I was recently forwarded this message that you sent to another.
How more of this story unfolds.
You want to be deployed now? Seems funny when you just finished with this SUPER SHOW with Rice Killer and got all these bad responses about how unethical of a person you are. What about the money? You better think of something quick! I know! Let's hide!
"Stephen Michael Andrews
Eric, Thanks for the kind words. I will be joining you soon think. Things have gotten too bad with family and I need to be making enough money to support them. Not making enough off the shop as is. Should be signing my papers by the end of the week."

... It is called having a single parent family... That has been destroyed by cancer, mental illness and a motorcycle wreck in the span of 2 years. Risking my credit, and everything I have to make a shop work. It hasn't worked out. I have to find other options to make things work.

if you are TRULY concerned about money, what do you have that you can sell? That's interesting! What about that boosted 350z?! That's strange! Why didn't you think of that in the first place? Let you worry about "taking care of your single parent family" while you try to race on the track! Sounds like a plan to me! Don't BS any longer.
Give us PROOF about the OUTCOME with the expenses AND the donation money for the hospital.

Looking forward to a time trial, I should see a nice change on the longer courses at mineral wells as well.
I used this link to search local yards for the calipers and found some in Grand Praire for about 39 bucks each.

dude sbmatt, calm the eff down man. take it to PM, or start a seperate thread. if it's that personal to you, go deal with it elsewhere man.
i dont know the full story, but i'm not gonna bust some veins about it, and if i am, i would do it in PM form at this point. seriously, you may be right, but calm down. at least on this thread.

LOL. I tried taking it to private messaging AND phone calls. He simply will NOT answer. He has pulled the "pity" card numerous accounts and is only trying to redeem himself right now. I just want everyone to know specifically what happened since it's the big talk of the week on a lot of forums right now of what a manipulative lying person Stephen Michael Andrews is.

that's fine dude, i'm not arguing that you shouldnt do it, just start a seperate thread. i personally have never had any bad interactions with stephen, in fact he's provided me with lots of good info, but i dont know any facts in this situation,
just start a new thread if this is truly how strong you feel about it.

I agree with Ezpotato....If you have a problem then start a new thread about it.
I know Stephen also just from past meets & things....Haven't dealt with him on a business level so I have no say....but as a guy he has always been cool & fair to me.
It would be in your best interest to start a new " Rant thread "
Your Z looks good tho....almost as good as mine !

SBMatt350, you're most welcome to express your opinions and concerns, as you're rightfully entitled to do so. However, the claims and accusations you are making are that of a serious nature. Unless you have evidence to back up what you're posting, I would tone down on the accusatory language. Additionally, I suggest you create a separate thread that addresses your concerns elsewhere out of this thread so we don't clutter up this one. Keep in mind that our forum has a TOU to which all members are subject to adhere.
BTW, nice car.

Indeed.. you know Val?
for ***** brakes - you dont do so back negra....imagine if you DID do it...
And here's a better idea for your donation that you claim to be so important. Instead of shelling out the money for the cost of the venue, why not just donate that? On top of that, you could easily have emailed or got in contact with Teams from Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio to do a donation of $10 per person that could be either PayPal'ed or given to you in person. Then, at a cost of $129, go purchase a big check with the dollar amount on the check, plaster the check with Team logos, do a ceremony with a photoshoot, and donate the money to the hospital on behalf of RKC and Imported Performance.
Again, if the donation to the hospital were THAT important, do you realize how much support you could have gotten from other Teams that weren't there? DFW LX alone brought 96 cars to the lot. That's at least $960 upon roll in. I'm sure if you took the time to contact them about donations, they could have also easily gotten contact with their sister club SPACECITY LX to do an even larger donation. Hell, you would have gotten a larger support from our own Team.
But you didn't do that. Because the emphasis is placed on the show first with the donation of the net proceeds to the hospital second.
So essentially, because I'm from Houston and took the time to drive out there and support your cause, my trip out to Dallas cost me over $300. So I spent $300 to make a $10 donation. I'm not a business major or anything, but something about that figure just doesn't add up.
And for a more personal reason, I will make sure that I tell my friends who are part of other Teams here in Houston (Sunworks, Rogue Alliance, Opulance, Epic, Eminence, Baker Nissan, etc) to not support any of your future events should you decide to come to Houston. DO NOT expect a warm welcome from Houston.
