    Guys.

    I havent had time to post, but yes.

    We are gone as of 10.31.2010. A slower market and the panther being a lame duck has made it hard to keep things open. In fact, the fleet side of things has been keeping me alive and the Marauder parts for years.

    Maddog. I apologize for you frustrations. When I spoke to you on the phone I told you we did not charge your card and we were shutting down. You insisted that I get your brakes for you. So I agreed.

    I have not taken a dime of your money from your credit card. My policy unlike other vendors is to not take money until I am able to ship parts.

    I did in fact order and pay for brake pads for your marauder after we spoke on the phone. I have yet to receive them from my wholesaler, as there is a supply issue currently.

    I see you have called me several times, but I am unable to answer the phone during the day, as I have another job. If you would like the pads when they come in, I will send them to you, free of charge as a goodwill gesture, or, if you would like some Wagner Severe Duty or Thermoquiet pads instead, I will send you those.

    Please send me a PM and we can discuss further.

    Unfortunately this is never the level of service I intended to provide, however, a few years ago when I had to stop doing this full time because I wasnt making enough money, I had to balance what I could. And I realize now, that I am unable to provide the level of service that other vendors who do this full time can provide. Its tough making a living supporting a niche market. I take full responsibility.

    Its been a good run folks.

    I don't understand........ if they are "locking" valve caps how can they be stolen?

    They are locking...they will certainly stop most "OHHH! I like those! I think I'll snag them while the owner is inside the mall!" a-holes,
    but anything is possible if they really want them and try hard enough....
