Really? You don't even know the businees world.

Get the order, figure out how to do it later.

You want it when?

I've worked for several firms. Many of them top Forune 100

They all lie.

And robbing Peter to Paul is a standard business practice.

You can see the effects of it in the economy when the money supply fell short.

Haha, your a funny guy Razz. My friend works in white collar crimes at the DA's office. He loves people with your line of thinking. Bad business always leads to failure. It doesn't matter what the business is. But what do I know about business, I have only run a group medical practice for the third largest provider in Texas for the past 9 years.

Exactly! Honesty goes a long way especially when you are shelling out thousands of dollars on a product. If you as a vendor say "I can do what you ask for "X" amount of money in "X" amount of time", fulfill your obligation. If speed bumps arise (not everything goes as planned, this is a given), communicate with the buyer and explain how you are going to get to the desired outcome (i.e. need more money/ more time because of "put reason here").

This isn't freakin rocket surgery!

Anyone siding with Mazsport wake the "F" up!

I just point out the real world.

It's true most firms follow this policy.

People are afraid to stand up for what's right. Look at Joe Wilson.

You call a kettle black and look at what happens. They try to remove him from office and ruin his life.

If it was a coporation... he would already be in the poor house.

Yes, lets blindly go where no man has gone before!

Of course its not acceptable.

The problem is the youger generation is accepting this behavior.

Just look at all the corruption that caused the economy to collaspe.

EXACTLY. My father always told me, "It's easier to make a bad decision that it is to make the right one".

These days everyone wants to make a quick buck. There is very little work ethic. I get kids straight out of school who ask for a raise 6 months after they are hired. I treat my employees very well but you must prove yourself first and that takes time. And an honest employee will always gain favor with me as that is a hard trait to find these days.

WOW! I haven't been on since I sold my 8 2 yrs ago.

I knew Scott. Nice guy...seemed to know what he was talking about.

I never did business with him as I was a loyal customer of Maztech in Tampa. had a 3 rd gen 7 for 8 years then an 04 8 for two.

I believe Scott used to work for Jeff at Maztech before he started his own garage.

So, if you're in the Tampa bay area and nned some work.......call Maztech.

You were attempting to use the basis that many large companies engage in deceptive practices as a means of justifying this kind of behavior. Saying "well most business already do this" is like saying "well the US already has socialized medicine so why not just make it all socialized."

The issue is whether or not these kinds of practices should be acceptable and not whether or not a majority engages in them.

If anyone ever wants to know the real story behind any company one need to only examine the motivations of those who make up that company.

Honestly I am torn with them because there are some products I like but the rumors that Scott is there has led me to purchase elsewhere. But I do like their prices and the website. Some sites are bitch to search through and I am kind of an impulse buyer (which is very bad when you are into Cars, Computers, and Home Theater) So I like to search by vehicle to see what is available.

My feeling exactly. Also....why the name change from Fluid to Race Roots? Just a little more distance inserted perhaps?

Sorry you feel that way but again your loss on great products and great prices.

Hopefully that can change eventually.

You really should read all of the feedback we get about our prices and customer service. Not to say we are perfect but we strive for excellence. We sell the most out of anyone in the industry when it comes to RX-8 parts. Period.

Since our inception last fall we have processed over 1,000 orders, we have no one to thank but this community and our hard work and dedication. We plan on being here for thousands more.

We are the number one distributor among many large companies, but we only have the RX-8 community to thank for that.

Because I was not an official owner of Fluid Motorsports. So all the hard work someone else was getting credit for. I have partnered up with Dimitri a long time friend and has the same passion and work ethic I do.

Look for more great things from us.
