Post subject:  Need Help Getting Camaro From Strip Lot
Here's the thing, in Kitzigen there are 2 fourth gens. On I think is a 1994. It has been sitting in the 'in processing' lot for over a year now. I've tried to inquire about this car, but told its still being 'inprocessed'??? Within the past month a fourth gen 1/2 (98+) has arrived under the same conditions.
I want these cars for us. I am NOT out to make money. If anyone has any connections or suggestions to help this situation, please let me know.

So, does that mean they will be up for grabs soon, or does that mean someone is bringing them in from somwhere else? What kind of lot are they in?

Dude, I thought that was their PDO lot or something. This is really starting to piss me off now. Over a year inprocessing. Looks like I need to ETS and work over in Kitzingen. Hmmmm.

Let's say your pcs-ing and turn in your beater to the strip lot. Its the area it sits in so they can drain the fluids and inprocess the car into the strip lot.

Rob, the pdo lot is the next street up by the gate.

I think it may have something to do with one of the employees there having personal interest in the cars. ....that's what I heard....

Robin, you may be right, but why would they leave it there for over a year?

That is the same thing that Aaron heard. He said that one if the guys, that has a v6 firebird, about advise on an LT1. I am all for jumping the fence and leaving a frame on blocks. Anyone with me? :)

Seems like the more I hear about this, the more I think that that place needs new management.

Robin, when you getting back? Or are you already? I got a copy of CHP that needs an autograph.

That's what I've heard. I called today and was asked why i am interested in getting parts from these cars. Hmmm...wonder why someone would call a strip yard and ask about getting car parts. Needless to say, they were unable to help me or give me an estimated time on when the cars would be available. So, take it from that. I'm calling them twice tomorrow morning and four times in the afternoon. Then I'll have my wife call. I'm finding out if a pregeant woman is pissed, things seem to happen faster!

Rob, the squeeking I've heard from my belt... the part that goes by the ps pump wasn't in the grooves. Its good, only now I noticed a big rip in my bellow. So we have to get these cars!!!

I was talking with a buddy, who is clearing, and he went by there today. He said that the guy he was talking to said that he would call and find out the proceedures on how to get the parts or get the cars auctioned. He said that he was just acting like he didn't know what the deal was, and said that a buddy of his has a Camaro that needs a tranny. My buddy, said that he will stop by there tomorrow to see what the guy comes up with, if anything. I will be gone tomorrow, but I will talk my wife into posting anything that might be good.

Hey All! Well, it seems Robert got out okay...left last night and I haven't heard back yet, but I'll assume they're okay. I haven't heard from his buddy yet...I'm hoping he stops by today. About the dudes out at Kitzingen, I'm sure I can help y'all out quick, fast, and in a hurry. They've been hedging on those cars for over a year now, and it's time to go over their heads. Nothing like getting a call from the big boss, right? Make a call to the DCA's office, look for a guy named Rick Randall. He's in charge of making sure all MWR activities keep all of us in the community happy. I think a call to him, questioning the intentions of the strip-lot guys, would get those cars released pretty quickly. But, that's just what I'm thinking. Now if you fellas will excuse me, now that Robert is gone his dog decided to crap all over the house, so now I have some cleaning to do. See ya!

I'll call first thing in the morning. I think they should just donate the cars to fbe.

So anything new from Adam on those cars Paula? I hope he don't fly before he says what happened. Paula just put a skirt on and go down there and see what you can get out of those guys...

Hehe, what can I say? My guy misses me....and now the skirt-talk begins. :wink:

No, haven't heard from Adam yet...had to get Leroy to come change a lightbulb though! Not quite tall enough for the livingroom fixture. I'll let you, and the rest of the board, know if Adam drops by.

Alright guys, here's the deal. Adam stopped by this afternoon and said he went to the Kitzingen strip lot and talked with a guy there named Freddy. Apparently they can't do anything with the Camaros there until their liens are released from their banks. So there isn't anything a phone call or complaining can accomplish until the banks have filed the right paperwork and make them free and clear of any ownership. Freddy also gave Adam a phone number of a dude in this area who has two transmissions for sale...Siggy. Robert has dealt with Siggy before and didn't have the best of luck with him. Rich, you know him, right? Well, I don't know what to do. Does anyone know about the 2 trannies he has? Will either of them fit my car? I'm stuck here at the house with no car, I'm terribly bored, getting a little depressed...OH! And the registration on my car expires Today. Yep. Any advice? Anyone? I just got back here after a month in the States. Rob's been gone 3 days and honestly, I don't know how he managed. Thankfully he'll be back next week.

Paula :)

Paula, I have a good link with Siggy. I'll talk to him and find out about the trannies and a price. It won't be until Wednesday though. I'm getting my car inspected Tuesday and like I told Rob, I can donate my tranny for a couple of days so you can get your car inspected. They normally will give you a month. I'd call them tomorrow just to let them know your husbands gone and your car is due. With my tranny though, We got to do it within two or three days. My wife is 7 1/2 months pregenant and this will put me car-less. Anything I can do to help let me know.

Hey Aaron, I appreciate the offer. Rob should be home within the next 3 days and likes the idea of borrowing your transmission at least to get the car through inspection. I'm good for nothing when it comes to doing the manual labor though! As for Siggy, I'm not even sure we're going that route. Hotrod has been busting his a$$ trying to get my tranny fixed, but there have been nothing but problems and now he's just gotten back from emergency leave. Adam was trying to help out by giving me Siggy's number. Thanks for offering to help, I really do appreciate it. I was hoping to be proactive and get things done while Rob was gone, but now it looks like I'll have to wait until he gets back... :( I just can't wait until we have no more car issues. Cars suck!

Paula :)
