3rd Annual CARS FOR CHARITY Event

Hi guys, I don't post a lot but I think a lot of you might be interested in this. A couple of my good friends are putting it on and it's NOT a ricer car show (or else I wouldn't be going... since I drive a Trans AM and a Camaro) All the proceeds from this event go to charity. Last year there were only about 15% domestics there so it would be GREAT to have a better showing this year... (of course import guys are welcome too, but my goal is to bring out the American muscle (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif) ) I don't know where most of you live, but there must be a few FL guys...

The dyno runs are a good deal and of course, that money goes to charity also. I will be putting my big block Camaro on the dyno so someone should out and come try to beat me in the V8 NA class. (Shouldn't be hard.) Hope to see some of you guys there!

The Charity?
Cancer Care Foundation of Brevard

"A diagnosis of cancer changes lives forever and in many ways. Not only are those diagnosed affected, but also those who care for them. The body experiences changes that impact the mind and spirit. Roles change in the family and workplace and one's place in the world may never be the same. Many times these changes lead to financial stresses at a time when all one's energy should be focused on healing and coping. It is the vision of the Foundation to ease the burdens and strengthen the mind/body/spirit during this time of change for both the cancer survivors and those who care for them."

Ground Control

Just a note to anyone who might consider buying from Ground Control. Don't. Not only do they not know what’s going on with their "inventory" but they also need some lessons in the customer service department.

Apparently pushing the "Hold" or "Mute" button on the phone is far beyond their grasp because when my father called to check on an order they were under the impression that he couldn't hear him and called him a "weasel." My dad was polite enough to let it slide but if it had been me the order would have been cancelled to say the least.

I'll admit in my Discount Auto Parts days I've called customers worse than that, but they deserved it and I was smart enough not to do it in front of them. (Plus I was a punk teenager working in some store, not a customer service rep.)

This is what I get for trying to support the "little guy," next time I'll pay twice as much and get it overnight from Jegs. (Actually it's probably cheaper from Jegs.) Or at the very least, from someone who take my $500 and not act like they have down syndrome when I have a legitimate question.
