    Hey All

    Is anyone in the Monterrey area able to work on a Forerunner motor for dirt cheap or free? Some folks have hit hard times and could use some help.

    Not knowing anything about who this is, or where you acquired this information makes me unsure about scamming.

    On that note, if this person really wanted to see their grandfather, a bus pass is going to be alot cheaper than driving a car there. On top of that they own a suburban... If you're that tight on money sell it and get a cheaper more reliable car.

    Her message states that grandpa is doing well and recovering back home. Doesn't sound very life or death dire situation to me.

    Call me a dick if you want, but I am a real stickler about giving away money unless I know or trust the person. You asked if anyone would be able to work and fix their car, thats one thing, but the message is just asking for money really. They are losing their house but they live in an apartment???? Sounds like the vehicle is in Marysville btw. Very fishy.

    Brian, you are not a dick. I think your B.S. meter is in the red like mine is. This sounds like a big scam. Driving 4 hours from time to time? Why would we repair the 4runner of an 80yr old in monterrey? The daughter lives in marysville and has a suburban? Why would the 4runner need to be repaired? She is just asking for money. If they were TW members it would be a different story. Good luck wishes for them and thats it.

    Sounds like a scam to me. Just too much about this just makes it sound like an idiot wrote it.
