I had to have an engine
I had to have an engine replaced and when i li led it up and drove home it ran fine. Later that day Instaryed it and it smoked really bad. I shut it off and checked the oil. He had overfilled it with too much oil. I texted the mechanic and was told he does that on purpose and to "drive the hell out of it". After 4 return visits over the next few months I finally resorted to filing a small claims suit. The court ordered him to replace the engine by such and such date. Right before that date arrived he messaged me asking if I would just take this older car with more miles as payment. Thinking at least I get something out of him and I could sell the car I agreed. The problem- the car wasn't even in his name. He agreed to get it out in his name and then I heard nothing. The deadline apptached and I returned before the judge and told her what had happened. He did not show up on this court date. A judgement was issued for the full amount $5760 plus $260 court costs. When he found out he went crazy calling me all kinds of names and threatened to sue me. I am going to request an asset hearing next week to seize his asstes.
