There are bad folks everywhere. It's a downer though when you expect the law to be there to protect you and it's not. I like Craig's suggestion though. It would be great to end this on some sort of a positive note. However, I've never been the type of person to seek revenge, as much as I wish for it. We'll probably just let it go and chalk it up as experience. Matt,

John paid a fraction of the bill and told the shop he would be back to pay the rest and he never went back. I think it's going to end up backfiring on us. We had the car out today. Personally I think the damn thing is cursed, but after today, I can tell that John is humming and hawing over whether to sell it or not. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

I mean it seems there are some consumer protections there and everyone agrees you're right but this guy is giving a big F U to the judge. I agree with the other posters- shame him. It's the way to do things in asia! :) I think it has nothing to do with the culture- there’s bad people like that in every culture.

He has the same problem as you. He's accustomed to that kind of lifestyle but he's homesick too. Stay on Taiwan or back to the America - it's really hard decision but I'm sure that your intuition won't fail you. When time is come you will choose the best option.

However, $12,000 later it is good to see the case is resolved. Now John has a car that is running and you two can put this mess behind you and go for some sweet rides. Road trip anyone?

And I love you for stopping by. I think you're one of the few friends I have overseas who actually makes the effort to comment anymore! :-) It doesn't surprise me in the slightest bit to learn that you already have your shoes picked out for the wedding. I wouldn't expect anything less from you. That's why I call you Bombastic! And your birthday? It hadn't escaped my mind. We're going to party like rockstars when you arrive. Get ready Ottawa! Vivita!
