Why
Why does bad shit have to happen to me? I was buying this car from a somewhat friend supposedly and the transmission went out. He came to pick it up to get the transmission fixed because he told me whenever I took the car that he just got the transmission put in and it was under warranty. So he come picked it up to get it fixed. A week later he told me that I needed to have $100 to him by the end of the day. I didn't have $100 by the end of the day but I did have $50 by the next day and I sent the $50 to him. Two weeks later I was in Lubbock and was hoping to pick the car up. I told him I had the $220 remaining on the vehicle, if I could go ahead and pick it up. He informed me that he did not get the transmission fixed that he put it in the bullpen, I guess for the auction. Anyways he no longer had the vehicle. I paid $1,400 for this car. I now I have nothing to go see my son next weekend, whenever I haven't seen him in 6 months.
Reaction: Too real..
Just reading this, the follow-through is what will decide this and that’s where people will push back That’s what makes this interesting.
Without overthinking it, this reads stronger on paper than in practice which is why this is getting picked apart Not convinced this is settled yet.
the signal is clear, the strategy less so and that’s what people are responding to That part stands out. Feels like there’s more coming here.
If you zoom out, the signal is clear, the strategy less so which is why the comments look the way they do Hard to say where this lands long term.
the main issue seems to be how this is handled
there’s a lot said here but not much clarified and that friction is hard to ignore Curious how this plays out.
this comes across more reactive than planned which explains why reactions are split
From my side, this feels like a half-step, not a full move and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone That’s the key detail here. We’ll see how people react over time.

the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here and that’s where people will push back That’s the impression it gives me.

Trying to be fair, this feels more about execution than intent so the response doesn’t surprise me That part stands out.

It sounds really frustrating to deal with a situation like that, especially when trust is involved. It's tough when so much is on the line, and a friend's behavior ends up making things worse. It’s a reminder to be cautious about mixing business with friendships.
