CSX700,
Let's get something straight, I don't kiss anyones butt and since I happen to own cars from TWO reputable manufacturers (TWO from each) who have always resolved every question or problem that I've encountered, I have just cause to question your motives. You state that you're a professional mechanic that managed to pay not the typical deposit required by most dealers, but the entire vehicle's cost....without question? A mild cerebral infarct or maybe too much time working on running vehicles with the garage door down?
Consider this: maybe it's not the car that has caused the disparity but rather the owners approach! Look, I wish you well with your car and hope that you get the enjoyment that you expected when you initiated the purchase but I know Bob Marsh, Gary Patterson, Kris Kinkaid, Gary Davis and several other Shelby employees that have gone well beyond the call of duty to make owners happy and to resolve problems. It's interesting that out of all the CSX owners, YOU never found resolution.
