Read about this story over in
http://fordmuscle.com/phpBB/viewtopi...7396&forum=1&4

It makes me happy to see that justice has and is being served. Tracy, keep up the pressure and don't stop until you make that Dealer squeal.

Some philosophical points for Stangman96 to ponder, and as a James Earl Jones said in Conan the Barbarian, "Contemplate this on the tree of woe, crucify him."

"Life is tough... It's even tougher when you are stupid."
"The stupid shall be punished"
"Better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

Oh, and Stangman96... In your new job, don't forget to ask, "And what kind of sauce would you like with those nuggets, sir?"

Steve

Default Wow...

Heard about this originally from Cheers and Gears Forums. I think the entire staff of CheersandGears.com, as well as Heritage Reborn (global cadillac owners/enthusiasts network) would like to affirm that we are truly appalled, and that as enthusiasts and members of the automotive industry we always work to provide the best for our clients, and work to reward those dealers that provide exceptional service. Even though I am a "GM Guy", I must say to you: don't take anything against Ford or its dealers as a whole. There are going to be crazy people in the world, and they'll do crazy things. This nutcase got what he wanted; he got the attention of hundreds of thousands of car fans, and at least a few dozen people like myself who work within the industry, and has lawyers crawling all over him by now. I'm sure this will serve as a lesson to all: dealers, owners, and technicians alike. But rest assured, that within the industry, we're trying to provide you the best...

(BTW: I was strongly cautioned about posting so publicly like this, but what the hell, I think I needed to get the word out that we're listening.)

Cheers,

Default It's on Moparts.com now

Hi all,


My mother just emailed me with a link to this thread. After reading a few pages, I decided to post it over on Moparts.com. I'm sure many of us will be shocked and surprised too. I'm not really a Mustang guy, but I hate to see anyone's car abused like that by anyone other than them. At least the idiot has been fired. I just wanted to weigh in with some support. By the way, Ford lover or not, I have to say that the '03 Cobra rocks! I've only seen one in person, and the guy was religious about keeping it clean and perfect. For what it's worth, my wife has a '97 V6 Mustang, and it runs great. Stock as the day it rolled off the showroom floor, reliable and dependable.

Default It's on LOTUSBBS.com

It's made it all the way to the UK on the Lotus bulliten board.

I caught a tech here in the UK giving my old Elise full throttle across the car park, the discussion with the dealership principle wasn't pleasant, for him.

This is from the Beretta community over at bstuff.com & the beretta.net message board. Me & my colleagues express concern on the matter at hand. This is an outrage to car owners everywhere & I've hoped we've all learned our lesson about gettin our car fixed. I too, have had to wait 6 and a half hours to have my car have it's oil changed & tires rotated. In that time, I dunno what happened, but I hope the worst didn't. I express my sympathy to the owner of the Cobra... Oh & by the way Stangman, you earn:

I read earlier that it was only a $35k car. I know for fact that the S80's are atleast $39k, and the executive edition is over $45k (another limited car). I've also driven the C70 convertible that's well over $48K. who cares though, they're both Ford products now.

I nominate him for the dumbest man of the year award!

Just dropping in from www.i-club.com (Subaru Owners Club). I think I speak for everyone there when I say that this is a horrible problem that happens everyday but goes un noticed until someone as stupid as this guy comes around.

I think I said starting price, didn't I? If not, I can correct myself now. The $35k comment was incorrect as I forgot it was a convertable. The coupe is $35k, the vert closer to $40k.

If you went by the Ford deal, what if the tech thrashes an Aston Martin Vanquish? Hehe. That's now under Ford as well, and is what, like $200k?

Doesn't really matter though, the tech thrashed the owners car, period.
