Default Your car builder rapes you...what would you do?

Figuring this will be more muscle car oriented that lounge talk I'm guessing it goes here.

Let's say your highly trusted and highly regarded engine builder/automotive shop just absolutely took you to the cleaners and didn't even clean your nasty cloths? What would you do?

Let's say you gave this company several years, $75+ thousand dollars (not including some exotic parts you paid for out of pocket) and numerous chances to make your car drive-able. Yet they failed every time.

Let's say the first time your car was finally ready you were "informed" that you would be running $6 a gallon race gas from now on. And at that time you are shown where the tunnel in your car has been cut and hacked to make room for a needless but custom made, by them of course, part. This little hack job means water can run onto the engine from outside sources and engine fumes will enter the passenger compartment. Lots of them!

Let's say your car was left outside (w/o your knowledge) during the day and night and of course acquired the requisite scratches and sun damage.

What if after 3 attempts your speedometer, gas gauge, fan switch, rear defroster and parking brake, among other things, still did not work. You were told every single time to pick the car up because it war "ready".

What if this car got you stranded more than once? What if it stalled on you 10 times trying to get home from a car show that was 25 miles from your house? Once in the middle of one of the busiest intersections in the Southeast!! There might have been a trucker behind you that threatened to kill you too!

What if after his final attempt to "make your car normal" you were given a phony dyno sheet. And, on this final attempt you barely make it home with this ill-running horribly failed attempt at building a one-of-a-kind highly collectible muscle car.
Now, let's put the icing on the cake. What would you do if this fine upstanding citizen would not give you one single invoice for anything he did? No mfgs. warranty info, cam card, no paid invoice...nothing. Not one single invoice for parts or labor.

What would you do?
