Title: My first Bitch and Moan
Post by: Jeff on August 01 2013, 11:27:15 PM
I know you guys have been through the tb.com mess for years. but its not until just recently w the nasty wendy situation that i realized how biased they are. The vendor protection drives me fucking nuts. I get you protect your investors but theres also a time when right is right. And it also drives me insane these so called vendors are just middle men. i cant look at the shipping labels any more. i understand ppl have to make a living but charging a mark up to place an order?! i really try to support vendors when i can. perfect example
     qa1 coilovers-directly from spohn its free shipping anything over 500. vendor tacks on a 30 shipping and handling fee! wtf.
 i know im going off course sorry. back to vendor protection... there is no surprise the vendor is not making right given track record. what person that operates a "legit and fair" ship would have that vendor continue to do business under the board. shit if that was another member it would be a shit storm and they would be banned for  life.  one would think it would be fair across the board but i guess the powers that be would rather protect the guilty and drive away the innocent. yes that board may have a lot of "traffic" but they are all dikbags.


 its good to be in a place where you can be an asshole and get treated like one! i really hope weaver does right  by wendy but it may not hAPPEN it will get washed with all the other "rave" reviews his company has.\


And i was pissed that my comments were delted but i checked over it again and saw alot of others were too. thanks for being fair chArlie

First thing you take note of is which vendors jumped up and said Brian had no responsibility .  Those are the ones that will do it to you if they get a chance.....

Jeff, I was trying to keep the BS that happens in a feedback thread from getting out of hand. I wasn't being mean or doing anything other than the same as a cop would do in a volatile situation by removing those that might incite to riot. It's a very delicate balance at times and I can't agree or disagree with you on what happened since I'm supposed to be neutral in situation like this. I'm sure those that know me know how I feel about the situation and I have voiced my opinion to Shane and Jay. I can't say what they believe since I'm not them, but I can tell you that Paul Castlebuno was a paying vendor at one time over at TB and he was kicked out and now banned several times for trying to sneak back on. While Brian is a paying vendor if he does the same as Paul his name will be in the same category. :O

there is at least 1 post and strong second that should get hit with the Deleted button and both are from the same vendor sorry meant to say person, same person.

I, or Shane, or Jay could delete the whole thread David, but it's better if it's resolved. If not Clay can bring it up from time to time just to aggravate Brian. It's in Brian's hands now as to whether he does the right thing or not. The last 2 pages we got a handle on and no more comments will be added unless Clay or Brian, or admin or mods make it. :icon_smile:

and on a positive note let's also take note of the vendors that are stepping up with parts donations and/or their time & effort  :)

Congratulation s on your first....    :P   :cool;
I would have rather donated to find out the whole truth,  but at least the little bit I did send will help get the car rolling quicker than mine.   :icon_eyes:
One thing I did learn from a quick google search on welding and grinding, is that the Fire Marshall really is an idiot.   :068:

Anytime Clay wants to bump it he can, and believe me, this has hurt Brain's sales. He hasn't quite grasped what this is going to do to him for the next few years. :O  A link has been posted orver at V8 Buick now so the word is spreading so I'm sure it will spread even further and kill more of Brain's sales. If it kills 50% of his sales he's the only one to blame at this point.

He's an incompetent business man, to say the least.

Charlie you are unreal thats the one and only positive thing that Steve said towards me and you want to take the credit as if he said that to you. You are not a nice Charlie.

After reading this stuff I would never give Brian an order again.
He needs to get this handled properly but it shows what kind of person he really is if it takes this much Bad Press to make him do the right thing!
Never should have got this far!!  :013:

He could be much more successful if he quit drinking, and hired a business partner that he treated with respect, and let them handle the "businessy" stuff - he should stick to welding in T-Top panels.


Oh.. wait.

The thread is closed until I or Brian has something to add.  I'm the last to respond between us last I checked so it is his turn to contribute.  I have no problem with it being handled that way.  I have a link in my sig for easy access for all who wish to read it.  Will Brian respond again?

This whole mess has been a really dark cloud to show up on the Turbo Buick community. Probably the reason I came running back over here to the lighter side of things.  I'm glad to see everybody is chipping in to get a bucket for Clay. I offered mine up but it needs a lot of body work. I told this story to non car people and they were going nuts especially with the whole idea of letting a customer work in the owners facility. The whole idea of law suits that could have been brought up. From a business prospective he could have easily lost his insurance coverage for his business. My wife had a intoxicated migrant worker saw his arm at the farm where she works the insurance co dropped them instantly. I'm glad that nobody got hurt during the fire car can be replaced. There is a line that you need to walk when you run a business once you step over to the other side of said line nothing ever will be the same. In my field I usually see them filling for chp11 Bankruptcy at the end of that line.

He is/was doing State Vehicle Inspections.  North Carolina checks a lot more than just brake lights. I would think it is a state requirement to be insured to do that.
Title: Re: My first Bitch and Moan
Post by: Steve Wood on August 03 2013, 02:28:29 PM
then he should be happy to give you his insurance info

You would think so, but he's horrible with money, and I doubt he had the due diligence to get (and KEEP) insurance.

Isn't extreme automatics with him in NC now? I hope this doesn't affect him too much...

Lonnie is working for him now as an employee I believe and I'm sure Lonnie will bail out in the next year. Brian is supposed to handling the business end of it. :O
Title: Re: My first Bitch and Moan
Post by: SuperSix on August 03 2013, 07:08:59 PM
Yep - that will work out well for Lonnie.

Brian talks a GREAT game.. but no follow through..

Have you any idea how hard it is to come up with a 'first' anymore???     Where does one even get a giraffe and/or a large scale model of the Death Star that's impervious to various oils?

Might be your way in....

I would call the NCDOT and say you were thinking about having emissions work done there but you'd like to make sure he's insured and has all the correct certifications .  I would imagine that info has to be pubicly accessible. Much like how fast food places have to have their inspection ratings in plain sight.
