Seriously, the whole "Mom has dementia/Parkinson's/sister had a stroke and her kidneys failed/my shop got wiped out by the hurricane/my dog got effed up sounds either phony or this chick is one serious **** magnet.
Sounds like Fran at Fox Engineering, who shorted me about $1k worth of FI computer on a custom EFI he took years to build - then took it to a show to show off before he sent it to me and I saw pictures of it (maybe here?) before I ever saw it. Stopped returning my emails and wouldn't answer the phone. Wouldn't even man up enough to explain it. P.o.S.
