I love my rx8, and you can tell by the spooge stains on the dashboard. I just don't know what to do with the reverse. It's out of warranty according to Mazda. They never fixed it the first time.

It looks like you already had a pre-determined dislike for me. You're the one that's pissed off and you're the one that created the issue. I could care less what you think after your responses.
What agression? The only agression i've seen lately is your response from my dislike of Mazda's business practice.
I didn't brush you off at MCarthy Ranch. That was kind of awkward actually. That was on an S2000 meet on a Friday, just after seven stock. You came out of nowhere if you don't recall. You stopped your car on front of the parked s2000's and tried to sollicit business. What the hell is that? You were not looking for the best interest of others. You were like a 20 dollar *****. I'm not trying to be personal. That's how you rubbed off on everyone at that meet when you stopped to solicit. I actually got flamed by everyone because of that. I found the situation CREEPY! Seriously dude, you were CREEPY!
Honestly, I don't have a grudge against you. I'm just not happy with Mazda after I found out about Zack.

I guess nice guys do finish last, what a shame. Thanks for the good time. I guess well have this to talk about with our friends.
I bet you and me are going to become best friends because of this, thats the way it goes....lol
As you can see, sorry is just a word after all. A pity that you still do not want to make something positive from this.
And nothing was pre-determined, your looking to far into it. I'm still game to be cool with you....is that creepy too, after all this lovely forum chat.
I just want to smother you with love.
Ben

I already knew you owned an RX8 and an S2000 and I recognized your car when I was in the area. Sorry I didnt know it was a private meet. You're absolutely right. I tried to sollicit business by trying to be friendly and hook some people up. I must be a creep because everyone is so used to ********. So when they see someone acting nice and trying to help another person out, there must be some freaky reason for it. So your right, thanks for making me realize that I am so wierd for trying to spread some love. So whatever, sorry your friends made fun of you. So sorry I tried to let you know people are watching you because of your aggression on this forum. So sorry for trying multiple times to actually be someone who could help you out if ever you wanted parts for a discounted price or if you ever had a situation like the one your in. So sorry for trying to network. I have nothing against you, never had. I guess your just someone who has alot of built up tension, you should take care of that somewhere else.
I guess nice guys do finish last, what a shame. Thanks for the good time. I guess well have this to talk about with our friends.

I'm not calling you a creep, although your behaviour at McCarthy ranch was creepy. Put yourself in our shoes. We were discussing our plan for the Skaggs drive for Saturday, and you come charging in with your car parking in front of everyone and start soliciting. You did not try to start any conversation. When you realized nobody was interested in your solicitation, you took off. That was rude of you actually. Why didn't you stay to socialize? Is it because nobody was interested in discussing what you are trying to sell?
What can you possibly sell to a bunch of honda owners?
Can you get me the Vortech supercharger kit for the S2000 that makes 400hp at the wheel (we dynoed a S2000CR with the kit at Black Trax and it's CARB certified)? How about the Hondata Flash Pro( similar to Cobb Access Port)? Or how about the CT-Engineering Supercharger?

Best friends huh? On all of the posts so far only you have been personally attacking me. Even on this post you're calling me an *******.

Again, you have no idea why I did not stay. I was late for work. I work graveyard in Palo Alto. I live in Union City so I take 237 because I don't want to pay 4 bucks everyday to cross Dumbarton bridge. Also, I do not just sell only mazda related stuff. I have a wholesale license and connections with some very good distributors.
What can I sell to a bunch of Honda owners, come on amigo, honda parts. What else would I sell to them.
Just because I own a company that deals with mazdas does not mean that I can not sell anything else. The shop I deal with has been in business for 15+ years and specialize in collision and repair, automotive repair work, installation of what ever you want us to install and body work and paint. We do not dyno tune or do any tuning as of yet.
My offer for you, I can help you save **** loads of money dealing with us. You wanna know why. I have a day job, a good career job. This allows me to be very lenient with my personal business. I run my business to help people get what they want for a very good price. My personal business does not need to charge high rates and prices because the success of my business is not solely based on how much money I make. The success of my business is based on what I can do for other people. Maybe it may seem like I am a desperate 20 dollar ***** when I offer something to someone, but that’s because people have become numb and no longer recognize kindness in a person. The majority of people now a days are desensitized and need something very extreme to be impressed or interested. The very little simple things have been forgotten and are no longer valued anymore.
Your transmission, I can rebuild it. Parts are expensive, but I can cut you a fat brake on labor. Maybe you already have it being dealt with, I don't know. As far as Zacks engine, I would continue to search around or find an alternate why to get it fixed.
Also in my line of work and what I have experienced in life I learned one very very valuable lesson, that lesson was to try and understand why things happen and not to go off on a smoking gun.
There is always a valid reason for something; you just have to find out what that reason was.
About the items you want, if my wholesaler can get it then sure I can, why not.
My friend Dave at DNR has a dyno and can tune hondata in his sleep.
So you see, you really need to try and understand why someone might say something or act the way they might act. It may seem weird at first, but once you stop assuming why and start asking why, you will have a whole other why of looking at things.
Of course I enjoyed your insults, you got me and internet punked me. But in reality it really does not mean anything. What means something is can you back up what you can say.
When I say I can help people out and try to get them the best price, I mean it. I will not always have the best prices, but at least I won't rip anyone off.
You just need more experience in life. This is not an insult, so don't take is such.
Also, I see you warming up to me, I accept your apology.
Yeah I admit I came off wrong, I should have just pmd you instead. It would have been easier to tell you that way huh. The internet forums are changing and new rules are going to apply. I am a vendor of the RX7club and IB has already sent me what will and will not be tolerated. Ib has many car forums and they are catching hell from the manufacturers. They can not do anything about true and unfortunate events, but they will try to limit aggressive behavior. Debating and such, its all good. But we have to know when to control some of the verbage because it is being watched. I have already gotten in trouble in the past I do really do not want any more hassle from IB. So just know from the get go, I meant to just let you know to tone it down.
So you wanna go get that room with me so we can talk about business and how I’m going to satisfy your needs...lol

Common Laythor, maybe you can vouge for my weird kindness when I gave you that free OBX header for answering my question.
I'm just cool like that.
Rob, you will need to be protected from my kindness. It freaks people out. Like when people go door to door trying to get you to join their religion. I am a born again christian, but I don't go around trying to impose my beliefs onto other people.
It is up to that person to decide if they want to believe or not.

I don't need any more experience. Take your own advice and try to understand "why someone might say something or act the way they might act", because you have not known me long enough to tell me that I need more experience in life.
Anyway, the only positive thing that will come out of this is if I can trade this car in without much loss. It would be difficult because of the history I have with this car.

I zoom therefore I am.
1. zach's engine went boom, mazda told him to go **** himself
2. engine sounds like it's boned

Imma start working for the home depot pretty soon, it's monday to friday, pretty cool. I'll see if I can stop by. Hey if anyone needs anything, I think I get an employee discount. Probably not even enough to cover the taxes though. LOl

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Home Depot offers no discounts, but they do offer full benefits even if you are part time.
I'll be out there checking out the dyno.

Wtf? I should sue those bastards. They have it up on the employee section of their website. lol It's maybe for contracted discounts from other companies for home depot employees.
