Default HDR lacks professoinalism

Remember when Rick tried to claim that House of Cobras was going out of business when they refused to sell his product? It was his unprofessionalism that soured the sales agreement between the two companies. His product wasn't too bad, but he got personally offended when some suggestions were made about minor changes to the product. He did agree to swap out the wooden dashboard for an aluminum one. But got angry when it was suggested that the control arm mounting bolts should be long enough to extend through the locknuts, not just halfway into them. An easy fix (same size bolt, 1/2" longer) but he acted like a cowboy who was insulted personally by the sugesstion. If you go to their website, you'll notice the most featured car is the silver one. House of Cobras had that car painted for him (and put up the money to do so, because Rick didn't have the money at the time)to make it saleable, it showed up at HOC in primer and needing lots of finish work. As soon as it was finished getting painted, Rick swows up with a trailer to take the car back. Wouldn't stop complaining about how poor he thought the paint was, thought it cost too much, and now uses that same car as his main sales advertisement. A very serious lack of professionalism.
I know you're reading this Rick, so is everyone else.
