^^^ that took me a minute to read.. or was i just being a ra-tard...

I Think he is talking about the comment about people bad mouthing me and still ordering from me. I wasn't referring to him there are plenty of others.

well when his business model is based on deceit, there is not much you can change to "just move on"

Seriously, it's just the same ol' hating vultures discounting all the good customers while circling around waiting for the rare road kill.

Still not fixed. I have talked to Brice a few times via email and even suggested that we go half and half on a paint job out here that way we didn't have to ship it and risk breaking it. His painter would not do that. I belive Brice when he said he went to bat for me, but his painter still believes that it is my fault. He has offered to repaint it if I send it back, but I can't be with out a bumper for that long and seeing as how every tiime its been shipped its been damaged i'm not really interested in that idea.

Guess I gotta start saving for a new paint job. Anyone wanna send me Christmas money for a new paint job?

Sucks dude, sorry to hear you got screwed but I can't say that I am surprised. But if you are ever in SA I can hook you up with a good paint guy. I will have an extra bumper available in a few days if you need it. It has a gash in it but is totally functional if you need to run it temporarily and I will just be trashing it anyway.

Shall we put our money where our mouths are and start a paint fund donation?

I'll start off by pitching in a $50 commitment ....

I'll pitch in a $50. Also Mike if you want to ship the bumper you could actually borrow my entire car for a bit. I have my truck and motorcycle to use in the mean time.

Team RX8 and monstermatt, thanks guys, I really appreciate your support. I'm not sure how I would even accept donations to the "fix my bumper fund". If anyone has a good suggestion let me know...

Matt, I might need you car when I do get this painted if that's okay with you, also you tool skills to help me take off the bumper (again). Let's meet up sometime and not talk about my bumper though... What you doin Sunday or Monday?

The lack of response to my prior post only proves that people are only fixated on bitching and complaining about their personal vendetta against Brice and could really care less about forum members like Mikey. Only a dumbass would think that the way to run a successful business is to give away the farm. If running a business is so easy let's see you try. Talk is cheap and all of you bastages are cheaper still :rofl:

I could give a shit less about Brice personally, I am sure he is a nice enough guy in person and probably means well but IMO, he hasn't learned from his mistakes. I only like to see this thread bumped so that potential buyers are at least aware of his business practices because I hate to see anyone get a raw deal. If they read this and decide to do business with him then that is their decision and hopefully the experience is a good one. If any other vendor was ripping people off I would be just as vocal. I could give a shit less who likes or dislikes my bitching and complaining.

I have helped out many of our local members with my time, garage space, tools, parts, etc. I am happy to be able to help out when I can, especially the younger guys with limited means. I have no interest in giving money to someone I don't know though.

And yes, running a business is tough, but it doesn't excuse poor business ethics. I have three offices and a staff of over 30 so I have had to kiss ass and make up for screw ups many, many times. But when I don't feel like making amends to an unhappy customer I always remind myself that one unhappy customer will cost you twenty new ones.

I have no personal vendetta against Brice. I never have nor ever will be a customer of Race Roots or Brice. What I am against is the willful deceit that Brice practices. And making yourself out to be this holier than thou internet tough guy is actually pretty amusing. I only stir this pot every so often if nothing else than to get a rise out of you, so thank you for proving yourself to be the official asshat of the rx8club.... wear it proud, you earned it.

"Putting your money where your mouth is" is the truth of life personified and exposes the responses of this thread with crystal clear clarity despite all the BS that runneth over your cup ...

Nothing can really be done by anyone other than the parties directly involved. All the rest of us can do is promote awareness and try and help the new guys to be aware of what can happen. If someone does inquire and research and still feels comfortable buying then that is on them. I recently read some things about a rotary engine rebuilder on another forum that definitley changed my opinion of him since I always heard great things about him. Threads like this do serve a purpose.

goodbye again getreddy2greddy

I just want to add my input, I have spend many multiple thousands on parts from Brice. In fact, just adding it up in my head startles me how much. This includes making sure I got genuine parts (and very expensive) from a manufacturer that is fraught with competing counterfiters, very quickly giving me a good deal on a used motor (a deal on which he gave me free freight and set up the ship) the parts of which I desperately needed for a build, and several other standard orders that I cant really recall right now. On every deal, I received stuff quickly and felt I was treated fairly.

I look forward to buying from Brice again.

Team, let's start a business :cuddle: ... I think you have gr8t marketing potential

:rofl:

I may need to start a business, not sure if my employment will last much longer :uhh:

Au contraire Monsieur Hypocrite. Seeing the asshat someone else wears is always easier than seeing your own. The difference is I admit and wear my asshat proudly for all to see while as you so aptly demonstrated in this statement of ironic truthfulness that the holier than thou attitude is solely your own ... :kiss:

really... it took you 86 days, 23 hours and 33 minutes to finally have a comeback... :boring:

^ :lol::rollingla:rollingla

I had some time to kill, otherwise based on your importance rating it may have been at least twice that long to GAS about your opinion

Rx8club members are all little girls. Bitch about everything, no wonder there is no new vendors on here. You guys need to mellow out, shit happens everyone is human no need to cry over a small order being late.

Thanks for the quick shipping Brice. I received everything I ordered with no hassle in a timely manner.

Your welcome, let me know if you ever need anything else.
