He is using our financial relationships with our Credit Card providers as his Business Insurance. He is betting that the Credit Card issuers will make us whole while he pockets the cash daring them to come after him. They usually don't bother to chase too hard and just take the loss.

I was one of the first to believe that this guy was a Douche. His arrogance and total lack of concern about his customers and their experience was incredible to me. After defending myself from his (now silent) nut hugging fanboys and other flying monkeys, I've been watching this total...
While I feel that the Archetype Racing owner is deserving of some bad karmic retribution, I am thinking that Doxing him by publishing his personal phone number (even if it is easily found via a Google search) isn't appropriate.
I'm about to write a First Year of Ownership Thread, but thought that this might be an interesting discussion. Spoiler Alert: I still dig my Bronco
The one feature that I didn't know I needed is the 360 and Back Up Camera.
I'd seen them in commercials and thought that it seemed pretty cool...

That first half is a standard canned response, and I wouldn't get too excited for any shipping information.
The second half... just wow. Still just getting around to shipping orders from LAST YEAR! Lovely business model and customer service. The lights may still be on, but is anyone really home?
There are lots of people in this thread pretending that they know something about basic business who have clearly never been exposed to the basics of business Finance nor Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Bottom line is that it is a business death spiral, and in some cases...
