People, shops, dealers, vendors ect..need to realize that anything you say and do to anyone is subject for scrutiny at the expense of thier reputation. All these people on here with thier little segregate attitudes bashing the OP for posting information that could be helpful to a less informed person is retarded. If you dont like the idea of community, dont be on this site
Yeah, but we should be able to do it without running around calling each other douches or going way out of our way to drag a shop through the mud.

If I got that quote from Forged you bet your *** I would go somewhere else because I'm not paying that much, but I certainly don't think what they're asking is "unethical." Unreasonable relative to my expectations, yes, but unethical? No.

Enron went under because of their accounting practices (research auditor independence) among other reasons. what happened, you heard the word 'ethics' and 'business' and think 'OH ENRON GREAT EXAMPLE'

take a business law class and read the uniform commercial code.

Enron took advantage of the public who were unaware of the reasons for high energy costs (despite that they caused it by creating a shortage). Accounting malpractice was only to hide what they had done genius. I STRONGLY encourage you to work for some of my company's competitors ASAP. I will be happy to give you a reference.

I only buy on sale or at reasonable prices like any other informed human being. It is unethical to overcharge to make excessive profits M4A1. But then again, you bought a Ford so I can't seem to reason with someone who defies logic, LOL. Say hi to me when you drive by in your V8 next to the Grandma also driving your car. Yes you are faster, no your car is not cool. I have seen SMART cars with hayabusa engines which will handling destroy a 370Z on the road. Maybe you should look into that setup for pure speed buddy without any sense of respect for yourself.

I know where you and Forged can put those gumballs, PM me for thoughts.

You know that on this forum there is a fine line between freely stating your opinion and directing attacking someone... and you're flirting with it.
I'd highly reccomend pausing for a minute, and rethink your next few posts...

What's up with all the name calling? No one was calling you names, they were just disagreeing with your methods and/or point of view. No one is personally attacking you.

you should go start a business. charge your customers exactly what you pay your employees per our, sell things for exactly what you paid for them, and see how long you stay in business.


Yea and that grandma driving the 5.0 would be driving a faster car than you.

Let's not forget there quote wasn't set in stone. Everything is negotiable. That's another business strategy. Works both ways. I believe if this quote knocked off two hours there'd be no issue. Which could easily of been done.
