Dan,

Costco has been moving into higher and higher quality products over time. We are very happy to have sold one of our 427 KMS/SC's with them. They are very nice people to work with.

Computerworks,

Haven't thought of a special emblem. Sounds like a good idea!

Ernie,

Costco is definitely moving up-scale with limited-offer products and fine art. I just think our fine art has 4 wheels!

As for who, where, why, etc...

I'm just happy it happened!

Murphy,

We are always looking for better ways to do things--engineering, manufacturing and marketing.

RaceDeck,

LOL

I think someone would be very hard pressed to knock this off in China. It takes highly skilled labor and a very large administrative commitment--not to mention the problem of actually getting product out that you have paid for. Wal-mart is one thing--they have the pull at a governmental level to make sure things get done and shipped. As a "little" guy, who is to say a slick salesman in China just won't take your money and run...let's just say...I have sad experience.
