[V8] My problem

[quattro + 5 or 8 = fun]

wow, this is highly entertaining.  i have not had this much fun since i
watched my brothers duke it out 20 years ago!  i enjoy conversing with roger
from time to time but don't know him.  don't know dan but am sure he has his
good qualities.  but who cares?  i HAVE personally met keith tackett.
really like him.  but again who cares?  i have done business with various
quality business in my town and around the world for years.  then one day,
got bad service.  no idea why.  again, who cares?  but, i bet dan was
frustrated not being able to find the parts he needed.  when i read dan's
original post, my first thought was "unlucky guy, wish i had V8 parts to
sell him", then thought "it to be strange that bruce did not care".  but WHO
CARES WHAT I THINK???!!!  dan's story is not going to change the fact that i
do business with bruce.  let me put it like this:  regularly, i have people
tell me how CRAZY i am for driving older audis.  especially a v8.  they say
it must be expensive to maintain.  some even tell me the sold theirs because
it was so pricy.  maybe.  but mine has not been.  my experience has been
good.  it is my experience not theirs (and we all have different tolerance
levels).  i am not supporting roger or dan.  just the fact that a set of
personal experiences is just that.  personal.  until i experience "bad
bruce" for myself, I will use his services (yet, does anyone care at all??).
in the end, all this email flame throwing is HIGHLY entertaining, but i am
guessing a big waste of time for both roger, dan and LOL now apparently me.
:)  but i guess after 14 hours in the office today it is okay to waste my
time.  oh yeah, in the end, i ask the question again;  who really cares?
maybe some of you, but at this point, not me!?


p.s.  i encourage further use of this online community for flame throwing.
it is FREE entertainment (btw, since an email has no tone, i will state this
is a joke).  :)  OH, just as it is V8 flame throwing (not to far off from
the truth if your V8 has bose speakers pre-recall [another joke, but you got
that!]).  

have fun,


Shayne
