About a week to 10 days later he showed up on my front step screaming and cursing that the transmission went bad in the car and I was going to pay for it. This all in front of the neighbors that were having a party outside at the time. He said I had to know about the issue. I asked him if him or his mechanic noticed any problem he said no. He was threatening me as well as my property at this point. I asked him to hold a minute as I went back into the house and got a telephone as well as put my HK USP 40 on my belt. I told him this could go several ways and he was the one choosing witch way that was. 1. We could call the Police as he was now trespassing. 2. He could file a civil claim at the magistrates office and I would gladly abide by their decision. 3. He could just leave and forget this ever happened or 4. Something very very stupid. As I said # 4 I placed my hand on the HK. He got in his car still cursing and yelling. I called in a favor from a buddy of mine that does transmissions and had him do the work for the cost of parts plus $150. The guy was thrilled and we are friends still today.

That is an incredible story.
