Yes, pushing yourself too thinly is a bad idea. However, PPExpress is a program that is linked to one of our suppliers. Parts are drop-shipped from this supplier, minimizing the amount of effort and handling of the parts. Other vendors are using this system, in this case, it's join up or be left behind.

Besides, we have developed a good repore' with our customers over the years, why send them to carparts.com (JCWhitney) when we can make the sale here.

When we integrate the system with our own shopping cart (in a month or two), then we'll really be able to give one-stop shopping, all in one place.

Tom and I made the call that this (because of the special arrangement with our supplier) effort would not significantly distract us from our core business. If anything, this took 1/100th the time that DriveWerks took. The plus with DriveWerks is that a lot of the products can be also displayed on the Porsche/BMW site.

We know our core audience is here. Why is it that I'm spending so much time writing this book? (10X more than it took to develop DriveWerks and PPExpress) Right now, this site is *the* place for 911s (trying to capture more post-1989 people), and we've made a commitment to you guys. Seen our catalog lately with all those nice pictures? The 1974-89 911 catalog got the first make-over. 1965-73 is coming soon.

Thanks for your support, and feedback!
