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.

you said:
I feel bad for the dealership. ...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. ...If revenus drop because of this, they'd have no choice but to start firing people not involved in this.

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

Yeehawl !!

Everyone's amazed that this thread has gotten into zillions of car forums across the globe, but his thread has made it into a swimming pool forum for cryin' out loud!

http://www.poolforum.com/dcforum/DCForumID4/571.html#32

Waiting for the story to show up in CNN, abcnews, foxnews, and thousands of local news channels across the US. Haven't seen that happen yet.

I did dial the dealership and they denied that it happened.

Hmmm ...

Found this on the slackjawed.net board.

Guess I'll take it to the f'd company.com forum.

stangman96 may even have trouble getting a job flipping burgers......

What a moron.

Avoid Northside Ford and Stangman like the plague - news has reached the UK and it keeps on running.

Found a link to this on Fark.com, I'll be linking it on my site too.

lambosv21 · 10-03-2002, 11:36 AM

sorry to hear about the stang...although i think this clearly establishes the fact that NS Ford will lose some business...i hope they do, they're kinda dick to customers. Thankfully i went across the street and bought from north park subaru instead

Geeze what Fags.

What's the word for "raging asswipe" in German?

So, how fast do you get your rusted VW Rabbit to go? People passing you on the entrance ramps?

Stangman? Is that you?

P.S. What's a 5 series Mercedes? (BTW, 7 series BMW's are not performance cars, shitforbrains. They are luxury cruisers. But, you might know that if you were actually German.)

silver_pilate · 10-03-2002, 02:12 PM

Funny, I'd like to see that barge of a 7-series run an '03 Cobra. Should be good for a couple of laughs. Oh yeah, and the Cobra will out handle the mug as well. Get a life you rich little German krout.

(not a slight to any other Germans we've viewing these boards)

Reguardless of cost, a service department should respect other's property. Not only is it other's property, but it's their CUSTOMER'S property for pete's sake!
