I think Walt (ObsidianE55) hooked up the deer. What a great touch. Can we get one of the deer pushing the Carrera GT?

I'm guessing I'm not the only one that has accomplished exactly ZERO at work today because of this saga. And got paid handsomely for it.

As far as I can tell, looks like one of their employees was doing some posing and he got nailed. You have proved the cars in the photo don't belong to him. He got "owned". But that employee did not bring Sevas into it at all.

How is Sevas a problem?

The worst "real" thing this poser did was use the computer at work to do his posing. Anyone here like the mods to run all your IP addresses and send them to your employers to indicate you were doing this during business hours.

If I were Sevas, I would put real pressure on the mods to keep my name out of it. I will reprimand my employee, but he also may be my best installer and I am going to make sure I keep my customers happy.

From what I can tell, our boy Spyro was a mole, speaking out about Sevas and trying to recommend them to people. When he didn't get the traction he wanted (because you animals kept reposting the article about the blown Sevas wheel), he went too far and pretended to have a gigantic house in NY state complete with a stable of exotics.

Dollars to donuts after that he'd attempt to say he ordered Sevas wheels for them all.

Whoops!! I think that last line is gonna get deleted!!!

And what the OP didn't know is that I just happened to have Karl Hueck's (CEO of Sevas) cell phone number on speed dial. I texted Karl asking him if he had such and employee and he responded that he did not. But a news article about the exploding wheels was produced in which the reporter called Sevas and Spyro Gyro answered the phone and told the reported that the owner, Karl, would have to call them back.

I texted Karl a few more times pointing him to the original thread. At one point, I noticed user "Sevas Wheels" viewing the thread. He never posted. Shortly after, the thread was gone.

Silence speaks volumes.

Ok guys I emailed the big guy at Internet Brands- I asked if I can edit out the personal info and then reopen the thread since its no different than "jangy's halfway house" at that point.

Wish me luck---
