Message: [QUOTE="Jennifer@Dieselsite, post: 1483883, member: 7751"] I'm so sorry about this - I'm glad you're posting publicly too because even though it's probably a dealer that copied you, there's no shortage of customers willing to buy the cheaper and even encourage the copy. We know customers do it for our products and it absolutely takes all of my control to hold back on my temper when a customer [B][I]suggests I do it to someone else[/I][/B]. It's disgusting to hear and then I have to read the hypocrisy when I come to the forums or social media and there they are saying they love "company X and their products" and they'd never buy anywhere else. JERK - YOU JUST TOLD ME TO COPY THEIR PRODUCT ON THE PHONE AND YOU SAID IT WITH A @%$ING GIGGLE! Seriously though. I'll keep my integrity and just recommend you purchase the product directly through the original manufacturer. It's so gross. It's funny too that of all the shops, its you posting... It's crazy how many calls I take with people for the ball-bearing turbos who want to just assume you copied ours or just come right out and ask if we copied yours. Good lord, they don't even look the same (srsly dem covers tho!) and yours came out quite a bit before ours released I think. I highly doubt you've seen one of ours (OMG HAVE YOU?) and we've never seen one of yours and I guess the idea that two companies just happen to be working on the same idea in different ways is way too unbelievable for people. Frankly, I love that there are some companies still trying to be creative - seriously, the website is censoring me when I say inn0vative - with new products and ideas. River City releasing a high volume cast iron pump around the same time we were? AWESOME, I'll recommend it until ours is done! (Sorry to throw you in here RCD, just an example! No beef!) I remember when Corey told me about the TP38 BB when you were in BETA - ours was still in Alpha testing in our own fleet - and my instant thought of "Holy ****, I hope no one thinks we copied that" because we hadn't publicly announced anything yet, just dropped the original journal bearing builds with a lengthy out of stock message. O_O Glad you made the post because it's something every shop and customer needs to think about before purchasing yet I doubt it's given a second thought most of the time. (sorry for typos or ****ty grammar, I was typing fast and angry) [/QUOTE]
