Just got my Excellence magazine this month and they report on the values of 914's and the news is good - especially if you are an owner! I was surprised to see the values he puts on some of the cars - even the so-so ones (as he puts it). I know both the condition and location determine the ultimate value of the car, but thanks to boards like this the interest remains high, and the values even higher!

Damn- Looks like I FINALLY pissed someone off!

Mr. WRX,
I appreciate your reply..

Obviously if these people that say I build Grenades are worth a sack of salt then perhaps you'll post their names.. Even then unless they have experienced a failure first hand, they have no opinion of my engine. I have not had any engines fail, to my knowledge that were not brought to my attention. Of course we have things break, everyone does that is pushing the limits, but it does not happen often at all.

As far as pissed off customers, well they don't complain to me! It seems that things are not important enough to be brought up to me, but people run their mouths behind my back. The fact is that many of them are liars and have never bought anything from me.

I will use this opportunity to say that everyone in business pisses people off at some point, no one can please everyone. If anyone has a complaint please address it through the prer channels here and it will be addressed. I can't share experiences from pissed off customers if they don't choose to bring them to my attention!

I came back to this site because I got at least a dozen emails a week while I was gone from members that appreciated what I shared and what I do with the engines.

The fact is that I pissed in this guys corn flakes and now he is digging up whatever he can to use as ammunition against me. I don't build grenades at all and when something I build does break I do my best to work out the situation with the customer until they become disrecpectful or just plain mean, at which time they are on their own.

So... Since these people that were weighing in about me are so reputable I think they need to be identified along with a substantial explanation that lead them to their indirect conclusion that I build grenades...

I do ask that you let this die for just a few days till my dad gets out of the hospital- I have enough to worry about with him right now and would appreciate a break until the end of the week...
