I totally agree with Jake. He put in the money and the effort and he should get the rewards.This isn't a huge market, its not a toothbrush, a lot of time and energy was spent to get to where he is with no guarantee of it ever becoming a financial success. He's a smart businessman besides being overly skilled along with having the tenacity to keep going well before seeing any profit. If it wasn't for him many of the owners of these cars wouldn't even have them. I for one am just happy that someone like Jake exists, if Porsche would have done as good job with engineering as they did with marketing Jake could have just stuck with Volkswagons.

Agree with Jake also. If you are the godfather, you should have the right to go to the mattresses to protect your own. Otherwise any opportunistic rip off is going to stick his nose in the business and we (the consumer) end up getting the short end of the stick.

Let's be nice to Jake because there are some much more lucrative projects he could transfer his skills to.For example:

You guys are plastic mechanics so I don't expect you to understand the frustration people like me have.

Jake,

Thanks for the reply.
