I've said it before and I'll say it again, these clowns are nothing but middlemen for VIS Racing making a buck or 2 off your hard earned money and using your money to float their ponzi scheme of an operation. Good to see them go up in flames on here after I drove them (no pun intended) out from the m350z forums.

Lawrence, if you can read this you do remember me right? Restructuring the business? Who are you trying to fool, you asshat, you ? LOL

There is no restructuring going on folks, they're all in it like an orgy in the dark and they recycle names and peoples roles just to provide an illusion to take your money. You want something go to VISRacing website and deal with them directly.

Anyway greetings to my G35Driver brethren!
I don't understand the purpose of the middleman when they are not actually making it easier or faster for you.

ROFL! When I was puttin them on blast on my350z that dude used to email me messages just like that begging me to give them a chance and not to tarnish their names on the forum. I guess this is the outcome when you give them a "chance"

There is no benefit for you as the buyer. They buy stuff from ViS at a "bulk rate".
Buying 10 bumpers will be cheaper for them than buying just 1 bumper. SO they will hold your money until they have enough orders to make a sufficient discount from ViS, thereby maximizing their own profit, while the cost of the bumper stays the same for you.

You might get a $50 max discount passed on to you by doing this, but you have increased your wait time substantially or you might get lucky if they have enough orders for their bulk rate and you might see your order shpped sooner. More often, you will have to wait alot longer. Also you are giving them the responsibility of playing with your money, the longer they hold your money the longer they will use it for other things. Which is obviously what happens all the time.

How do I know all this? I almost got suckered into the game back during their Auto Infantry days, but I was smart enough to initiate chargebacks with paypal thru my creditcard company within 30 days.

You increase your risk (loss of money) tremendously for an insignificant discount they pass on to you. It's simply not worth it, when you pay for something you want it at a reasonable time, and I've been trying to preach this about fly-by-night vendors like these clowns all the time on my350z before my multiple bans there removed all my posts (lol).

I've always been ready to escalate the issue to paypal if I had something take over 30 days. Isnt the limit 40 days?

Anyway, sooooo yeah have you guys heard the saying, "A leopard never changes it's spots."

Just throw that out there before you decided to let the next iteration of the Lawrence/Dustin soap opera back on here as a vendor.

lol at dustins new member thread saying for things they dont stock (which is basically every part) it will take 4-6 weeks or 4-6 months lmao. holy ****.

i got the impression that lawrence is the master mind of strafe and dustin was always the puppet/sidekick and made to believe he is now running the show when inactuality lawrence is still pulling the strings quietly.
