If any of you guys want to be Financial Advisors, I'm looking! Extremely tough to start out in, but very rewarding and a great long-term/lifetime career! ;P

Oh and I have not driven the mustang in 2 weeks. I need a reason to go somewhere. Let's do something soon!

Hate to hear that.

I have the same questions as Shant. Who was it and what forum? Are we taking a cruise to that persons house? Sounds like a scumbag.

LOL thanks guys,
it was for some roush rear end splitters.
he sent them to me, but the box for one came beat to hell, then upon opening it one of the splitter was broke in half. and none of the hardware he had in his listing was there either.
So i hit him up on on PM and he was suprized as well to see it messed up like that. so he said he would send another one but via USPS this time. i said awesome and was cool about it. about 2 weeks go by and still nothing. so i hit him up again and he says its coming from PA to CA so it may take time.

its been a month now and ive hit him up several times via PM and nothing. and finally just recently i hit him up via the thread and still nothing.
shows he was last active on 6/19 so i was going to do a paypal dispute but find out later i gifted it which i totally forgot i did.
so hoping for the best but thinking i can kiss my moolah good bye.

the tag is Shawnxrox on S197.com

Ahhh, it appears that you've done business with the infamous Shawn Hoffman from Philadelphia....

Anyways, I hope it gets resolved for you. The guy leaves one hell of an Internet fingerprint everywhere lol

I apologize if I set off any alarms that would make you worry any more than you should. I only did a search on him to find any information pertaining to him scamming.

He does seem like the "make a quick buck" type though. I hope he does the right thing, it seems he does have a decent reputation on S197forums where he is most active. He certainly is all over the internet though lol. If you need any help getting ahold of him, let me know bro.

its really nice and lightweight, so its nimble. I tried the 650 v star but its way too heavy, and tried the bolt too but its uncomfortable.


No more sport bikes for me... I can't control myself on them, I always end up going too fast and on the twisty roads.. I just want a calm bike, simple 250 cruiser seems to fit the bill

I think I'm the only person on the planet who is not impressed by the new moostang. I thought I really liked it and even saw it in person, but in the end I dont think it looks all that great... Not a fan of the interior or rear and in person; I realized I dont like the front much either.

You're definitely not alone there. If the performance isn't substantially better, it'll just be a big "meh" as far I'm concerned.

I'd be surprised if it wasn't. Especially with wider rubber and the irs.

I know these are all rumors and over analyzed quotes from Ford designers but everything I've read says the new gt beats the boss. That alone impresses me.
