I stand corrected. On another note, I and maybe just maybe a few others would've driven the 4 hrs to see if my car was still there 7 months and 10 cellphones ago.
Now lets let Rick have some peace.

I always try and steer people towards using a local builder or known reliable crate engines from big name companies.
Avoids this whole mess.
I'm not trying to blame the victims here, but no way in hell i'm leaving any of my vehicles somewhere i can't just drive by and see at any time.

I complety agree with the going local. Everyone claims one is a "standup guy" but what are they basing that on? You can't judge ones character based on Internet forum tails of legendary feats and maybe a magazine article or two. You have to hangout w a guy, just ask Chris Hansen.
And yes I'm more comfortable being able to drive around the block to see how things are going. Especially with something like the auto performance aftermarket. Let's face it fellas our hobby is a commodity and a lot of performance shops come and go.
I agree. I just got back into the mustang game and signed up to a couple of forums due to wanting to talk mustang and get back into the community. I have to say that one single thread really turned me off to this place. I mean the posters in that thread posted well thought out, factual, mature posts while at the same time being completely bent over by the shop, and yet there were multiple people in that thread that for some crazy reason decided that they were the issue or somehow part of it.
Just completely baffling and it even continued in this thread to a much lesser extent so that's apparently how this place rolls. And I have no doubt that I'll be thrown in the mud for being a newbie and having this opinion but, whatever, at this point it sure doesn't matter to me anymore that's for sure. I just felt the need to say how ridiculous some of those posts were. Fire away.
There will be people you disagree with on every forum, but this place has kept my cars running for the 4 years I've been around and hopefully I've helped reciprocate with that help. It is an invaluable tool to have in your back pocket.
You'll be ok. You just have to figure out who the members of the good ole boys club are and never disagree w them.
Good ole boys club? I must hve missed the sign up period. I think it's more like have some common sense, don't be an A hole, and don't come here telling people how wrong they are after asking for advice, and you find that this site is a bunch of pretty good people who like to help out others.
And have a warped sense of humor- especially the mods.
