Roger has been great with responding quickly to all my questions as I've gone along.
I want to keep communications on a good level with him. He did mention something about helping, in passing, kind of, and then he had to go.
I have worked on this car myself, and taken it as far as I can (to the point of injuring myself, overdoing it). Roger has helped with answering all my text and calls. I'm sure (just as I would) the last thing he wants to do is come up and help fix the car.
I haven't asked him directly. Again, I want to maintain good relations with Roger, I like him, this is just a super unfortunate situation.
I know what I would do myself, personally, if the situation were reversed, but that's me.
In fact, the super modified Subaru I sold to buy the Pantera, wouldn't start for the new owner on his trip home to Indiana. He was stuck in Reno. He left at 6pm. I got a call at 11:30, "Im at a gas station, and the car won't start, battery's dead". At 3:30 AM I got in my truck, drove 4 hours to Reno, got the car running for him and he happily drove off to Indiana and is happy with the car.
