Well, since it appears that Dan wants to continue making himself look innocent in all of this, and to date, I have only posted accurate info for the community to digest and nothing more (certainly not personal attacks and saying I'm the one being dishonest, i.e. attacking my character). I feel compelled to offer a rebuttal as it appears Dan is (no shock here) making this personal..... and if the members here can allow me to post without interrupting for a lil bit, I'd greatly appreciate it. I will have multiple posts in a row, so I can keep pictures properly associated with each post. I'll then advise when I'm done and the community can carry on as it sees fit.
It goes w/o saying that I've had some positive experiences with LMS over the years. The community also knows my character and my willingness to help, as well as my ongoing desire to post accurate info. Thus my avatar resembling Lt. Cmdr. Data of Star Trek fame.
I, unlike Livernois, have absolutely nothing to gain, nor lose from posting the following information. So taking what they say with a grain of salt is wisely advised. We all know the PR damage control spin machine went into hyperdrive the very moment the flat bed arrived at their facility to retrieve my car. It's to be completely expected.
That said, had this not happened to me personally, I'd have a hard time believing it myself. But I look back now, at all those posts from LMS detractors, as well as those that have had less than stellar experiences with them, and I pause. I Reflect. I then realize that all these years, how much money LMS has made off of my constant and unwavering enthusiastic support for them. Dare I say one of their absolute best supporters all throughout? Consistently promoting them online, in personal conversations, on my own paid for advertising material for both minor and major car show events, etc.
Well, when this recent motor debacle happened, things were said to me, by Dan that left my bottom jaw dropped, awash in bewilderment and I knew then whatever semblance of a friendship we developed, was just flushed down the toilet. Hoping to perhaps still maintain some semblance of a professional, business relationship was my only hope at that point. Well that was thrown out the window when the in depth report came back from the 3rd party, neutral machine shop that did the teardown. All trust was severed at that point and I knew I would never return to them as a customer.
It hurts. Still hurts. And the attempts being made to make themselves look unblemished in all of this, is, as Dan says infuriating and disheartening.
Moving along, I'm not going to quote each of Dan's previous posts, as you all can go back and re-read them for yourselves. But I will do my best to summarize his comments and then divulge from my perspective. You all are big boys and girls and are fully capable of making your own decisions on how to proceed with each of your own vehicles and what vendors you choose. That said, it has never been my intent to disparage LMS, but rather just post the info as experienced. No $h!t shows, remember? Once again, I do appreciate the adult conversation(s) from the members. Info only. You consume as you see fit.
