Does anyone have a problem with me?
This is an honest question. I obviously hang out at PP and sell parts, try to make stuff fast, efficient and work, but still "nothing is ever perfect". I care about my reputation and the buyer's happiness with whatever I've sold him, so...I wanted to ask if anyone honestly has a gripe, and if so, what is it? If you have had a good experience with me, I love to hear those stories too. Thanks, Scott

Not me Scott. But we have met. As far as I'm concerned, you are totally honest in your buying and selling. I find this amount of morality refreshing, considering your young age...you, freshman at one of the most leftist Universities in the USA. All that said, I've never bought from or sold you anything. All I can offer as advice is to try to offer your products honestly. 30 plus years of being a small town retailer here...Some customers I would welcome with open arms. Others? As soon as they'd walk in the door, I'd think: What the F**K grief does he want to deliver today? That's biz...unfortunately.

The only problem I have is not being able to pronounce your screen-name

Scott, I have a problem with you! You are too damm young to be driving a 911! Give it to us and we will find a good home for it!
Keep selling the parts, we need them! Seriously... do not worry about it. Later on in life you will laugh at most of this... Joe A

I have no problem with you, Scott. I enjoy reading what parts you have for sale, and you're always kind and thankful unlike some others in Classifieds. I only wish we could work out a deal for those heads I wanted to buy some time ago. Maybe we still can work something out for them at some future date...unless they're already gone.

Thanks for the kind words, guys. I had just gotten flamed and it kinda got to me.
Paul you're so right about business. Some guys are amazing to deal with and some just make me crazy. I'm registered as a Libertarian right now. So I'm well on my way to being a Republican... Berzerkeley actually has a lot of Repubs--more than you would think anyway! It's also become heavily Asian which generally seems to keep things quieter than a bunch of hippies. I am not actually driving my 911. Joe, you should go by and tell me how she's coming along! She's in Phoenix getting a facial (minor body work). Hopefully I get to drive it by Jan. Shuie's old 2.4T engine and my '70 tranny are sitting on the table waiting for it, all clean !! dd74-I always have a few sets of something around. Let me know what you want and if I don't have it I can dig it up without too much work. Randy, sorry about the goat man. I wear a size 13 and you know what they say about guys that wear big shoes... Take care guys, Scott

dd, when I get back to LA for a period of time next summer, we should work on our cars. I plan on putting 3.2 suspension and alu trailing arms on mine, with some 15x7s. Then a 3.2 oil cooler install and some crazy motor and short gears. And, it's gonna be BLUE! haha

A lot of GOP students in Berkeley? Thinking about it, that makes sense...the spirit of student revolt against the University's "establishment" continues.

I remain grip free, you do not seem to be a screaming liberal or a man that will not listen to reason. You not yet have complained about spitting, the use of profanity or handguns. From what I can tell the only draw back is that you do not post enough pics of girls with nipples...

I've only met you a couple times but you seemed like a right decent lad to me. You can't be everybodies hero so just be yourself.
