Well, let's see.  I ordered some parts from them and they forgot about it
until a week and a half later when I called, but then they Fedexed it.
They sent me a four-color newsletter with a lot of copy about the
new Porsche Boxter, which looks strikingly like the Porsche Boxster
everyone else has.  The ISV was one-third the cost of every other source,
and it works just fine.  The newsletter talks about how great the '95
Chardonnays are, and gives a pesto recipe.  They actually answer their
email, if not too quickly.

I dunno.  Maybe they're not really set up to handle mail order yet.  But
they did save me $100 on that ISV and they were competitive on the other
parts (small things, strut bearings and such).
