Shattered Neons
About 2 1/2 years ago, I bought, for 110 bux, a set of undercar neons for a car I was dressing up to go to shows with. Had nice rims, custom interior, body kit, carbon fiber hood, aftermarket headlights and taillights. Anyway it was pretty sharp. I've since gotten rid of the car.
But anyway, the neons I bought from a guy who called himself GRimRyder and he was a member on 7th Gen Civic.com. So anyway, I received the package like 3 months later and all 4 neon tubes were completely shattered. They were packaged with NO padding of any kind. No bubble wrap, no peanuts, no nothing. I quite assume they were shattered to hell before he ever put them in the box because all the glass was within' the tubes. Upon pulling out the neon tubes from the packaging, there was very little glass in the box. So like uhhh....I told the guy about it and he insisted that the package was insured so I would get my money back and he was sorry for the inconvenience...yeah right.
2 weeks later, I emailed him. He said that he was trying to find the paperwork for the insured package. He told me to call FedEX and see what's up. I called FedEX and they said that the sender of the package was responsible for filing the insurance paperwork. Oh by the way...the package had no labeling on it. Didn't have my address, no FedEX or USPS or UPS or any kind of labeling. I'm thinking he delivered them himself or through some cheap ass shipping company or whatever. Whatever the deal, they eneded up in front of my house one day when I got home. Obviously nobody had to sign for them.
2 weeks passed again...He said his "secretary" had the paperwork in her briefcase and she was out of town. The only problem with his secretary story was that in a previous post on 7thgencivic.com, he had stated that he was an E-2 in the US Military. E-2...so that puts him at somewhere between 18 and 22 years old making next to nothing, living in the barracks on a post somewhere in a room with a bunk bed. How many people in that particular situation have a secretary? Exactly...
So he disabled his email address. I started getting rejects.
2 1/2 years pass...
I was thinking about my neons and I did a search for "Grimryder" and "neons" and guess where I find him? He actually DRIVES a Dodge Neon now and he still uses the username GRimRyder on the Neon SRT forums.
Of course...it had his email address listed GRiMRyder@yahoo.com so I of course sent him a strongly worded email inquiring as to the status of his secretary. Is she back in town yet? It's been 2 1/2 years...maybe she's back.
