[V8] My problem

Wed Feb 21 01:26:50 EST 2007

I'm about to be 26 so I don't know how that's classified as a "kid" but anyways, who care about your opinion.

I show respect to people that deserve it, not ones that attack me for no apparent reason, ok? I respect but at the same time don't take any unjust crap so I guess those two conflict. You have no idea how much I know about Audis or cars in general, or anything else for that matter.

I'm very glad for you that Bruce treated you well. I guess you have to be a long time customer/friend/or whatever else with this guy to receive good service. I dealt with him for the first time and what I received was the exact opposite of what I was expecting. And believe me it was the last time. You and everyone else can keep beating the same dead horse, it still doesn't change the FACT that my experience with Bruce was a negative one. You guys can attack me ALL you want, I won't lie to myself.

I don't now if you noticed but I haven't asked you or anyone else any questions, so hmmm I wonder why I would care how many people are going to hit the "RE" button. Only thing I asked for were a damn door sill and a stupid grab handle and it was already too much.

You're not going to sell me any parts? LOL that's pretty funny because last time I checked you and mostly everyone else that replied to my part request e-mail only made promises to look for these parts but they didn't come through. Or maybe you think when somebody needs a part (besides yourself of course, you expect to be served in a timely manner right?) they can wait around all they want. This could also explain why so many think they are receiving good service.

Get real!
