Sometimes in life you are given an opportunity to make a friend and a friendship that comes unexpectedly. I had (hopefully still do) that with Adam Brennan, from years back when we both started as trend setting Paxton D-I-Y installations and we had to talk to each other in the beginning to figure out all the flakiness of the kit and try to get it to work.
Fast forward through the years, and you’ll see AB and me ragging each other on the forum, but in real life, he and I talked on the phone, he helped me get a lift for cheap, I helped answer technical questions about the vipers before he became an expert, and recently (if I can even call it recently), he gave me a set of wires to install on my 06 coupe because I answered a post of his where he asked if anyone wanted to try a set.
What I really feel bad about, is that I honestly did want to try a set, and certainly was interested in helping my friend get some good feedback from me after trying the wires. Well my mistake was, after I heard you had to take the intake off the car to install them, I thought I better not, and will wait until I hit the 30k mark or so before changing the spark plug wires. Or at least some other event that gave me time to take off the intake and do it correctly. Sadly, time passes, and AB who did nothing wrong but gave a friend a free set of wires, got irritated and understandably pissed that I never did it.
I even told him I would ship them back so someone else could have that opportunity, or pay him for them (his choice). He chose to have me send them back. Well, at this very time, is when I was actively flying around the country looking for my next career jump, and totally lost track of getting him those wires. I am now in California, but the wires are still in Chicago. So I feel I have let him down again, because I didn’t follow through with doing it.
So AB, if you could please accept my apology, I will try to get my girlfriend (who is still in Chicago) to not only send the wires back, but ALSO include a check for the cost of a new set of wires. Then you can send TWO sets out for new people to try and one is on you, and one is on me.
I really did want to install these AB, I just had ‘life’ happen in the interim. Hopefully, in the near future I can even place an order for a set and get them install. Matter of fact, Kurtis here in Cali is the local Free Viper ****** installer, and I might get his help with putting a set on.
You seriously have my apology. And I hope you can consider us friends again soon, but wont blame ya if you dont.
