[QUOTE=bboypuertoroc]Friends,

 

this is a slap in the face no matter how you try to swing it.

 

Interesting read.

I got hooked on another one these "Dont go to XXX" or "Don't buy from XXX," and couldn't put it down. These posts certainly become long. I guess it's sort of like driving past an accident where everyone slows down to have a look.

One thing that seems common to these threads is the involvement of aftermarket ("non-stock") parts.

This one was a little different:
-- Three different Sponsors taking some light jabs at each other
-- The thread starter's (that would be George) account seems to be very accurate and holds-up quite well

 

I have been reading through this particular posting and what is really wrong with this story is this...........I am amazed at the total lack of support that many of the Z owners have shown toward the person whose vehicle was damaged with sympathy going toward the dealer who caused the damage. The fact that the "sue" word was used in the first post has nothing to do with the fact that this guy was jerked around for more than 3 months after the dealer gave their word they would correct the problem.

And the fact that the dealer has gone back on their word by trying to reduce the problem by repairing rather than replacing is the actual party who is doing the "spitting" on the hand after a handshake with the victim.

If the dealer was any kind of good business type of company they should see to it that this particular damage should have been rectified within a week or two and that is even stretching it. And I don't care if the dealer is well represented on a vehicular forum or not their action is unconsciable.

An lastly the fact that people on this forum have jumped all over the guy whose car was damaged is just as unconsciable and disgusting as well. This guy has every right to use the "s" word whether it be his initial post about the damage or not. And for these forum members to go on and hit him while he is down about getting his facts straight is nothing short of amazingly ignorant.

 

^^ After reading the thread, I felt just the opposite of what you are saying. I think the majority here are on George's side.

 

Sorry this is a little off-topic, but this whole thread has become off-topic....Spike100, your location shows "Frostbite Falls", is this perhaps Forest Falls, Cali?

 

My. my my Talk about getting off track. Talk about sponsor hostility. Talk about foolishness. It's all here. I agree - Close this thread, and let's get away from this drama.

Dont close this thread. This thread is my crack. I've been sitting back with my popcorn. I am even sending this script to Martin Scorsese. He couldnt even come up with this S#!t. LOL

Andy, I think you should work for Riverside Infiniti

Jen,

Frostbite Falls is actually the mythical home of Rocky the Flying Squirrel and Bullwinkle the Moose. Legend has it this is International Falls, Minnesota. I don't live there, but my location is frigid in the Winter.

Thank you for the info! My friend lives in Forest Falls and always calls it Frost bite Falls. Thanks for filling me in on his inside joke
OOPS...SORRY, THIS IS JEN AND I WAS USING JEFF'S LAP TOP!!

 

Actually, the thread was closed after George posted that it had been resolved by his agreement to buy the second wheel while PN buys the one and only one that they damaged. GEORGE reopened it to continue the drama.

 

you call this drama? I bet you would not call it that if it happened to your car....

 

this is what's wrong with America. Nobody gives a Sh*t. We screw up your car, not our fault. We blame the mfg, let's' blame the customer, let's blame the aliens. Where does it end. You screw up, take the blame, take reponsibility. This is not rocket surgery. Geez, go in for an oil change, later spend over $700 for somebody else's mistake.... done

 

I am also drawn back by the fact that the mods are supporting PN and bashing George, but I guess that is the money talking (sponsors)... I read through this entire thread in one sitting, as others have also done. It is a shame this the event even happened (curbing the rim) but it should have been rectified promptly and courteously, plain and simple.

Powder coating someones rims is a compromise, not a solution. 100% back to normal should have been PN's goals all along, not a half A$$ job.

I agree with many others on here that there seems to be a nation-wide problem with Nissan dealers and their customer service level (sub-par at best).

George, I'm sorry you had to go through all this crap, from the dealer and your fellow Z owners as well, who chose to ridicule you and poke fun at your mannerisms. I'm sorry, on behalf of those who still believe in customer service, loyalty, and good ol' fashion politeness.

Are you serious, Mr. Super Moderator? If so, you need to impose a ban on yourself. I think you are quite out of touch, except with defending one of the site's sponsors. Shame on you and your household.

 

Exactly! Things are going down hill quickly for My350Z and it's MODs. I'm loosing respect for them and Performance Nissan left and right... Keep it up guys, keep it up, and we will all be jumping over to 350zmotoring.com and WCN.

I suggest closing your motormouth and taking a reading comprehension course, IMMEDIATELY!

 

The last dozen or so posts demonstrate exactly why this thread should have been closed a LONG time ago. These threads tend to get way off topic, the bashing and negativity gets way out of hand. It has nothing to do with me, you, sponsors, etc. It should have stayed between George and PN, not everybody else but some people can't resist piling on, offering their worthless, baseless opinions and suggestions. Until you've been on both sides on the fence, you don't know what you are talking about relative to this thread.
