Cars for kids. STOP

[m408]

A couple of guys, rollinoldskoo and mademan, think that this may be a scam.

After accusing them of nasty things, I realized that they had a point. I didn't check Carl or his friend out before I got you all involved in this. Maybe I'm just to trusting.

Anyhow, before shipping any models, I suggest a moratorium to determine just what is what. My models are already gone. They are of little value anyhow, but you guys builds are heavy duty and I wouldn't want to see you lose them because of my blind thinking.

Here is what I do know.

I "googled" the company that I shipped my models to in Grand Rapids. Search came up "unknown".

Only Carl McCarthy lawyer that I could find was in New York., not Grand Rapids.

I'm hoping that I'm wrong, but maybe rollinoldskoo and mademan are right. My cars are on the way but yours don't have to be. Hold off on shipments until we can verify that this is real.

Carl?

Milt,

Sadly I don't get listed until after I pass the State Bar Exam...makes me nervous just saying it. But as I've tried to say I am doing my best to work through school to get into a Law Firm in Grand Rapids. Im still a student, 3rd year but still a student.

As a result of the job Im at I came to be friends with Rachel.

It seems to me this has gotten slightly out of hand. To big to fast maybe? I think the best way to do this is to let me buy the cars. Any objections? I know where they are going too and I know Rachel. I have a clear advantage in this. So rather than you guys all worrying about it, let me ppurchase those that you want to sell and let that be that.

I really didn't mean for things to go quite this way. Hindsight sometimes tells me I should just keep my mouth shut sometimes. Id have saved you all a lot of stress if I had just kept in the spirit of my orginal post and not opened my yapper. Pehaps a little of my own pride got in the way. In either case enough stress for all of us.

I'll keep working to purchase some cars and help Rachel out, something I set out to do from the start, I think we'll stop taking donations and Milt I will make sure I send you your cars back if you wish: no hard feelings at all. Hell guys maybe there is a hospital close to you and you could do the same thing for the kids there, I think the idea has some legs to it no reason you can't act on it without the fear of being scammed. Im sure it will make a difference there too.

Again sorry if this has caused any problems or fights. Not my goal or my intentions.

Carl,

I hope that this is a real deal.

My cars should be there Thursday. Take a couple of pictures of them with a kid or displayed in a hospital room and post it on the forum. That might be all of the proof that some would need.

As for my cars, keep them. If this is a legit cause, at least two kids will be a little happier. If not, I will be a little bit wiser.
