Legal matter regarding my Z

[naviathan]

I spoke with the Chief's assistant, and consider this matter completely resolved.

 

I get my car back on Monday (they can't release anything over the weekend) and am legally bound to not disclose any aspect of the settlement reached.

 

But I will say this: I came out on top.

Good stuff. Regardless what happened it sound to me like you embarrassed someone enough to want to keep it quiet.

Local newspapers hold a lot of sway, apparently. I just picked up a new motor, I'm pretty excited about that. If anybody wants to see what I got, you'll see an article about it on my site this week.

Glad it's being resolved to your satisfaction. I don't think I was alone thinking you were getting worked over pretty good. Good luck with the car and the new engine.

[Gollum]

Woohoo! Congrats.

 

So really now, when are we gonna get together finally and check out eachother's cars and such. I'll be in vallejo wednesday night, maybe I'll drop by.

If you've got the money, fight it, otherwise move on. Do you have access to a garage for storage?

 

It's sitting inside my new garage, safely locked and alarmed. Getting my new engine on Friday since my work schedule didn't fit around the engine delivery time as nicely as it could.

 

Thanks for all the support everyone. Let me reiterate that this matter is completely closed. If I hadn't been compensated, I would be taking this to court. It's important that you research what your rights are if you feel like you've been taken advantage of or wronged, and make sure you weren't actually the one at fault. If another party was in fact at fault, hope that they have the sense to make things right. Otherwise, fight them with everything you have. I don't believe in just wasting energy left and right because you aren't willing to fight for what's yours. I'd rather fight and lose than to give up and know i was right.

So, we're all resolved, my car is back in my garage, and I'm getting ready for a hefty teardown then rebuild. I'm just torn as to how deeply to delve into the teardown. I'll start up a new thread for that.

[Challenger]

You get a settlement for the emotional damage?

[Jesse OBrien]

Working on it. We'll see how things turn out, but I'm not sure I'll be at liberty to discuss what happens. If I don't post again, assume there was good news and the PD made an honest effort to protect and serve, and not rape people.

Your ending actually put a grin on my face

Congratz!

All part of why we're all here. If it were just facts and no entertainment, we'd all end up watching Fox News just to make up for it all.

I hate the news period. Though I prefer Fox to the others.

Why you gotta?!!

I WILL RESIST COMMENT!!!! Ugh.

 

I was really impressed with your fortitude to resolve this problem.

 

Now to throw out a bleaten political statement out just crushes the rules badly.

 

Your experience has given the search engine more information that it did not have before. ( this is a rare thing)

 

Retract or restate your last comments please. This is asked with great overall concern.

 

 

This post will be reflective of the changed as well.

Hahaa, please understand that having my car back in my garage has granted me a sense of humor again, and I'm going to take advantage of it (at anybody's expense). So, while I do chuckle when I hear far-reaching phrases on Fox News that don't accurately deliver the news but definitely make the news more interesting, that statement was meant as a joke.

 

As far as fortitude goes, everything should be approached with two basic rules:

1. Do not attempt anything you can not or will not follow through with for as long (or as hard) as it takes.
   
2. Follow through as far as you are able on everything you attempt.

If that's all it takes to impress people, then there should be a lot more finished projects out there!

Good to hear your car is safely back in your garage, and that your wallet isnt crying.

 

I hope your settlement goes well, tow truck drivers can be pretty ridiculous. Glad you turned it around on them. From what I read in here, they were definitely in the wrong.

I had a very similar situation, HOA's took my car without giving me a 24 hour notice. I had my car under a cover so I was under the impression that they couldn't even check under the tarp to see if it was legal under the State of Florida's rules.

[Gollum]

Yea, check the rules. Odds are they're requred to give notice of intent to tow it. It might not of even been the HOA directly, but someone with a contract to patrol and then tow. If you find the legal documents on the matter and go before the HOA showing you were supposed to get a notice of some kind giving you 24 hours of warning, then odds are they'll be on your side of the matter.
