Broken Promises, Shattered Dreams

[Johnnyallstar]

Quick back story. I'm a car guy. I love working on, tweaking, driving, and everything else about cars. Especially the cars of the muscle car era, '64-72.

Sob Story: I happened upon a guy who was selling one of my dream cars. Buick Skylark GS, with the 455 stage 1 engine, convertible, lemans blue with black rally stripe and ragtop, with less than 30k miles. I immediately jumped on it when he said he was selling it for 3 grand. I had just bought a guitar and spent 2k in car repairs, so I told him I was going to get a loan. He agreed to sell it to me, and I ran to get a loan ASAP. I get back to him, he had sold the car.

So now I'm sitting on an auto loan with no car, a loan company that's desperate to get me to buy ANY car, and a broken heart because I was so excited to get the car, it broke my dreams.

Anyone else got a sob story that broke their heart?

What a fucking douchebag.

Anyway, can't think of any particulary juicy sob stories. Sorry. WAIT THIS IS ONE IN THE MAKING

Damn that bastard. Your story makes me angry and sympathetic at the same time. Ambivalent is the word I am looking for.

As for me, about eight years ago my family had won a trip to Mauritius (an island off South Africa) all expenses paid. Then my dad had an aneurysm. We didn't go to Mauritius.

Seemed appropriate. As for myself, I don't have any major sob stories (being 15), and the closest I have are simply teen angst, so uh.... <url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SoYeah>yeah.

Don't worry, you're young yet, you got plenty time to get screwed over by life

I was so excited for Assassin's Creed. Then I put it in my xbox and started playing.

I thought that would count as a spoken contract or something! What a jerk.

Um... I don't really have a sob story. There have been bad things that have happenned to me, but nothing I would consider that bad.
I suppose the worst thing that has happened would be my flute teacher dying from cancer just randomly one week, when she looked so much like she was recovering
This is sort of a depressing thread
