[QUOTE="st0n3r, post: 8136035, member: 641361"] Actually it sounds as if you just dont want the job really. 40 miles is nothing when you are in need of money. Call the guy and tell him flat out there is a $25 consulting fee due up front and can be paid in cash in person or via PayPal. Drive out to his house, listen to his stereo and get his feedback on stuff, not what you think he wants. Thinking you know what someone else whom you do not know wants is bad for business. As others have mentioned also, if you cannot afford the gas to go out to his place you should NOT work on his car because if you do screw something up how do you intend to pay for it? Saying he sounded drunk is judgmental, what if he had a stroke and didnt have full feeling in his face, what if hes on medication, or any of the many learning disorders etc. You are complaining about him coming to your place just like you are his. You were found through craigslist it sounds so he is probably just as iffy about coming to meet a stranger and leaving his car with someone at their house compared to a shop... Think at it from his standpoint also. [/QUOTE]
