Between buying a hull, owning it, and the whole replacement thing, (which is pending Phantom's being produced... ) and also being in another social circle (customer cars) as Steve, I can say that i've had quite a few discussions with him, and have a pretty good idea 'who' he is.
I can tell you that he isn't this evil dude sitting back going:
"I'm gonna take this mofo's money and never send him anything!!! HAHAHAHAHA!"
Thats just not him. While I agree (and I bet Steve would also agree,
privately) he sucks as meeting deadlines, and that there are people with legitimate complaints... I struggle to believe that he is intentionally screwing the parties involved. I.E. plans on
never sending your parts.
It doesn't make it better, it doesn't solve anything. But I think it needs to be said.
I hate that anyone is having to go through this. I think Christain and N D Red deserve more communication, and ultimately what they are owed/ promised.
Also, as mentioned before, and as we witnessed with Tyler... The X isn't the place to get your issues with Steve resolved. Hasn't really worked for anyone.
If your deal is concluded, and you have your part and it was a giant PITA, that is when you share your experience. Not while you're waiting on _____ . Thats just my $.02 after seeing so many of these threads.
