"Sorting out" Issues...

Yikes... Talk aboot thread drift.

I truly admire Mark IV for sticking to his principles on this one.
Weather legal or illegal, right or wrong, self-righteous or otherwise, I tip my hat to him for choosing to steer clear of what he may view as a "dishonest practice" for the sake of a few extra bucks.

The lawyers will disagree with me on this one, but: "Just because you can, does mean you should!".

Wasn't there a thread a while back about a guy in California trying to register a newly completed cobra he bought from out of state and was denied registration by the state because there was a perceived relationship between the dealer and installer even though they were seperate operations? I believe the registration was denied because the installer derived most of its income from this one dealer thus appearing to be an extension of the dealer, thus appearing to be a turnkey vehicle. Not sure how this was resolved.
Or I may be completely wrong.

I'm curious about this as well! That thread disappeared very quickly.

A. There's nothing wrong with making money. Dealers or installers. You, me or anyone.

B. There's nothing inherently dishonest about a dealer installing and engine and tranny in a component car he or she just sold. There are countless instances of installers being dishonest, just from threads on this forum alone.

It's only a "dishonest practice" if someone commits an illegal, immoral and/or unethical act.
