Riddle me this? You say Sod is a great guy & a friend. Yet you want to cut out the middleman & not support him.Plus he is now a supporting vendor. Why am I having a hard time understanding your logic. Help me out here!

why would i want to pay you to take my block (or have them pick it up) just so they can do the work and you take all the credit, crank the rod on that old brain of yours im not paying "U" the middle man to take the credit for the machine shop, sod and manny are very good friends of mine i see manny on a weekly basis (hes my snap on guy) and i bought a pita loud of parts from sod in the past and have been to his house and visited his personal and impressive car collection, i guess if i dont throw money at you i wont get any VENDOR SUPPORT right lou. i tried to avoid alot of the crap that people say about you but damn im starting to think that its all true

Married! you still haven't answered my question is Sod a middleman or a friend & why aren't you supporting him.As for me taking credit for someone elses work.I work closely with many others to make things possible.My machinist does work per my instructions & knows nothing about Buicks I like all the rest of the vendors pay dearly for R&D to make things happen so people like yourself have someone to go to. As far as vendor support I don't work for chiselers that claim friendship while picking my pockets. I'm way smarter than that.

I guess if some of us want to do our own work were getting into this OLD bitch's pockets......go figure. I used to send alot of people to you too Lou, how could you not be interested in getting money; isn't that your job??? So what if we want to cut the middleman? Don't we all??? So what if we dont want to make punk ass people like you rich; do we have to just because youre a vendor??? I remember you charged my buddy $700 to check an alky system and had that car running worse than when it came in..... Don't get me wrong, you've done marvelous work with Brent's car and many others, but I'm sure it was big $$$, and I'm sure the same work could've been done at a way lesser price.
All of the SoCal people need to read this thread and see what this old man
(LOU) is really out for; obviously not for the love of these cars and helping you go fast....but all about "picking your pockets". Lou's punk ass will charge you just to LOOK at your car!!!!!! Very True.....

Sod at HYE tech could have someone pick up your stuff $$$$
Pete will build your whole F*ng motor over the weekend.....
Nick Micale could set you up with a killer 4.1
Anderson WOULD get your 109 in the 9's.....
You have alot of options..... VadersV6 has a good machine shop; PM him

Mods and this website in General will always support vendors.....very biased in my opinion, but you know how it is on here..... |
