Drive it over here, I'll help you put it on. I get to drive it when we're done, though.

From a manufactures standpoint though, if you see a title like that it gives you butterfly's - the boss didn't know what to say, nor did the sales guys. As a the tech I had no info on any blown engines so we had to read through it to get the real meat of the story... that's all we are really worried about.

We understood what you implied from the first post - but didn't expect it A post like that puts the whole place on red alert - we were all asking each other if each other knew something the other didn't know (if that makes any sense) Especially since we are on top on our clients making sure everything is up to snuff.

I'm just gonna throw this out...but, when you have a sponsor on the site that contributes regularly like RIPPMODS does, why not just PM them the question and if they don't give you a satisfactory anwser or blow you off then post something up to the forums to get the ball rolling. JMHO

lol Well at least RIPP was able to understand what I was saying. I think quite a few people read the title and glanced over what I actually wrote and implied. Either way, I'm very glad RIPP chimed in. Perhaps I should have been more clear, focus less on the title, which was mainly to get people to take notice of the thread and focus more on the last sentence in the first post. lol I don't think I can win in this thread or make my point any more clear. Based on the 9 Page thread I've been updating for about a month with nearly 4000 views I assumed it might have been clear I was in fact rather fond of RIPP, their product and their customer service. lol My bad, let me sum it up:

Me like RIPP. RIPP good. Try talk customer out of RIPP by putting down bad.

Sounds like a plan to me.

Dude you have a strange way of asking a question. Maybe I should make a thread titled" "Does SaharaBlackNo1 like stealing money from elderly people?"

Then claim I used the controversial title to "attract" people to the thread and state I heard the rumor from a friend of a friend who smokes around the corner. RIPP has been a good sponsor, has answered your silly thread titled question and keeping the thread title the same is just bad form.

Yes, a little mischievous I'd say. Change the thread title and move on.

The subconscious mind of many will take in what you're implying in your thread title. A tad unfair whether RIPP are sponsors or not.

Thanks for chiming in. Unfortunately I did not have the ability to change the thread title. If you were elderly and had money, I'd gladly take it from you though. Clearly your reading comprehension leaves about as much to be desired as my choice of wording, since I repeatedly stated that I own and fully endorse their product. Do you?

I read your previous posts about your experiences with the SC and know you are satisfied and happy with RIPP. However, couldn't you have waited a few hours to talk directly with Dan or RIPP before putting in a thread like that? Reading through the first post, you even state that you have 500 miles on it now and are "worried".

I am a potential customer and was concerned when I read the title and your first post. The only reason I haven't bought one already is the price.
