Seen it work for a friend, saw my mom get kind of screwed (not horribly I guess) and my brother get really screwed (as in the car should have had a salvage title). Carfax was done on both of them, what a waste of time. Carfax is pretty worthless sometimes because people can get in a huge crash (i.e. wrap the car around a phone poll) but as long as there's no police report/insurance claim, carfax will never know. So, the person can pay out of pocket just to get the car semi-working and then dump it...the perfect place to dump is ebay. My advice: only buy a car off of ebay if you can personally check it out or have a trusted friend/mechanic check it out. It's always good to have a mechanic check any car out, but especially one for sale on the internet. Some people do ok on ebay, but I think a good number get anywhere from a little screwed to extremely screwed. And to add, my brother's car came from a dealership (or so they called themselves). So just b/c it's from some dealership in TX or whatever, does not make the description legit.

Well, no one knows a f*cking thing about being a fighter pilot until they've gone through the training and then some. So, every single person who goes through IFF and then a RTU doesn't know a thing about being a fighter pilot until they've gone through it all. So yeah, the moral is don't screw up...because anyone could screw up, FAIPs and all.

I had lunch with a guy a few days ago who's oldest son is now an IP at Vance. He (the son) knows a guy who put in his FAIP time, getting about 1000 hours. He then went to Tyndall and failed 15 school. The AF kicked him out. Moral of the story, watch your ass and don't screw up...force shaping sucks.
