It's good to see people scamming the system. Whether it's a truck,welfare,or whatever. I love how everyone makes us honest people foot the bill for them. Congratulations beerandnuts. You are just the kind of person that helped our country get the way it is.
For the record,you should have manned up. Grown a set and paid your bill. That's just plain pathetic.

 

Agreed, it was his fault but didn't want to take responsibility. I can imagine from now on he will have an uphill battle with anything he wants done to that truck. But whatever, the cost will trickle down to honest customers later on.

 

Crappy thing is he is proud of it. If I were a dishonest person, I damn sure wouldn't go on a public forum and tell the world. I would keep that under wraps.

 

Must be a liberal

 

He did pay for the work when he bought the truck with the warranty.

Fighting for what you think is right is not being dishonest, it is standing up for yourself and what you think is right.

The reason we have to fight for what is right is because of people that will roll over and take it up the old exit shoot and not question anything, and letting people walk all over them. Then when someone has the gonads to stand up and fight for what they think is right they call him a dis honest person.

 

Make up your mind rickyp. Was he fighting for what he believed was right,or for what was right. Just because he thought he was right,doesn't make it so. When someone intentionally drives through a water/mud puddle at 30 mph,they are asking for it. You can argue that it shouldn't have happened all day long. In the end,he was wrong,and admitted so. He drove a truck through standing water without thinking of the consequences. Where in the warranty does it reference paying for someones stupidity? I obviously missed that section.
BTW,I think the whole story is crap anyways. Who in their right mind would even attempt to sue ford over a $1200? A lawyer typically requires a retainer fee. Up front. And since their isn't significant monetary gain for anyone involved,I seriously doubt a lawyer would even entertain the ridiculous idea of a suit. I think he just wanted everyone else to foot the bill for his mistake. Remember folks,what goes around comes around. Karma is a bi+ch

 

I am sorta new here and have just read this whole thread. WOW! Very entertaining. And to think must of us HONEST, hardworking folks wonder why the dealerships have to charge so much more for parts and service than other mom and pop places. Its because of guys who drive their trucks through water holes, flood out the engine and then force the dealer to pay for the damages. Go figure. If your gonna play, either learn to pay or fix if your self.

 

I second that. Again.

whatever you, me or anyone thinks doesn't matter, The P.O. thought he is right enought to fight for this.

one doesn't need a lawyure to sue anyone/ company. and it only takes a few bucks for the filing fees and some time. People sue on prinsiple all the time

 

Do you really think an individual,without a LAWYER,could sue Ford? You are way off. Suing someone based on PRINCIPLE, doesn'ttypically work. You have to have just cause. You would get laughed out of court if you told a judge,I am suing because I think I am right. He had no basis for a suit. Another thing,if he told ford he was going to sue,they would immediately tell hil to have his attorney contact them. Thats how a suit works. Once you bring a lawyer into it,there is no more room to bargain.
