An easy way to place the blame and let things disappear with no justification for the poor work done. Honestly, I like you guys dont want to keep hearing the stories but hey guess what its a necessity!!! why? because it lets us know who is a credible shop and who isnt!

I know of the Attorney the OP is using and they have a very solid case from what I have heard. The reputation for that attorney also is that they wont take the case unless it is a sealed deal kind of thing and they know they are going to win.

I told you guys earlier there are more stories and this isnt the last of them. Just be prepared for more of them to show up. All the comments of "if you do 100 car builds and 1 goes bad thats a 99% success rate and thats good!" is a load of CRAP and goes to show if they did this to one car then what about the others.... (in my mind I would go double check all the work performed on my car to make sure this type of work wasnt done to me).

This thread should not be locked and should be left open for actual discussion not a bunch of conjecture and fan boys one way or the other. Rather the discussion should be on the facts that are laid out before us!

So to you complainers go spend your money and get burned because it was to painful for you to read and be informed of the risks!

Have you noticed that you have picked up "sponsors" ie Spawn and Forged, and they turn out to be "shady" or "frauds". Two strikes... 3 strikes and your out!

I just noticed that since you rely so heavily on sponsors.

Couldnt agree any more.

guys, how bout thinking in the OP's shoes for once?
dont you think you'll be pissed off? i know some of you would have driven another 500 miles to get physical with the guy for all i know

Dont you think you would want to let people know about your experience with a vendor? Just because you might have had a good experience with them doesnt mean you get to bash on anyone that has something negative to say about them.

and regarding the timing of the post, why the F*ck would that matter?

semtex · 04-16-2010, 11:29 AM

Just kidding. (Wouldn't it suck if you typed all that and for some reason nobody could see it?) But yeah, that's a lot of info. There's so much detail in your posts(s) that it's like a legal brief. Heyyyyy . . . you sure your lawyer didn't write this?

W.O.W. 370Z · 04-16-2010, 11:37 AM

OP,

Does your lawyer know you posted this? I would never advise my own clients on posting this on a public forum with pending legal action.

Who is your attorney?

This is a real advertisement, which coincidentally, atleast in Florida, violates many rules on Professional Conduct.

Sorry if I sound harsh, but my point is, as others have also said, that the OP is out of his mind for posting this if it is currently in litigation. No "high-powered" lawyer would ever agree to a client doing this. Unless the lawyer is this guy:

White on white go re read your post. I took offence to the strike 3 your out ordeal. Also, I took a good size financial hit with the spawn aero ordeal and I am working with the owner not only to pay me back but to get everyone else on the board the parts they deserve. Many people rely on sponsors for financial help that isn't the case for me. I am just trying to save money and get a dream accomplished. Yes Chris has given me a deal that is insane!!! And I am proud to have Strasse Forged as sponsor as their quality and products are reserved for the ELITE! I am glad he is working with me on the project.

Seriously the money I put in this car could have been a really nice down payment on a really nice house!

It was meant as a joke...

I opened up the door for you to take a swipe at the shady businesses but instead you "hulk" on me.

Go figure.

That's the problem with forums. Hard to tell the intent behind your statements. I guess somethings are left better unsaid.

I have grown thick skin from my350z so I guess I carried it over here.

The joke/metaphor doesn't even make logical sense for his situation . That's why I thought it would be taken as a joke.
