Hey, I just found another post by Blackjack1:

WWW.GEARRACING.COM his name is ruben and his number is 727-458-8813 just tell him that patrick referd him
On behalf of Gear Racing and Reuben himself, I'd like to apologize for this unprofessional asshole. I already commented on his other post, and I'll leave the same comment here.
I know it would be going even MORE off topic to flame this guy about his post, but since I'm a friend of Reuben, I'm going to put in my $.02.
Blackjack...whoever you are, wherever you are...you have just hurt Reuben's business. Spell check is a simple thing. Use it. If you aren't able to use spell check, refer to the dictionary. Do you honestly think ANYONE in this thread (or forum, for that matter) will take you seriously if you spell "business" as "bizness"? It's all about being professional, man. If you want to help Reuben, do it the right way. Spell check and punctuation are just two steps in the direction of professionalism.
Luckily, I know Reuben, and I know he does good work. He's a DSM enthusiast who will work to help you achieve your goals while keeping your budget in mind. He owns Gear Racing, and they do everything from simple things (intake, exhaust, intercooler setups, etc.) to big things (motor swaps, rebuilding motors, cryotreating, etc.).
Right now Reuben's in California, so don't be suprised if the phone number you gave goes straight to voicemail. Don't worry, though...he'll be back soon.
In the meantime, Blackjack, I'm sure you want to bring Reuben and yourself some extra business by offering your services on TR, but I think with that post, you've actually driven potential customers away.
Now that I've seen this guy in 2 different threads, doing nothing but hurting Reuben's business, I will notify Reuben about this asshole ruining his reputation and the reputation of his company.
Another thing about being professional is not bashing the competition. My family owns Mediterranean Tile Designs. We are the exclusive distributors of "La Escandella" clay roof tile from Spain. Our tile is the best in the world, period. There is no roof tile in the world that can beat ours, be it in terms of clay purity, design, or even appearance. That doesn't mean we try to sell it by saying, "Oh, __
(insert other roof tile brand here)__ brand roof tiles suck because they break so easily!"
My point is: Show us how good you are, not how bad others are. That's one of the keys of maintaining a positive corporate image.
Again, guys, I'm sorry for this asshole. He will be taken care of.
