After all of this if anyone still wants to visit VIP well then they know what to expect. |
IF ONLYYYYYYYYYY you made this thread like many weeks prior I definitely wouldn't have been one of his victims. Either or, through out all this bullshit, I probably wouldn't have made my own thread about VIP/Talha. I don't usually like doing this and putting people on blast, but when I read your post he already had my car so I had to roll with it. I thought I was a single victim of a one time bad incident. Once I saw how many others had similar experiences I had to speak up too. Feels like an online AA meeting or something lol
Thanks big time for taking the time to even make this thread. It really brought everything to light, and the kind words from you RS'ers helped put my mind at ease, and the douchebaggery was entertaining.
I guess we'll see in the new year if I make another rant. 
Merry Christmas everyone.

I just wanted my money back from him. I felt personally ripped off by him. Kind of like a Craigslist scammer. So I figured I would let him know that he shouldn't fuck around and just settle up.
Hence why I didn't post a full address. Just a teaser so he knew I'm not just BS'ing. Sure I could've PM'd him but Pm'ing/Calling him got me nothing but repeated lies and false assurances.
I honestly feel I should've gotten ALL my money back, along with some compensation for the hassle, the damaged grill/gas cap and the fucking oil stains in my UBER clean garage floor. I see it every time I pull into my garage I think of this experience.

Also, per reddit, the brewery that took over that building was sold last year.
