The same thing works on the other side of the spectrum. There are other companies on this board that seem to always make it work out perfect and those are the ones flurishing and growing!
I guess what I am trying to say is....why would a company use poor business sense when dealing with such a tight knit group of auto enthusiasts? Kinda foolish if you ask me. Anyways best of luck again brotha!

A clue: the author of this quote is buried in the same cemetery in Paris as Jim Morrison.
Remember, there's an award riding on this, but you do get points for busting out the Klingon... ("If winning is not important, why keep score?")

eddie,
It is not a good sign for a company when a member of your status has to vent their dissatisfaction on this board. I can't help but to wonder what a company is thinking.
News like this is a sure way to lose a business.
I sure hope it is resolved soon for the sake of both of you.

YOU CAN!!! A bunch of 6 speeders who started out as enthusiasts (like you and me) have opened shop and seem to be doing well.
I feel like starting one too!!!
