My experience is that the BBB is a total waste of time... But it is at least worth reporting.. especially since this guy had such an attitude and was a jerk when Rick saw all of his untouched stuff sitting there and just politely asked about it. I know Rick and there is no one that is more polite. The guy was just bullying a customer.

Jen has not given up on the car yet. We will keep working but without the car here we can only do so much.
Don't feel bad. During the Vegasfest. I got my car back from the shop, the day before the show and it still wasen't finished. After a year later my car still need to be re-done. I have found that shops are always willling to accept your car for work and blow smoke until your ready to pick-it up.
Anyway I hope you get part of it finished.

I know there have been a few people on here wondering about their registration... Rest assured, you have been registered... Thanks to Mr. Bill Gates, and his lovely computer software, all 12 of the webservers I run have had problems with them lately out of the blue... 2 of them are backboned to an ISP that has also been having problems with good old Front Page, so I have slowly been migrating them all away from Mr. Gates' lovely website software, aka Front Page... That is the reason no one got an email like it said you would be getting in the confirmation page...
Per the post on page 5 (or 6), those are the people that have currently been registered! If you have registered and don't see your name on that list, then please post here and let us know... Otherwise, if your name is on that list, then you are kewl! I have 4 other Fiero groups that use that pre-reg form for their events, and their pages don't include that schpeal, so they were okay...
I appologize to everyone for that confusion, and I promise it won't happen again <bending over and dropping pants, holding paddle & sunglasses in the air -- wait a minute - I can't do that - there's a woman present, and I don't want her laughing!>...
Again, if you haven't pre-reg'd, please take a couple minutes to do so, so we can start to have a final count on everything!
------------------ "Real American Heroes - Today we solute you, Mr. Ford Truck Towing A Fiero Guy. When most people don't even know what a Fiero is, let alone just where the motor is, you seem to somehow fit right in. You see the looks people give to that car with the PIAA light conversion, the 2" drop springs, big scoops on the hood, and the 19" tires that are bigger than the car itself, and get a kick out of their reactions. You get all warm and gooshy inside by knowing you help out children in need by putting smiles on their faces, whenever you drive by with that car on the trailer all lit up with neon. A car that isn't made anymore, is kept alive by being the prize posession of most of their owners who spend 5 times more than what they paid for them to gain a few more horsepower, and loose a couple seconds off their 1/4 mile, and spend many of nights sleeping "in the dog house" because of it. You help them save their paychecks on tow bills by being the "Fieros West & WCF Support Vehicle". So crack open a drink, Fiero Tower Guy, and know that the Fiero community appreciates your participation & support. If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't be able to show Corvettes and Porches just how Mean the "M" in 2M6 can get!

The Pre-reg page says that there are sub-classes in each category. Marie signed up in the 'custom notchback' class. I see a lot of folks whose reg just says Custom. I'm I reading it wrong about the sub-categories or will we just have to wait and see if these folks have notchies or fastbacks when they get there?
Also, if I've been reading right on the threads, Rick Whiteside will not be showing his car... And John Tinay is only bringing one now instead of two... Is that right?

Still holding out slim hope that the car can be there. I'm not quitting yet! I'll stay up all night doing what I can, and try to keep Rick's spirit up. Its not Friday yet!

We may be right there along with you, Rick. I went by the guy's place that is doing the custom interior and the dash, door panels, and headliner could all be seen through the window - UNTOUCHED! He's had the stuff over a month and I was supposed to pick it up today. I'm heading over to the body shop now to see the car. It is painted and baked and I am picking it up at 10AM in the morning... Is there a 'No Interior' class?

Not to worry, final adjustments of classifications will be done on site.

Those links are directly out of my browser! Give it another try, and there ya go! Hey - you can do me a favor! You will be the first one to try out the new look of the Pre-Reg form... When you get done, post back here and let me know what you think! I know 2 other groups liked it, especially with it being customized to everyones own events...

Does anyone have one or a pair of 1988 front spindles they can sell, loan or lease to me? If so and you can bring it/them to WestFest, please let me know.

- also, if Dan comes, he said he's bringin his ex. - and what about Mrs. Songman? :-D I wanna meet her. She's cool.

Huh, huh, huh, huh!?!?!?!? Remember... my woman is the type that is kinda weird when there's no other women around (been to WCF lately!?), but when there are other women around, well, you see how she gets whenever you come down for the BBQ... If there's no women around, she gets bored REALLY quickly!

Boy... As soon as we got married the "motherly instinct" kicked right on it didn't it! Well, here.. let me help...
(S)on, (D)aughter, or (B)oth...
B: Damnit mom, it was only a little weed! It wasn't like a pound... S: Mom, I wrecked the car driving on Crenshaw Blvd... I sware I got cut-off... The PD report lied.. I was only doing 90 not 100... D: Don't yell at me.. it's not my fault I'm pregnant at 13.. I told him to pull-out... S: Don't yell at me.. it's not my fault she's pregnant at 13... She said she was on the pill, and I pulled out... D: But why can't I wear my short skirt and low cut top to school? S: What do you mean you & dad won't buy me a car for my graduation? You promised... My skateboard isn't fast enough! D: What do you mean you & dad won't buy me double d's for my graduation? You promised... C cups aren't big enough! S: What do you mean I'm grounded? I thought you'd be okay with me taking your CC for adultsonline.com... At least I didn't spend it... D: What do you mean I'm grounded? It's not like the webcam is having sex in real life... Gawd... If that makes you mad, then don't even open the top drawer... B: What do you mean I'm grounded? I thought I would be nice and go out the window, instead of waking you up with the door... B: Why are you so mad? At least it's only cigs and not weed. Besides, the carton says everyone before 15 tries cigarettes...
I could think of a whole bunch more, but that'll start for now!

Ego's!?!?!?! What egos!?!?!? Men don't have egos... ** women ** are the ones that are always bragging about how many men pick them up... **women** are the ones that have to have the bigger tits... **women** are the ones that have to have the Yukon Dunali XL's that they try and drive like their Saturn SL... **women** are the ones that need vaginamony when they divorce... **women** are the ones that get all the attention during **** movies... **women** are the ones that get ALL the attention when they are making out with another woman...
