Worst thing you can do to a car or motorcycle being stored. You would need to drive it at least 10 miles to burn off any moisture. It sounds like the guy has more money then brains, and you made money off of him, that’s all that matters.
Again, he may have far more brains than anyone seems to give him credit for, and that amount of money, $6,000, is meaningless to him.
I have a high school friend who buys and sells companies for a living. Ivy League educated, Ivy League MBA. He makes more than that on a daily basis, just consulting. So why should he spend a couple of days picking up a car, and potentially, give up a consulting gig that could lead to other consulting gigs?
He got around to picking up the car when it was convenient for him, you all appear to be gob smacked over 6000 bucks, and I’m here to tell you: to some people it really isn’t very much money.
He may have bought this car, the same way that I have when I bought a pair of hunting boots, then leave them at my buddies house in Colorado, didn’t think about them, until my buddy says “hey, when are we going hunting again? Your boots are still here.” I buy him a couple beers, and we’re even for his “storage fee”.
For most of us, a car is a relatively big investment, and $6000 in storage is a decent amount of money. To this guy it may be nothing. The car may have just been something he bought on a lark, and he’s got integrity, so he pays the storage fee, but it really doesn’t make a dent in his budget.
Just because you don’t understand somebody else’s life, doesn’t make them an idiot.
