of the $9800 mystery charge invoice that was just paid
post the google review (which is the least proof this is true but at least something)

This gets sketchier by the day.
I mean just a few posts up somebody asked how that heap was moved with a stripped out front suspension since it was "moved in and out of the bay in the same day"
but "Bill" didn't say. . . . ..
huh?
Bill didn't say or you didn't ask? Like how on earth does one not ask "Bill the savior" how it was moved?
And even if that is true, ASK HIM NOW

Plus a few more like, where are my rotors and calipers and wheels? Can I see them?
Where are my A arms?

I mean really, have they been in a closet for the last 3 years?
spoke to the mechanic at his home. They had to remove a lot to remove the engine. Im.faitly confident thst they are not dragging it across the cement although I probably was fairly confident that I wouldn't be without my car for 3 years, 7 months, 6 days. 😱😭🤣

On 09/29/2023 when the story started, you stated it was 3 years 3 months 21 days. The math isn’t adding up now that it’s 3 years 7 months 6 days.
Just an observation.

When my phone is charged, I’ll post my “evidence”🤣. I know this entire scenario is bizarre, but I’m not quite as Ill as to make this up. No SS# or mothers maiden name though. Maybe DOB for the gifts.

I'm interested just for curiosity's sake but I know there is a Dr practicing in your area, using your name, and the named dealer exists in the same area. That's good enough for me.

It's not like you're asking any of us for money. Even if the entire thing was made up, so what? The worst that can happen is, 'oh wow, you got me, haha good one.'

that's true. I'm not asking for money. Hmmm🌟💡💡💡💡
So here! Mi coche. I figured I'd drop a few highlights since I get ragged on for not keeping up with it.🤣Throw in a few out of town funerals, a little Covid, a heaping of surgeries, stir it all up, add the car, VOILA! My last 4 years!🤣🤣Ya gotta laugh!

is the last pic from when they removed your brain to put Abbey Normal's brain in that spot?

but seriously, please ask Bill how they are moving your car and report back.
There's nothing of substance happening with your story and knowing that answer will be satisfying to all of us who have been following the saga

like I said, we're getting nothing else beyond "they're going to fix my car for reals this time, like for reals seriously"

at least knowing how they're moving it will be interesting until after the 2024 election when you have some real results

like what could go wrong with some dealer forklift operator picking up the front end with a couple two by fours on the forks and driving a car and maneuvering back and forth to get it in a door.
no chance it could just slip off the forks and cause major damage

also, no reason to have even asked that for the first 3 years or care at all, or maybe insist your car is NOT moved with a forklift

he's planning on driving by tomorrow to look from a distance and not get out of his car to even get close to his corvette on blocks

but Bill is on the job, so no chance this will go on for another year

If Mark's lucky streak continues he'll get the car done & paid for and it will be totaled the first day it's back.
