I was the first person to post and I knew who it was immediately after reading the very last word of the last sentence of his thread. Now, there you go....another big hint.
The vendor is pretty obvious to anyone that cruises Pro-touring and here...
The biggest issue is the blur between being friends and and having an objective view on how a company runs itself. The vendor you mention has a lot of friends on both sites...he's a nice personable guy...he's helped out alot of people and is well liked on a personal level....but over and over he has shown a pattern of not running a trustworthy business.
But the personal connections and friendships make it hard for some people to open their eyes and see it for what it really is... their friend couldnt possibly be screwing people over...he's a friend... its hard for some people to look past that. So they will come to his defense over and over
Bottomline for me is that sporadic issues come up with any company you deal with...no company is perfect...but patterns dont lie and this vendor has shown the same pattern over and over despite all his excuses and promises that its a "hiccup" as his business is expanding/moving/changing computers etc etc....
I would like to say sorry if it sounded like a threat... but it is 7000.00 dollars. I will fly out and find the vendor ...and it is not one that has been mentioned YET Wes
is it a vendor on this site? If so please pm me with the info, I'll see what I can do.
OK, he's not a sponsor here. He is a sponsor on Pro Touring though. I recommend you getting hold of Larry over there and see if he can help you. I would think he can. I am not trying to pass the buck, but since he's not a vendor here I have no pull with him at all.
In a wierd way, I'm glad it wasnt just me. It happened to me twice. Once on a ricks gas tank, Next time on a moser 12 bolt.
Wierd thing, After waiting for parts for so long, I kinda lost interst in my car. I'm doing so many different things besides my car now, that its on the back burner. I'll finish it one of these days. Just need some motavation.
Seriously, why not have a bad vendor or buyer thread? We have been using it for a while now on pirate4x4 (I am an admin there), and has worked great, we actually just helped a vendor that was having isues with a buyer $4000 guy in Canada. things get hashed and resolved.
Why not post the vendor info here? Seriously, if you got screwed, probably more people here that already go or will be getting screwed by the same company, so consider it public service. You got ripped off on a lot of money, step up and post who it is so other can hopefully avoid the same pitfall.

10% agreed. This protect a bad vendor thing is just plain BS, do the right thing and help us out. Most of us spend hundreds or thousands of dollars with vendors in our hobby. The act outs and rip offs without repercussions it just BS.
Sure, panties bundled in a bunch here, but I had to deal with vendors that tried ripping me off and other people off and lets say that was addressed.
