Default My Christmas Gloom!!

Ok, I just have to tell everyone about my big disappointment.......Ive been ranting and raving about getting my C&L CAI/SCT Tuner and possibly some LTs for the past 2 months. Ive been waiting for that big Xmas bonus and it finally got here, I was so excited but it was short lived.My son had$900scammed from him(wont even tell that story, its so bad). The entire ordeal was so hard on him, I didnt want him to suffer any more then he already was, on Xmas. So being the mom I am I dipped back into my wallet and gave him my Xmas money so he wouldnt have such a crappy Xmas. So in short, mom has to wait a little longer to spend money on her toy!! I dont regret it, my boys are my joy but man I cant help but feel a little bumbed!!

Im looking toward the future and I will have my mods before you know it!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

Well lets just put it this way, my son had his first experience with an internet "POS" on Ebay. He got took and got took really hard. Whats sad is that my son is such an honest, hard working 18-yr that he didnt deserve that! He wanted a Supercharger for his mustang so bad that he didnt think carefully about what he was doing. I really couldnt help but feel so bad for him. And that SOB that swindled him......what goes around, come around!!!!!

Thats the short version of the story, thanks for letting me vent off!!

$900 for an SC, even used, would have been a red flag right there.

anyways, lesson learned.

Haha, I have a similar experience but mine was only $350.

I sold a paintball gun on ebay and the guy sent the money through paypal. Next thing I know, paypal sends the money back to the guy after I send the gun and they want me to pay some stupid *** fees for all it.
