9:01am…read more talked to Mike Kirkpatrick, the owner.
My life situation; I am 74-years old, and a disabled Marine for 54-years, 1971. I live 75-miles away, in Stillwater, OK. I have lived alone have little use of L-arm, and a bad sciatic nerve on my R-leg. We talked, I asked endless details; is the car a good ride, how are the shocks, is everything working on the car, have you driven the car, what is the condition outside and inside, how is the stereo/CD, is there anything I should know, does it have a clear title, A/C, heater working good?
Told him again, "The last thing I want is to take an Uber back home, are we clear, Mike." Mike said, "ready to go now, works great."
......
2:15 - Bought Lexus, the lady and Michael come out, say goodbye, and I am off.
2: 30 - the Temp gauge was on L, and never moved or got hotter, to the middle level. I had gone 12 miles, or so, and the A/C never got any cooler it stopped. 100 degrees in the car, shirt is sweated out instantly.
2:40 - the A/C shut off completely, was going 65 mph on the highway
2:45 - "Engine Check Light" was on there were cars all around the Lexus, got in the slow lane looking for a gas station. Go past 2 or 3 exits, nothing, finally 2nd street in Sand Springs. Just got off, and the engine blew up. Smoke from the engine, not steam, not good, at the corner of 2nd & Main. Not doing well, my shirt is sopping wet, feeling dizzy.
I was about to pass out, just walked into the Tower Loans business 30-feet from the Lexus, sat in a chair. The sweat was washing my glasses off my face. Got cold chills, no good for Dylan, walked back outside left my briefcase and cane by my chair.
4:50 - Joe shows up, we talk, and I ask for his business card, I went back inside the Tower Loans, there was a large glass window to watch everything,
Joe just leaves, with the Lexus!!!!!
There is no legal documentation, I authorize the towing.
*****Joe was hired by Mike, to come 30-miles, and get the Lexus???
NO PAPERWORK, I signed nothing! When the engine blew up, Joe said, "didn't have enough oil, probably!!!! I got the feeling, he did not trust, Mike... they might have done, some illegal business, together!
9-5-2025 - Mike has the Lexus car, and my $4700 of my money, and have not heard a word in 2-weeks!!!
I have no idea, where the Lexus is Today, No Money, and NO documents!
