Anyone with a CSX6000 on order?

[Al G]

Actually, since I didn't order through Stephen I'm not particularly interested in the plans for his cars, which I believe are not yet sold since he's advertising them on this forum. I'm more interested in hearing from other customers like me who have a specific car on order through any dealer.

Its funny that you should post - you know - you ordered a CSX 6000 thru AZ cobra dealership and know you want to know what others think?

i will tell you what I think - I think you should not hold your breath waiting for your AZ ordered and HST built CSX 6000 car - You seem to have NOT listened to anything I have posted before and you seem to enjoy seeking advice and then NOT taking it!

Your contract is with AZ cobra and you should enforce that contract and forget about the HST built car - The owner of AZ cobra should have immediatly placed an order for a HI-TEC built car when she knew your car was not going to be built on time - You got that, sport?? Hello?? Are you listening to me? Its almost December and had she done the right thing and ordered you another car in September you would have had your car by now.

Think!

You know, Fred, you would think that... but in Becker's defense, having to deal with the types of personalities that we have in this hobby, and the endless "window shopping" that people do with these cars, and the knack that a lot of folks have for asking for advice (and then ignoring it), plus the willingness to jump on and criticize people that are trying to make their living off this hobby (and not just doing it for fun), plus the unwillingness to get the ol' checkbook out of the pocket, well... I'm willing to cut Becker some slack. I know for certain that I could not make a living in this hobby; I just don't have the temperament.

Patrick,
I understand what you are saying fully; I too am in a business where we do over 300 quotes (sometimes 100 items long) a day and close 10 or 15 orders a day; I know that this is what we must do to make a living so I remain positive even with the PITA customers; I don't believe that posting in an impolite manner in a open forum is a smart way to gain new customers because all of the other people who are reading this forum and don't know the entire sequence of events will find it distasteful and may not want to deal with this person/company in the future.
Anyway, we all know how we manage our own businesses so I'll get off my soap box now...

Best Regards,

If you've ever been to 47th Street Photo in Manhattan, it's a very unique place -- always packed. On my very first visit (many, many years ago). I patiently waited in one of the customer lines to get up to the counter, and when I finally got up there I said "I've got a question" and was immediatly cut off with "If you've got a question, go somewhere else. When you're ready to buy, come back here. NEXT!" And that's exactly what I did.

New York!!!!! . . . . . I grew up out in the suburbs of New York out on long island. When I grew up, I worked in Mnahattan until I got out of NY all together. New York is a good place to be FROM. . . . . . AHAHAHA

I am sure you are really not interested in my HST-built cars that are in Las Vegas but I bet you my cars get finished before your car does.
