Troy you have definitely been patient and I am sure Brian appreciates that.
To those of you who think Brian still owes think of how much this has cost him and yet he is still shipping stuff overnight. I am pretty sure any profit on Troy's transmission has been used up and then some. There is nobody that feels worse about that than him. Now if this trans doesn't work than yes I would be pretty ticked off myself. I am pretty sure Brian can't rebuild them all but I put money on it ($3.00) that this one was built and checked by Brian himself before it left the shop. Remember everyone makes mistakes (think toolbox) and as long as they take care of it (buy a smaller toolbox) then things work themselves out.
Not trying to pat Brians back just don't want alot of bashing from the MN crew so everyone thinks we are A-holes....Because my friends that is not us.......

I have heard alot of good things about his tranny and service too. I know it's a very frustrating situation for both parties and you are right about it leaving his shop triple checked before leaving.

No apology needed at all. Not a big deal just wanted everyone to stay on track that's all. It was a general statement not meant for just one.
On a better note did you make it to the Twins Game the other day. I think I remember you saying you have been before as well. Do you have season tickets???? A bunch of my family is going in August to see them play Oakland (my brothers team). Stadiom looks awesome.....

Yeah, I went to the game on Tuesday. First one for me at Target Field. It is really nice, but would not have minded the dome on that night.
The company I work for has season tickets. Good seats. 14 rows up from field about even with the pitchers mound. We have a split season. 41 games.
How is your engine? Last I saw, was the turbo boot?

Evening everyone!! Hope everybody is having a good night!
Very well said Tom!! I could not be happier with the way Brian has handled this. Yes I am frustrated but I too sell new stuff that also breaks once in a while so I know how it goes. All I can do now is laugh and maybe have a cocktail or two or three!
Tom you are more valuable then you give yourself credit for! Not only for entertainment but you are the only one with AE and that right there is a big tool that alot of us dont have!!
Troy you have definitely been patient and I am sure Brian appreciates that.

Hey guys.
I am going to play devils advocate though Tom and say that I don't think anybody was bashing Brian at all. I think we were just expressing our thoughts on the subject which I am sure Brian would certainly understand. It is a frustrating situation but nobody said he wasn't handling it.
What is our plan tomorrow Dave. I work until 4:30 and I really, really, really need to mow my yard quick if possible. Maybe Lee could come over and do it for me with one of his many mowers...
