Exactly!! Two of the most realest statements. Exactly why Monday morning I'm going to my bank and fill out the form for my $80 back for the lugnuts. I've called for 3 weeks with no answer. Therefore, I don't care if it's $.08 or $80, I'm not gonna sit around and wait for a mickey fickey to feel like he thinks it's the right time to make it right. Or wait until he wants to make it right. If you know you got people money or have done them a wrong business deal, you make it right ASAP. I know this Travis guy and Jon may be at odds, but that's not my problem.

Glad I caught this thread. I was about 1 day away from ordering up a set of VWW from Driverz. I'll steer clear of this mess and just deal with my bent wheel for now.

I paid by credit card in Jan this year so not sure what i can do,, Ill wait this week out and see what happens, then ill take it further.
And look what happens when you give someone the benefit of the doubt! They dick you with no regard to ethics. I know how you feel as I've recently had the same experience but in a slightly different way. I say forget about trying to work it out with NewGen/Driverz. They obviously have no regard for you or your order so why should you give them any? Call the CC company immediately and have the charges reversed.

Maybe this would be the best thing as it may put the final nail in the proverbial coffin and close down what seems to be an unscrupulous company. Also seems that Mr. Hensons company is working without any usable day to day capital. Not a good way of running a business.

I personally think this is a whole lot more common than folks want to admit. That's the reason this keeps happening on here again and again.

i agree that friends are friends and bus is bus, but in my experience the good guys are both friends and the guys i buy parts from. ive never had any bad experience and then said, "but id have a beer with him". if somebody is f-ing me over, id rather pound their face and shove the bottle up their arse instead.

im not a jon cheerleader like some others on here, but ive met him and cant see him doing this. maybe my character judging skills are way the heck off, but this doesnt make sense to me. get your money back that you have invested and all the other nay sayers need to just hold off and see what happens. i know hes focused on newgen, and newgen WILL NOT survive with this mess. give him some time to figure this mess out and he will come through. i hope im not proved wrong.

btw, mike @ muscle rodz, mark @ sc&c and tobin @ kore3 are some GREAT vendors for parts. but you guys already knew that

I had my 69 towed from Driverz last week (long story). Last I heard everything blew up on the deal and Jon sold everything @the shop and was filing BK. So anyone that is owed money/product from them I would put in a claim asap & cross your fingers.

I'm out another $650 for a new set of axles just to get my car back on the road after dealing with them for the last year on a bad suspension install they did. But at this point I'm just happy the car wasn't damaged or lost while at his shop!

Btw, Travis looked like a kid just out of high school so I wouldn't count on him solving anyones problem. I'd be talking to Jon!
