Hey Rich, John Robarge, (Spiceman) here.
Have a question for you. Do you set up web sites?
As you may recall I work P/T for Route 46 VIP Corvettes in Sorrento, Fl.
Owner Donna Korb, has need for someone to fix her web site, and because your CorvetteFlorida site is so nice, I thought you'd be the perfect person to take on her need.
407 474 4969 and the business being 352 455-5395
Thanks Rich

I am using the private message feature to tell you a story about me and my bitter pill I had to swallow. In 1981 I had open heart surgery at age 41 and my company wanted to put me out to pasture but I convinced them I could still do my job. I spent the next ten years clawing my way from being a clerk to the promotion I was ready for before the surgery. I invested all my energy into proving I was capable of doing my job I would devote my weekends or nights whatever was needed to get the job done. Then one day while I was on a trip for the company I received a call from the head of the plant were I worked and was told that I was being demoted back to being a clerk because he got caught not providing a customer’s order. I went to the head of the company and showed him a letter I had written 3 months earlier to three different department heads warning them about the upcoming need for this item to be built. I also showed the letter to the plant manager but to no avail I was demoted and humiliated in front of my peers. Since I had 30 years with the company I decided to retire and started to look for a new job which I found. On my last day before retirement the plant manager called me in at 7:30 in the morning and wanted to know if I was leaving because of him. He wanted me to ease his conscious which pissed me off and I walked out past the people I had worked with and who had a retirement party all spread out for my last day with them.
Now I went to the new job and 6 weeks later I was fired for the first time in my life. From there I started another job search and finally was able to get a job as a checkout clerk in a grocery store.
I am sure you can imagine what I felt like every time I meant someone from my former employer standing in the check out for me to wait on to say nothing about the family and friends or neighbors.
Now during this first year I also paid a head hunter to find me a better job and he took all my savings and then filed bankruptcy. Again I had to swallow my pride and endure the wrath of God (My wife) for losing all of our savings.
All of sudden I was having trouble with my health and again had open heart surgery in the middle of a house painting job I had taken to put food on the table after losing all of my savings.
My first year of retirement was a nightmare for me It was supposed to be a time of joy instead I felt like I was the poster child for making stupid decisions.
So yes Rich I certainly understand your feelings at this time but what we all are trying to say is what you perceive as being held up as having made a bad decision about your car does not reflect on you but rather on Chris who took a lot of trusting people down a very devious path for his own personal gain. Remember when you hired him to do your car he probably had done some good work for others and based on that you hired him to build your dream car. Your dream car is not dead and you are not being held up for ridicule but rather Chris is the one who has earned the title of stupid or bonehead or just plain thief.

Nope, not me.....

Hey Rich- Are you the same Rich from LI, NY?

Hey Rich,
If you go out to the shop today give me a call. I want to drive out there too so I can talk to Chris. Cell is 850-819-0477.

Thanks,
Mike

Tried to PM you but my box was full. Don't have the time right now to empty it.
Did you get your email I sent?

If you have been following my thread on the forged 427, you've been keeping up with the soap opera. The new engine is supposed to be delivered this week, so I'm hoping Chris will go full tilt to get 'er done for me. Been far too long....

Hi Rich,
just a hello on a slow Sunday afternoon.
How's the blue thunder doing ? Sadley found out that Mallett Corvettes is Chapter 11 and out of the game now.
Don't know if that's good or bad for me, LOL.
Anxious for Daytona 24 in a couple week's.
Usually crew for a couple different teams but this year is out by the looks of it.

Man, thanks for the invite, but we have that trip over to St. Augustine that week, and I'm not sure we'll be back by then.
