You guys completely missed the boat on this one. My statement was directly aimed at the non factual, made up bullshit from both sides. PERSONAL ATTACKS ARE IRRELEVANT WHEN IT COMES TO SHOP COMPETITION. This thread is not the only one out there where competition among shops is in the open… and shouldn’t be read as such. I also referenced the “Peanut Gallery”… i.e - People with no first hand experience in anything, who make efforts to dramatize the entire situation. I’m not backing up anyone or anything or any shop. I’m simply stating that going by 3rd and 4th hand observations, and also personal attacks is silly. Get the fucking facts straight, ignore the assholes and bandwagon fagets, and find the shop that best suits your needs. There are also a couple important characters who haven’t commented in this thread. Actually a large handful. Chuck’s car has been brought up a couple times, Bill’s car (he remains neutral) and a couple more I won’t bring up. J&J has yet to speak… there is more than meets the eye here. I think J&J is smart enough to completely ignore the people in this thread with nothing to add, people with no business interest in J&J, people not on or concerned with WNYFBODY, and people who do not know anything about anyone who is connected with anything of relevance in this thread.
badazzss - Not necessarily the times put up at the track, but how the car runs, how clean the install is, how long the build took… and so on. Same with on the street. If so-and-so doesn’t make it out until the end of the season… why? Get the fucking word from the horse’s mouth… not a friend of a friend who read it on the internet. I was basically saying the street/strip instead of the internet where there are 10 people uninvolved waiting for their opportunity to jump in on the action.
So again… with further clarification now…
“As far as shop competition is concerned… flaming someone online with ridiculous accusations and also belittling someone with personal remarks is extremely unprofessional. Shop competition should happen at the track and on the street. Trash talk need not apply. Inexperienced customers, can, and usually are mislead by the trash talk and uneducated comments from the peanut gallery.”
I hope that statement makes more sense.
BTW - Mark and crew - I’m not saying I’m against what you said or that it is lies… but you guys, of all people, know that there are 2, and sometimes 3 sides to every story. I like to get all my ducks in a row before I shoot them.
