Art, Art, Art...I remember when you had your car TT'd and I heard all the gory details back then. I heard them from a very close associate of the man himself though, so I won't repeat them since they aren't entirely first hand knowledge.
What I can suggest though is people search under your screen name of INSOMNIAC---both here and on the Alley. They'll learn two things---one, that I never liked you, and two, that you are a pretty unreasonable cat to deal with. I think there is more than one vendor who would not deal with you again.
I don't know Steve, but I've been in his shoes with the secondary, "fun" (yeah, right) business. And it's a shame because you can offer a completely unique and unbelievable product that no one else around offers at an amazing price and people will still expect you to drop everything to get it to them. My guess is Steve doesn't make much money on his parts and whatever money he makes he certainly doesn't need (I've seen pics of the stable). Ultimately the time he spends with Vipair probably COSTS him money because he could experience a higher return by investing the same time and energy into his primary business.
So all of you peanut gallery guys throwing rocks---way to go. Chase another manufacturer out of our market. Discourage more people from doing R&D. Brilliant. All the crybabies here should go on a vendor blacklist.
Steve, I wouldn't blame you one bit if you only sold through vendors like PartsRack from now on just to cut the frustration.
Unbelieveable.
