This will be my last formal post on the boards so bare with me I do tend to ramble:

I have been a member of this board as a vendor for Three years now. In that time many things have evolved for the 350/G35 and we have been there for them all. I have met many of you guys and girls and through happy and difficult times they have still been a great three years working for you.

My wife was diagnosed with cancer 14 months ago and it changed my life and how we live forever. The day I found out I shut my shop down and had to really focus on the import issues in life. Since I was pretty much a one man operation taking care of her meant that my IPDG companies had to suffer some. That meant a strong backlash from the public for not getting parts out on time BUT never failure to deliver.

The last year I felt like I had gotten the ship back into steady waters but my wifes condition took a turn for the worse again 4 months ago. I began looking for a replacement for me at the company so that last summers problems would not repeat themselves.

I have found such a replacement in Ryan Borderlon and Chris Cullum and they are now the proud owners of IPDG's 350zforums.org, EVO8.com, G35garage.com, 350zforums.com and many other sites that make up IPDG. They inherit my bodykit division, R&D parts and everything else that made us unique to the boards.

I chose these gentlemen because they are dedicated to one thing and one thing only: Your satisfaction on every order EVERYtime. They can work the long hours that is needed and they can field all the calls you make to us without delay. Where I couldnt be here they will, where they follow up better where I coud not and so on.

IF you have ever had a great experience with IPDG, its going to be better with these guys. IF you had a bad experience with them, show them the history and problem..they want to earn your business back AND they showed me how they'll make that worth while for you in terms of value for your dollar.

I depart the boards a little beaten down and a little upset by the actions of a few people that did some things on the personal front that will haunt me for a bit. Things said to me and my family that were unnecessary and very rude. I will remember the better times however and I look forward to seeing the evolution of this board as the years pass. I know many of you personally and to date have sent back and forth over 10,000 PM's on this board to over 1900 members!

In the end guys all you have is the love of your family when the day is done. I love my family dearly and I am doing only what is best for them. I think of many of you on this board the same exact way and my departure from the company I founded I think is the best thing. I am taking a job in the engineering field in August and with a little luck you'll all see my 350z on the boards and me chatting just as a member soon. I hope you all can forgive and forget, give the new guys a chance to shine like I know they will and most of all just be good to yourselves.

God Bless and take care,

David Stoner
former owner IPDG

 

KARMA!
Maybe next time you start a business you will think twice about stealing other peoples ideas.

 

obviously an immature response to something I was trying to be mature about. You even went as far as to make up a new name to insult me. Congrats!

To everyone else again read above and understand my position.... David

 

Good luck w/ everything! I have only made 1 purchase from you guys, but it was a good experience. I would deffinitely purchase from IPDG again.

 

well i have never purchase from you, but it seems that you have your head on straight and have prioratized your life in the correct manner, i wish you and your wife the best of luck in the future, my prayers are with you and your family.

Obviously you mistake me for someone else.

There was nothing immature at all in my response. You are a parasite. Making a living like a leach sucking up other people's intellectual properties.

I did not wish any ill will upon you or your family, however, I am certainly not suprised that misfortune has visited you either. Agree with me or not, I don't care, but I do have as much right as anyone else here to express my opinion.

 

I guess you have that right and with that I leave you and your opinion. If you are a believer in Karma then you understand the other principles of Buddhism as well so I will refrain from any more of a battle with you. I think differently and we'll leave it at that.

 

kimo, with only 2 posts, either you are a dumbass troll, or a puss by changing your sn, either way, you suck.

 

wish you good luck with your family. never ordered anything with ipdg but doesnt matter only material stuff. life is more important than material thing... even money. people will say stupid thing so let it through one ear and let it exit the other.

 

Good luck in the future, I hope everything works out with your wife. Try not to let jackasses like kimo get to you.

 

Kimo has a rudimentary understanding of karma. True, everything is cause and effect. Therefore, anything that happens in the world is a result of prior causes and becomes itself a cause of what follows. But, since it's all one interconnected whole (it all started with the big bang and followed physics precisely since then), and since whatever has happened at any time in any place had to happen just that way (or it would have happened differently--in other words, what happens is what has the "most going for it" mathematically speaking), there is no blame and no credit. That is, anything done or not done anywhere had to be just that way and was fully a result of prior causes and conditions--on into future infinity. Even knowing that, however, each of us is always doing the best we can do with what we know (which is very, very little). Hence, we each take responsibility for our words and actions. That too, is part of the inevitable whole.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Yea what he said!!!!!

 

At first, I thot Kimo was a bitter ex-customer. Now...he sounds more one of the vendors who feels like the copying of bodykit designs has hurt their buisness. Hmmm...I wonder which vendor it could be??

 

best of luck Dave! I've always had good experiences with my purchases from IPDG!

 

Only purchased once, was a good experience, sorry for your misfortune. Wish you the best in your personal struggle.

 

My prayers are with you and your wife.
God Bless.

Kimo... Anger Blinds... Ignorance is bliss...
You must be one extremely happy person that can't see straight.

 

Guys thank you so much again for the kind words, don't forget to give the new guys a try!!! Happy holidays David
