Alright, you two had best to put your E-penises away right now. This is simply getting out of hand here.

Meiogirl, I read over this forum and fix the problems as they arise. So I don't need you asking where I'm at. I have one mother and that is enough. You take care of your business and I will take care of the West section. Enough said there as well.

Bradd and Meiogirl, I am very sorry for both of your losses. I'm feel very sorry for ever last person who owned one of the RX-7's that were in that shop. I know that it doesn't really make it right, but I do hope that your insurance pays out enough for you to at least break even on all of your mods.

OK......... I was wrong, and I will admit it. I was wrong to let my emotions speak before I was thinking. I feel bad for ALL people involved with this debacle, because in the end, good people lost a lot and it doesn't have anything to do with the shop involved. So, once again I apologize for my flaming, and I hope EVERYONE gets what they deserve, meaning the cars get fixed. I DO have problems with SPD, but either way, good cars are gone. Best of luck to all the rexers that lost there ride. BTW I WILL run my mouth in person, ask anyone that knows me.

totally sucks for everyone that lost their cars. I hope it works out for you guys. I know I ended up losing a ton of money when Allstate wouldn't total my FD just because it was $2000 cheaper to fix it.

Again, I am sorry for your loss, as for the cue, I need to heal up, it might delay it, and yes, I run my mouth a ton, but it is all in fun,and I am far from a chickenshit. I am not trying to make enemies but I gotta back my hommies. I hope I didn't go to far, and if I did I am sorry.

I have NO sympathies for Seth ... and from seeing as how he does business, I wouldn't be surprised if he set the fire himself. Of course, me saying that is just pure conjecture, and predicated as such is not open to legal ramifications - because I'm sure they're reading.

For Fisa and anybody else who lost their cars in the fire, I have endless sympathies. This is a horrible thing to have happen to you, and I sure hope you all come out of it ok. It SHOULD be the shops insurance covering your losses 100%, but unfortunately that probably won't be the way it plays out. I'm really very sorry for you.

I don't think Seth posts on this forum anymore. His former company had a dispute with RX Tuner Magazine regarding billing for advertising. As the ownership of this actual forum and the magazine are related it is "difficult" for him to post on this forum without it getting deleted or the content changed... if you get my drift.

I know nothing of the details of the dispute between Seth and RX Tuner magazine.
I am a business owner and have had several businesses that I work with go out of business, declare Bankruptcy and ended up owing me money that I was never able to collect. This is just life in the business world and a true businessman has to accept the risk. To rejoice at someones suffering because they owe you a little bit of money from when they went bankrupt is pretty heartless in my opinion.

Look for this post to disappear.

John, I won't delete your post. You aren't doing anything wrong. And I am insulted that you think I would edit and/or delete anyone's posts just because they are shady or a bad businessman. I edit/delete posts that contain needless flaming or racist comments. I honestly do my best to stay neutral on debates that happen on this forum.

The issue I was referring to was not due to action by you or any other forum moderator. I apologize if I implied such.

Seth has obviously fed you what he wants you to believe, which is of course understandable. You accepting 100% somebody's one sided representation of happenings is less understandable.
