That being said i have to agree with the other posts the seller has kept his part of the deal you have sat on your hands and done nothing to fix the situation now the guy is telling you to **** or get off the pot and you are bitching that he's being an ***, damn dude you have had 11 months to transport that car
Gotta agree with you, lou, especially in light of the things that the OP has said about a man keeping his word. Seems to me the gentleman in possession of the car
has kept his word. The OP (or more specifically, the OP's brother) hasn't.

As far as your brother going by himself and all them exchuses is pure bullshit all of us here have done solo road trips and i personally had a boat transport busness i went all over and stayed in some isolated places [unarmed] and nothing happened
I agree with you there. How many truck drivers do we have on this board? Most of them go it alone, making a living going into places that would leave the OP s***ing himself if he's afraid of mechanical breakdowns, flat tires, blah, blah blah... Hell, my old man got robbed at gunpoint making a delivery down in Philly. He still got in that truck everyday, still made his miles, still earned his living, through snow, ice, traffic, breakdowns, flats, bad neighborhoods, etc.

It's you in my opinion whom has not held up his word,and how dare you bash him for his health problems weather he brought them on himself or not it's none of your busness.
Especially in light of the fact that the OP is dealing with some very serious health issues in his family, you'd think he'd be more sympathetic to others who are facing serious health issues themselves, no matter what the cause.
Look, I got no dog in this fight. But to the OP, a lot of good points are being made in your direction, especially in light of the statements you've made concerning the other gentleman. Maybe it's time to stop pointing the finger at him and start looking in the mirror.
Trust me, 33, I can understand the stress you're under. I understand the need to vent, know how the stress can get to you to the point that things just seem to go into the shitter no matter how hard you try. I understand you wanting to be close to the boy (I can't leave my wife alone, unattended, til the docs say so) and I can understand how things can seem to pile up on you. Right now, it probably feels like the weight of the world is on your shoulders.
But, truthfully, it's time to tell your brother to man up. Either go get the car or talk to the dude himself about what needs to be done to take care of this to everyone's satisfaction.
