i just think kenny got hoodwinked by a fast talker who said he could do miracles cheap.. when you have a family even though you have projects to do you try and get a good price for everything you do.. sadly with this deal the price was there whereas the quality sure was not!

Bottom line this whole situation stinks on both sides:
In spite of the fact some were aware of previous problems with Tony it doesn't mean XXL did anything wrong by choosing to deal with him. It may have been ill advised but his intentions were simply to pay a fair price for a good job. XXL kept his end of the bargain whether it was a good bargain or not, Tony didn't and has offered not legitimate reason.
I don't get the immpression XXL suckered Tony into a no-win price then held him over the barrel to squeeze all he could out of the deal. In fact it seemed XXL was quite willing to pay what he had to in order to get a great job but it wasn't even an option.
There's only one victim here and he's stuck with a cab he can't live with and a $4000 hole in his account.

For $4000 why wouldn,t you buy a good cab then get it chopped?
Pardue shouldn,t of even taken the job if he didn,t have time or help.

Guys, I know that there was no excuse for some of the things that I have said on this post. I agree with the things you have said about me staying out of the situation. Tony's computer was down and he asked me to reply for him. To XXL and Old Rusty, I don't think that an appology is enough but that is all that I can say. I really hope XXL and Tony can get this worked out. Sometimes you try to defend a friend and you say way too much in the process. Honestly in hindsight, I should have kept my trap shut. As for the pissing match, it wasn't meant to come out that way. I vented at you guys when I should have not said a word and for that I am sorry. I have learned a lot from this post and you will probably not see my name much anymore. I know that will make most of you very happy.

I posted this on the Review Board but I wanted more people to read it.

We all have our fights and disagreements...but that is no reason for us to lose a board member! We all have words with our friends sometimes..that is the way of life. I would be disappointed to see this thing end up with someone leaving the board. The issue has been resolved, now let’s just move on..
