First off, there are a bunch of young kids on here that don’t know much about exotics. Most have only seen them in magazines and car shows, with the exception of a few. They can, however, tell you how to make a cheap car like a Honda pretty quick! I wouldn’t get too offended by what people say on here.
Secondly, you have begun to prove that you were willing to try and rectify the problem, the sign of a good business owner. Keep posting with results on the 540 auto and maybe people will change their minds. At least you were willing to make things right!
