I enjoyed it for the 6 years I drove it (8 since I bought it, 2 years of which it took for him to almost complete it) and now it's time to move on!
David never completed the car because you bitched and complained about it taking him too long and he told you to get it the hell out of his shop.
Technically not a David Pagan car.
Plenty of builders take their time. In fact i know of one guy that has had just his engine at a trusted builders shop for 2 years
Tim at SFR has had alot of complaints recently and thats just getting parts out the door.
