 First off I was just offering my input into the
original post. & believe me it was not an easy thing
to do by me throwing in my 02 
 cause I understand that Hap is a well respected
member of the S-car list. & he would have plenty of
people to vouge for his character.

  My "unfinished business" with Hap has nothing to do
the HRSBs! The long & short of it is I bought 4
Nokians off him at the end of July. He sent them out
Aug 1st. 3 of the 4 tires made it to me & one was MIA.
FedEx lost one not his fault but he needed to follow
up on filing a claim with FedEx for reimbursement of
the tire. Needless to say I'm still waiting & I had to
buy another tire to the tune of $150. 
 So since he Doesn't need my money" you would think
that if he had a lot of stuff going on at the time he
would just send me the $150 for the tire I had to buy
& follow up with FedEx when he had a chance!!! I mean
I'm a roofer (even in the snow) & I work VERY hard for
my money & with X-Mass & 2 small girls I didn't need
the extra expense!!

 Well I have some pretty harsh e-mails from him that
made me come to my conclusion. & like I said before I
didn't want to mention anything cause I didn't want to
make any enemy's on the list. I know a bunch of the
Conn Mafia even asked the advise of a few of them in
regards to this issue & just felt uneasy about saying
anything bad about Hap. So I guess you can take it as
it as. Again this is just my experience with him.
Thanks
