Sooo.. My '05 STi has mismatched VIN plates.

[speedminded]

The only benefit I could see is that he broke something on Miranda's car and rather than get busted and maybe yelled at by his girl...he switched it for a good one that was handy and hoped no one would notice.

oh, well of course, that sounds like a great reason to blow up on someone to me.

I'd be willing to bet that the sensor will come out of the plastic piece so if that was the case they would have been switched and not the entire strip including the VIN. If not, than that would be a horrible design on scooby's part...especially with combining a cosmetic piece, functional/electronic part, and vin plate...what if there was a malfunction with the sensor...any idea how difficult it is to have a VIN plate reproduced? Wouldn't make sense that the parts wouldn't be interchangeable.

I don't get it.. I do not know trhoppe Or tom in anyway, shape or form..

He got blame for something.. Which He admitted, Apologized and said would pay for anything he has to and yet gets flamed. He even called him self a dumbass.. and still gets flamed.

I give him props for keeping his cool after getting Verbally butt fucked.

no offense miranda, but this thread is stupid... IA is just a place where a small scratch will quickly turn into a festering wound.. IA is not the place for this.

Very true, why start a dilemma about a small dash. Get it replaced, he said sorry fucking to many times already.

[Tracy]

May I ask a question and get a serious response? Why is this not the place for talking about someone who took something off of one persons car and put it on another persons car? This is a car forum and she had an incident with her car. Her Vins are now mismatched and she is getting calls from others saying she better check her stuff. Just because it is her ex? How would we all like it if she got pulled over and they checked the vins and she went to jail? No one here has heard the full story, so it's not anyone's place to say. VINS are not a small dash problem. It's a pretty serious thing. It's a FEDERAL crime if you do not have your vin or if there are issues with them...remember that

Just because he apologized does not mean that it was right or that it's over I love how everyone on here has been given the right to judge but when it's their turn to bitch they want to be heard....sad.

...but he was layin pipe in her so obviously she is doing this because they aren't together anymore and she hates him. He admitted he made a mistake and apologized, what more do you want? I'm sure the problem is getting resolved so whats the point of talking about it still other than the Jerry Springer drama to continue.

Should she be able to tar, feather, and stone him also? Why is admitting fault and an apology not enough?

very true tracy, but this is a simple matter that now that it has been caught it can be simply resolved..i am a good friend of miranda's but all this post is doing besides giving entertainment to the masses, is allowing miranda to vent.. but why vent to IA and bring her personal life into this drama filled board. All it will do is open up more drama when other shit is brought into this.

Miranda is one of the smartest girl's I know. I trust that she know's what she is doing. What if someone else's car that was down there had the same thing happen? They may want to know. This may be their warning call to go and check their car out (not saying that it is the case but it could very well be or not be). Maybe she is pissed and got a little "emotional" but I think her intentions are right. That Classic Subaru sat down there for months. If it was being used to swap parts by Tom I think people should know that If it wasn't...no big deal, right? To me it's like saying so and so did an awful job on my car and I want to warn others. If someone did that shit to my car...trust everyone would hear about it. BTW, How does everyone here know how Subaru is taking this? Did ya'll call them and ask. I think that's an assumption.

Maybe it's a big deal and his intentions were not in the right place...maybe it was an accident. I'm sure we'll all find out as the story progresses.

In from break...


I will invite all of you to do a search for my username and see if I have talked ANY shit about Tom and our personal life. It's never happened, because our personal issues have no place here. We've been broken up for a good while now, and I'm sure both of us are MUCH happier for it.

However, this is a serious issue that could have caused me a serious problem if the authorities ever got involved.

Of course there's more to it. I know for a fact he did this intentionally so he wouldn't get in trouble with me for breaking my shit. I know there's a lot more to it than the car, but that's no one's business here. I'm stating nothing about him personally. I'm talking ONLY about what he did to the car. And given the fact that I don't ever sit on here and talk shit about him, I would hope that some of you would know that I have it on good authority what actually happened. Just because he runs on here and acts very innocent and polite, doesn't mean he IS innocent and polite. I know there are some of you on here who know him or have heard our conversations (even concerning this very issue) who could say otherwise.

In the end, I don't talk shit for the sake of drudging up dirt. If I were that kind of girl, my number one complaint wouldn't be this issue with the car.

Hey girl...fuck it. Good things happen to good people. I know what your intentions are and I know how you are. It will all turn out in your favor in the end see ya soon

i dont ever remember seeing a post about how your stereo turned out uber crappy on the boards at all.. i do remember you saying how crappy it was and dan was not happy with it and so on... belive me in no way am i trying to defend TOM ...i barley know him been to a few race events with him and miranda.. personally he is a bit cocky...but anyways Miranda is a great girl as i posted above but i feel that IA has a way of twisting a situation into a big ball of poop, and gets way more out there than needed on both sides....

[Miranda]

And Tracy has a great point...

You guys have NOO idea how Subaru has been about this. This is not some little mistake. This is costing Subaru money (as they have a car they can't sell), and this is a problem for Topspeed. Regardless of Tom's "intentions", he messed with another one of Topspeed's customer's vehicles. How does that make Topspeed look?

really, cuz I posted it you must have missed it. As a matter of fact, John called me the second after I posted it and begged me to let him fix it. I decided to give him that chance, but of course he never took me up on it

you are correct i actually remember seeing it now...my bad.. it was taken off.. actually i was sitting at johns place when i pointed it out to him right before big M little organ called ya... previois statement is retracted.....

sok I took it down since he called to make good on it. I was just over it by the time he didn't come thru on it. I had been dealing with it for like 4 months or something rediculous (maybe not that long) and I had already had quite a few yelling matches with him about it up until that point.

[BABY J]

In from break... I will invite all of you to do a search for my username and see if I have talked ANY shit about Tom and our personal life.

...I also used to date the biggest douchebag that ever crossed the sea from Europe into this beautiful country, Tom. So, I'm sure you can imagine how effed up this story is gonna be.

^^ Before you even start you put your EMOTIONS into a thread that really only needed your FACTS and your BRAIN. You are bashing his character when you SHOULD be bashing his wrenching skills, or lack thereof.

It's never happened, because our personal issues have no place here. We've been broken up for a good while now, and I'm sure both of us are MUCH happier for it.

If you are MUCH HAPPIER for breaking up, then why bring that part of it into the thread? OBVIOUSLY you are not done w/ him emotionally or you just got so hurt and you have not let it go. Had you not said that, there is no way this thread would have turned like it did. You just make it seem as if you had a personal vendetta. I think most can agree that he probably didn't want to hear a shitstorm from you (if he did break parts), so he tried to "patch" an issue and he figured he would have time to fix his mistake later. I have done this very thing... use my wholesale accounts to get parts for some1... some1 ELSE wants the same part and has the money NOW, so I move the part, re-order and get a new 1 in before the original customer knows the difference. Sure, it happens in the car game. There is not a shop in the world that's been in business for any length of time that doesn't make it happen when time is on the line... IT HAPPENS. He was just a fucktard for using a piece w/ a VIN. LOL. I TOTALLY agree w/ you there.

However, this is a serious issue that could have caused me a serious problem if the authorities ever got involved.

Worse case scenario, a state trooper will impound the vehicle and give u a ride home... but even THAT is unlikely considering that the dash is only ONE location where the VIN is and your insurance card will definitely show you that you are legit owner (door jamb VIN > dash VIN). REGISTERING the vehicle would cause you more problems than just driving it around. but in your defense (not that you need ME to defend you), you shouldn't even have to deal with THAT either. ESPECIALLY when all he had to say was "hey, I broke XYZ... gimme some time to get it squared away for you."

Of course there's more to it. I know for a fact he did this intentionally so he wouldn't get in trouble with me for breaking my shit. I know there's a lot more to it than the car, but that's no one's business here. I'm stating nothing about him personally. I'm talking ONLY about what he did to the car.

Ok, you can stop saying you do not talk shit about him b/c this thread proves that you do... or proves that you did, at least once. There are forums for that if you want to vent as well. Let's just say that you try REEELY hard not to make it personal but sometimes you miss the mark. At the end of the day, he fucked up, he needs to make it right. And he DEFINITELY needs to return phone calls to a customer. BAD MOVE!

[Big Baller]

WOW, I missed all the drama.

Miranda, I hope you get you're stolen vin number back and I hope they prosecute Tom or Whoever for it.

[evo9gsr]

Wow what a waste of time reading this whole thread.

My cliff notes: Tom pulls dash cover off miranda's car to have cage put in. Can't figure how to put dash cover in after cage has been installed. Removes dash pad from another car and compares with her dash pad. Figures out how it should go back in. Accidentally puts the wrong one back in the wrong cars and doesn't realize there is a Vin number on it. Then the owners of the car find out. Call Topspeed and Miranda... Topspeed has no idea what they are talking about. So Topspeed calls Tom who doesn't work for them but at the time had a partial sponsorship with Miranda and was allowed to use the shop to work on their car. Tom then realizes that he made a mistake and put the wrong dash pad into the wrong cars... no biggie he admits to it. Makes arangments with both parties to swap them back out. Both parties agree and both are happy.

/end cliffnotes/


Other than that all I see are a bunch of ATTENTION WHORES and another shop trying to egg on a situation they should have no involvment in other then trying to benifit themselves.. what they really should do is worry about their own problems, which they have pleanty of.
