RE: [DMCForum] DMC Wine..

[<rob@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Video Boob,

 

Damn, another ?typo?? This is at least the third time I?m aware of that you
badmouthed me in relation to our discussions last year and I haven?t been
following the forum for at least six months so perhaps there?s many more. I
think I?ll just set the record straight. When you called you said if I
remember correctly to give me prices for all the parts for a Delorean?s
front end as you had been in an accident. I mentioned that that would not be
a very productive use of my time but since you already had an estimate from
the adjuster you could forward it to me and I would try to work you a better
price based on the parts you actually needed. You refused that I idea (I
guess you thought I would somehow use it to take advantage of you) but after
several calls you finally gave me a list of what you wanted. I felt like I
was prying your teeth to get classified information!

With this information I gave you a few options on new and used parts but
your primary interest seemed to be in the rare hood w/flap that I had which
your car didn?t even come with but you just had to have the flap. I told
that you I had no desire to sell the hood, because I was saving it for my
Legend cars, but If you insisted I might consider it if you bought all the
parts from us. It is fairly SOP for venders to do this to keep people from
cherry picking their inventory. 

I also don?t normally sell a perfect L/H fender for $1500- but said if you
gave me your old one as a repairable core I would do it. I had no idea this
would offend you so. A week later you called me up and said you just came
back from Houston and had bought all the parts you needed there but you
still wanted my hood. I have no problem with you buying your parts from DMCH
but reminded you I wasn?t that interested in selling it and especially not
as the finishing touch to someone who gave the rest of the job to someone
else and came back for the one part no one else had. You seem to want
everyone and thing to bend your way and when it doesn?t happen you flame
them on the Forum and the DML.

I also remember offering to HELP you in dealing with the adjuster but you
wouldn?t even let me see the estimate. You go on to say ?I have nothing bad
to say about? me right after saying ?It must be nice to dictate the terms of
business to your customers? in a very derogatory way. Hello!!! ..Do you let
customers tell you how to run your business? Probably not. And what did you
say Robert (DMC Vegas) could do to your sister? How crass? I mean what
class!  Damn, another ?typo?, I?ve got to slow down. I do like your idea of
a ?meet Video Boob? booth in Chicago however you?ll draw a MUCH longer line
if you offer them a softball and three shots to try and knock some sense
into your head. I?d even stand in that line. Naawww?never happen.

 

Sincerely,

 

Rob Grady

I didn't figure my response would get much praise from you....Marc.
I have not seen Rob's shop, so I don't know what he's got going over there.

Yeah, maybe the DMCH big building is a little ego based, who knows, but they

are doing a good job of storing the parts and keeping them safe, keeping 
them categorized and ready for sale.
All I can tell you is that when I needed to buy the parts I needed, the east

coast was of no help to me. When I told Rob that I needed a left front 
fender, and I had found one for $1500 he told me that he would match the 
price, if I would send him my old fender. What?
When I wanted to buy a hood, he said he wouldn't sell me one unless I both 
sent him
my old hood but bought the fender from him and sent him my old one too.
Gee whiz, what a deal.
Then he refused to to help me with my insurance adjusters unless I bought 
ALL of my parts from him, "I don't want to piece these parts out, it's all 
or nothing" he said.
It must be nice to be able to dictate the terms of business to your 
customers.
Reminds me of another Delorean parts seller who thought they were "number 
one".

I am sure Rob does fantastic work, and I have nothing bad to say about him 
and I have bought lots of accessories from his website, but when I needed 
parts in the end it was DMCH that provided them. When I called Warren and 
told him I need a new hood, I found it on my porch the next morning and it 
cost me under $1000.00
Wine or no wine, my car is on the road and DMCH is responsible for it.

So, I am not going to stick my nose into all of their personal business, I 
don't give a shit about them selling wine or DMC salad dressing - who cares?
I don't.
It's not my job to police the doings of DMCH and I am not going to sit 
around and monitor the internet and waste my life on such bitter and 
pathetic endeavors.

If you really give a shit about DeLorean cars and "The Dream", "The Legend" 
and the overall public perception, then stop picking on everyone on the 
internet and just mind your own business and promote a positive vibe about 
the car and the people who surround it.
The lurkers of this list who are reading all this crap will get the wrong 
impression of the car, it's owners and the vendors who support it.

Repeat....
"Calm blue ocean, calm blue ocean, calm blue ocean"......
