That zero profit margin sale put him out of business. It takes money to pay for server space I guess. I always have to laugh when zero % profit = more than your competition.

Dude, chill. Have you ever heard of "reconstruction"? That means it's being changed to bigger and better. Does everything follow exactly to schedule? No, try building a house and see if it's done on time.

Why don't you use this thing they call email (harris@hartonmotorwerks.com) or pick up the thing they call a phone (1-888-633-1638). It's easy, everyone's doing it!

I seriously hope you're joking. You and I have gotten along by pounding on BRABUS SL, but accusing someone of going out of business is pretty serious.

Yes, I must apologize for the delay. I should have kept my old site running until the new one is ready (its just I have never anticipated that we have to change so many content). The old site has been broken into pieces, I'll try to see if I can put something back on for the time being. It looks like the new site will be available some time in March. For all enquires, please send me an e-mail or call our toll free number.

People I know have asked him for pricing info and his prices were MSRP plus an added profit margin. He is not honest in my opinion because no one goes around selling things for no profit.
People you know must have asked a ghost for quotes. I NEVER EVER give out quotes above MSRP. If you haven't met anyone who is stupid enough to run a business with no profit, now, you see one. If you have a problem with that or done like the idea, too bad. But don't you dare to bad mouth me.

I think you are the one who is sick of my posts for whatever reason. I lowered my presence on MBWorld because I have lots to take care of lately. Do you happen to know what my competitors are doing behind my back? If you dont know the whole story, I suggest you to shut the f*ck up.

I cannot make everyone happy in this world. But as far as I remember, I dont recall any incident that I was being "disrespectful" to you. I was looking at my PM Inbox and I found one of your PM to me dated April 28, 2004. This is taken directly from your PM: ".....But I have nothing but respect for you and your business and I dont want to slow your growth as a tuner.....If you have not noticed I only say good things about you on the boards and tell people to go to you for parts....." I really wonder what have I done in the 10 months following your comment??

Anyways Eric, I dont want to start anything between us. For whatever reason, you dont seem to like me. Let me make this clear: I am perfectly okay with it. As I dont see any reason that I have to like you either. Good luck with your life.

"Dude, chill. Have you ever heard of "reconstruction"? That means it's being changed to bigger and better. Does everything follow exactly to schedule?

i hope this message wasnt towards me man, all i asked was a simple and non offensive question..and if Harris isn't giving me crap about it, than neither should you. Reconstruction does not always mean bigger and better....and no, i've never built a house either. Also i have used and call your religious number 888-633-1638 number. You need to lay off the sugar or get laid...whatever works so your not so high strung man... *sigh* some people

Thanks for the update Harris, look forward to seeing the new site up soon.

Sorry to inform you skippy, but your post makes no sense at all. Therefore, I am unable to respond to you because your grammar, spelling, and punctuation is on par with a few very smart 7 year-olds. Next time you decide to tell me what to do, try these:

Harris,
Don't bother puting something back on for the time being. The old site was nothing special. And test well.
