Stupid question. I have never emailed or purchased anything from Automobile Atlanta, ever. I noticed since the 914 World sight has been up and since Dr. 914 appeared, that I now get AA spam? Were our emails sold to vendors? Just asking since no matter how much I hit "mark as spam", I still get them.

you have PM
dr914@autoatlanta.com
One must always call us or request our catalog to get on our mailing list, because that is the only place we get e mails. We have over 45,000 of them! In your case, we have you on our file because you are listed as a SUPPLIER!!!!!!!!!!!!! and we have told many how perfect your product is as we had seen it personally in Hershey at the Parade!!!!
I am sorry that you so not like our monthly e mails, and of course if you request can eliminate you from our customer files. Again we only get our e mails from our customer list and no where else. We do not sell them we do not buy them we do not grab them from this club!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can't be serious...

No, your email address nor anyone's email was "sold" by any of the current 914world.com admin team.

I have never bought or sold anything or even spoken to AA either and I've been getting unsolicited email form them for over 2 years. I don't know where they got my email address either, but my first thought wasn't to accuse you of selling it to them.

Kripes...

I get the emails and I've never ever and will NEVER buy stuff from them. Never got a catalog, never bought anything, heck, their catalog was in a parts car I got and I through it out before I did anything else. No clue how I started getting stuff.

Where does any place get anyone's email address?

Any parts network, Porsche, Yahoo, Google, Ebay, that monster cookie provider, doubleclick, MSN, Flash, Adobe, etc. Even your ISP makes big bucks passing that info around just like that telephone number you have that is very unique.
Those are just a few places that put you in a big 914 bottle and when it get shook, that and thousands more with an email address become part of the email global business. Any place you visit online has tracking cookies that know all about who you click on to view parts and prices or whatever, etc.
Got cookies? Email address is easy for cookie monster.
You delete cookies but they are still there. I have removed Windows Explorer, another seller of info, more times than I can remember but booting back up, it's "Here's Explorer" .... again...

Don't want email spam, walk to where you do business and pay cash.

One of these days I will figure out how to charge the cookie monster $25 per item tagged using my name for all that junk they store on my computer and then they can send me all they want.

George Hussy- George Orwell (1984), could it be?

IMHO any supplier of 914 parts is a good supplier. Any old car owner that has

people like George, Racer Chris, Eric Shea, Engman and many others that

supply parts and services for my beloved 914 have my respect and Thanks.

When I got my teener in 1982 there were few people that you could get good

parts from, I was stuck with the dealer, Bummer. I too have had problems at

times with orders, but $hit happens and it wasn't everytime. Thanks Guys...
