So I've been waiting for the correct cylinder head nuts and washers from Auto Atlanta and finally the delivery arrived. Having so little time to work on this project, I figured that I'd get back to it after work around 7 pm. I opened the package to find... the wrong washers and 12 out of 16 nuts wrong... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) $46.93 and they couldn't get it right. So now I guess I'll have to wait 'til tomorrow morning to try to get this right.

I just need to vent. Frustrated!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) |

It's a dying (dead?) business which is quickly circling the drain. In the modern era of the internet, most businesses like it are on their way out and good quality vendors like Tangerine Racing, 914Rubber, PMB Performance, Stoddard, GPR and Maddog (all vendors supported on this site) are reaping the benefits, as they should.

I really wish you were right, but I was first treated like shit by AA back in the '80s. I was done with them then, but it seems 914 guys have a self esteem problem. I mean, how can AA be around 20 years after the advent of the internet? Sometimes I look at AA's continued existence as proof that I really don't even have to try at S9, but then I pull my head out of my ass and continue to try to do the right thing with my customers. Automobile Atlanta is Enron, is Bank of America, is Amscot, is Bernie Madoff, is (every predatory business). It's a little like Donald Trump. Apparently, there is no amount of stupidity that will turn people away. Caveat emptor. Good luck. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I'm a proud AA black-lister. |

And now somehow you have a lock on what Stupidity is? These posts in the garage are supposed to be free of political content...bringing any politician into the discussion and using them as a basis to your argument is uncalled for and is against the rules of this garage form. Keep the politican crap out of the Garage Series 9 |

Keep the politican crap out of the Garage Series 9 Joe has every right and more, his allusions were benign, and once again you should really understand what the hell you're talking about BEFORE you start talking. |

Straight out of the rules page: "Please, let's not talk about Politics & Religion. Wars have been fought for years and years because of Politics and Religion, so let's keep 'em out of 914World." So Joe has the right and the rest of us don't? It doesn't say let's not talk about Politics & Religion unless your Joe. So I think your the one that doesn't understand . |

It was an allusion to make a point. [go look up "allusion"] Mentioning a name isn't "politics." And likening someone to Atilla the Hun or Scrooge McDuck isn't being "political," it just illuminates something being said, maybe good for a chuckle. So dude, if your skin is THAT thin maybe you need to give up rusty cars and go practice yoga or something. |
