...I didn't think you'd understand about Bettendorf, don't worry about it. It's a "position" thing.

And no, I won't see you in the SQ lanes. You won't be there. There's a difference between a God complex and reality. The latter is where I am. I know I'll never have enough expertise to be equal to your audio toys shop but hey, I'm okay with that. My work speaks for itself. There's nothing like the feel of an exotic that you've done work on. But hey, it's no 300c. Those clients trust me with their babies...and will continue to do so because of the care, attention to detail, and expertise I bring.

When karma has an opportunity to come back to me on this subject, I'll do juuuuuust fine. I'm not worried about it. I've been around the block several times.

Again, I don't hate some of the people I've done work for (for the most part), thier decisions on the other hand, that's another story. We just disagree on whether thinking that when people do bad things they should be called out on it. I don't have a problem with it, I don't cower behind the idea of being soft spoken and demure to rake in a dollar. You pay for my advice (which you won't), you'll get my professional advice. You ask my opinion, oh I'll tell you, no worries on that.

As far as the alchoholic rep, he can't drive anymore for a while. We're actually storing his car at the shop to use for demos. Anything wrong with that picture? Nope. I've told him what I think of his drinking and driving. We've moved on. We order from Image Dynamics and will continue to do so. We sell a lot of ID's equipment and will continue to do so. That company makes great equipment, it's not them I have a perosnal issue with.

To keep with the topic (finally), you'll see a project vehicle over the next few months that totally flips what you think that I believe about bassheads...

I have pictures and video now but it's all the dissasembly and sounddamping (boring) stuff. It's a nice little shop car that we're using with Exile Audio to demo their product. Stand by for some pics over the next few months.

what?! you must not be reading the same thread i am. this is pure gold.

anyway since this thread has lost any hope of redemption, i'm gonna ask another question...

what's with cops in these unmarked police cars!? it's so annoying to be speeding down the road weaving in and out of traffic just to see some freakin malibu pull out onto the road with lights flashing. and yes i know it kinda doesn't matter i'm still in the wrong no matter who is pulling me over but still, it's annoying. and really if stupid ass people wouldn't drive side by side blocking all three lanes going 5 to 10 miles slower than the speed limit i wouldn't have to speed up and weave between them.

Yeah...It's partly my fault too.

I apologize for that. Just a big argument over semantics really...

I am only speculating on his behalf but I am certain the audio was not where he wanted it or he would not have messed with it. If your audio is set up where you want it do you mess with it???????????????????????? EXACTLY
audio rep = sales guy

90+ % of the sales people i've met don't know very much past what they have read in the propaganda that is given to them from the distributors & product companies.
