Ok I'm just gonna put it out there. I'm the dipshit that's responsible for this. There's really no good excuse I can use other than I'm short sighted and can't manage my finances the way I should, and for that I apologize. I never should've done that deal and I asked for way too little on something I owed a lot on, and I explained that to Rich's boss when he was here. At the time I was still working full time and I figured I could have the rest paid off easy, then a major project I was on fell through so I was out of major work for 6 months. Still no excuse, just a quick back story. At the time he bought the grizzly, I was already into my first build so that was before he even saw it. My motor was in 1,000 pieces at woodsraptor's shop across the state. Then right after I sold the grizz, we got the bad news that they cancelled our contract cause of lack of money in the construction budget, then I had to save some of what I got (2,000) to pay some bills. After that I guess I just kept getting too complacent, and finding one stupid deal after another. In a way I'm glad this came up now so everyone can keep on my ass to get this done. I was already looking into some personal loans and right now I can't borrow any money from anyone I know cause of the holidays. I have been asking for the last few weeks but I get the same answer, "sorry broke cause of christmas"
I have every intention and he WILL get a title soon as possible. I just don't have the funds right now to fully pay it off but I am gonna put what I have now towards that and whatever I get until I pay it off. If necessary I will part out my raptor and sell all the aftermarket. I am hoping it doesn't come to that but I'll do what it takes to make this right. I appreciate the time he's given me to work this out but I know most people are already starting to get wind of this and so I'm just gonna come clean now and take whatever gets dealt to me.
To clear up some points...no one is looking for this ATV, it has been paid on time and is in no danger of being repossessed. All of my rides other than the Little Sahara rally which I used a company gas card to get to and from there (With their permission of course) were day rides and all it cost me was a tank of gas and I barely would empty the tank in my raptor. Yes I did a motor build recently, and that was stupid and short sighted. All I can do is apologize for that and swear that I will do what is necessary to get this rectified. It will just take a little time and I will keep on it for sure.
Thanks for your time, and I don't blame anyone for what has been said so far anywhere. I am glad that people still look out for each other on these forums and it's shitty that this time I'm the asshole doing it.
