I didn't fall back at all...Since Feb 01, I considered it enjoyable to post here...in the past few months, I have changed my tune. Just because I don't feel like arguing over a stupid post count anymore, being told my console is hot because I left my heater controls on or getting freaky leghumping PMs from people I don't know doesn't make me a quitter, it means I just don't have enough fun/enlightenment to continue posting! Anyways, its not really something that's up for debate, I just thought I'd address it since I didn't make the customary "farewell, ask me to stay" post

This place is STILL the best Mustang board on the 'net, I just don't personally get enough out of it anymore to come here in my now actually BUSY schedule I'm sure I'll make an occasional appearance to squawk at some idiot (lilke I did in this thread) ala Belle style!

sounds like you gotta do what you gotta do.

P.S. if my leghumping bothered you, why didn't you tell me to stop? i was having a good ole' time!

i tried emailing you and no response. but you are busy so i understand. take care.
also i was wondering how Matts car is coming along. any mods yet?
i guess i will see you aroung the boards sometime.......

Checking in from the www.carsound.com forums.

I feel bad for the dealership. With all thats going on, I wouldn't be surprised if this put them out of business, or atleast restrict their income to the point where they had to lay a buch of people off. I mean they were the only SVT service department in the area. That means they were a rather large dealership. If revenus drop because of this, they'd have no choice but to start firing people not involved in this. Of course I feel bad for the owner of the car, but now because of one dumb@ss tech, the owner of this dealership could end up working at McDonalds for all we know. Yes, the guy was an idiot, but I feel just as bad for the innocent partys involved that this could get their lives screwed with as I do for the owner.

Also, with how big this has gotten, am I the only one who's seeing potential "Movie of the Week" written all over this?

PT Cruiser Owners Club, Australia is behind you 1000%

Forget about extending warranties and all that stuff, go for a lifetime service agreement - they screwed you around, they got caught out, they should pay. Get everything you can and good luck with it all.

hey i read it on a local alabama jeep site. anyway we (central alabama jeepers) are behind the cobra owner.

If you look at http://www.redmac.com/, the page for the Red McCombs company that owns 8 car dealers in the San Antonio TX area you will see that 7 out of 8 have individual web pages listed. The only one missing is Northside Ford.

However if you look at this same page from the google cache at: http://216.239.33.100/search?q=cache...hl=en&ie=UTF-8

You will see an explicit web listing for Northside Ford.

I guess taking away this link is McCombs’ idea of damage control.

(If you have problem with the google link, you can refind the old page with a google search on "redmac TX").

Just a voice from the "dark side" of the Corvette world... I'm 100 percent behind Todd and his wife here and I hope that the dealer can make things right for them. As enthusiasts, we work and save our pennies so we can finally buy our dream cars, and I don't relish the idea of a stranger taking that dream car out and flogging it.

Stangman96, I think you've got some growing up to do. I hope you come away from this experience a wiser person with some more respect for other people's property.

Shadowfax · 10-02-2002, 04:36 PM

Those of us at The CRX Resource have your story too. So does Fark BTW, which means this site is gonna keep getting a LOT of traffic.

Good luck dealing with the dealership. I wouldn't press for the lifetime service agreement because I don't think they'd ever go for that- - -I would want an all new drivetrain though - - after all it was THEIR tech that guaranteed it's gonna wear out before it should.

It's made it farther than that. I'm here from an off-road board (www.pirate4x4.com). I've also passed it along to another board I go to for Toyota Tacomas.

It's also up to over 364,000 views.

I read all about this on a Goldwing (motorcycle) website. WHat a groundswell. Good luck Todd and Tracy. From the sounds of it, we're all in your corner...

1hot5.0 · 10-02-2002, 07:21 PM

I am sorry to hear about the trouble that Todd and his wife are going through. I know how I would feel if someone did this to my car, no matter what make it is. I say you should get a lifetime warranty on the car.

Glad the dumb tech got fired. Eye for an eye. I do, as previosuly stated by others feel bad for the innocent people that work at the Ford dealer. Hope everything works out.

I don't feel bad for the dealership at all. Only piss poor management allows this sort of thing to happen. This means there was more than just the one bad apple that led up to this mess.
The most effective way for the dealer to gain ground IS TO FIRE a lot of people; clean the slate... and start rebuilding their reputation.

Dumbchops · 10-02-2002, 10:03 PM

This is post made it to the Pokemon : Trading Card Game boards.

The general concensus there?

The mechanic deserved it...not his car. But I guess it was his job, so...go him
