solicitation from D.C. Racing for A/C kit

I just got a post card in the mail today from D/C racing regarding an add on A/C condensor kit.

I really dont like this type of mailing and will not buy from them as a direct result. Maybe I am a jerk for feeling this way but I really don't care for someone seaching DMV records to find out who owns what. I just feel that my privacy is invaded.

They most likely didn't get it from DMV. Way too expensive. Probably purchased from a mailing list that targets Porsche enthusiasts. Did you ever have a Porsche magazine subscription? Did you ever register on a website for Porsche enthusiasts? Ordered parts on-line? Somehow, somewhere you provided your name/address/vehicle.

Buy the mags I want off the rack Excellence and 9 when it was around. no other then this site.

It does have me wondering though. I did have one order through vertex about 9 years ago. Thats right, one order was all it took to start looking elsewhere for parts.

Man, you are way too sensitive.

If you don't want the kit, throw the card in the trash. End of problem (for me, anyway.)

They are not buying from the DMV, as most DMV's its against the law to sell information like this.

If you feel this way over a post card advert then it will be a very long and difficult life until you learn to settle down a bit...

I understand where your coming from H2O911

I got a ticket about a month ago..and 1 week later...my wife..who didn't know about the ticket says..."you got a letter from this law firm regarding your ticket in Houston" DOH

after schmoozing the ticket thing over and requesting defensive driving (hour and a half in court..shoulda just mailed the dang thing in)

Just yesterday I got a DVD defensive driving course in the mail that I didn't request???
