Stan *** Yep. Wolfe's number is right next to the White Knight Diner. Along with having great pickups, he has the best customer service in the country. If I ever get up that way I want to party with you Dude. Something that comes to mind "You can get anything you want at Wolfe Tone Pickups Shop". (Arlo Guthrie).

I just want to point out the failure in the White Knight business model. The customer spends more on shipping than on the actual product.

Well, I was close.

Fun thread.

If he did, and was lucky, maybe he'd get a Dick's Deluxe and fries!

I love a big greasy bag of Dick's!

I'd love to hear his side of the story as he pieced together what happened. Still, awesome response. Way to seize an opportunity!
