What if they went on line and ranted that you are too cheap and should not be in the pontiac hobby......get a life buddy and find something important to moan about..

It's time weed out the village idiots
First of all, jerk off - and yes, since you've insulted me I will stoop to your level, sparky - who are you calling an idiot??? Read my post, at no time did I say I got RIPPED OFF...I said their prices and shipping were high, and I won't do business with them anymore...

Second of all, I've got a life, obviously YOU don't, how did my post hit such a nerve???

Thirdly, I own 3 cars, they're all in great shape, so how does that make me too cheap to be in this hobby??? And no, I'm not rolling in money, but I am cost effective...

I was in a hurry to get out of my office on a Friday, leaving for vacation that night and was going to be gone for a week, my builder was at a standstill and needed paint. Paddock was the 3rd company I called, they wouldn't price match ($20, no big deal, I'm not that poor...) and the shipping was out of line. Plus it took almost a week to get the paint. Caveat Emptor...do you know what that means, Einstein??? Look it up, sparky. I fully take resonsibilty for MY actions. However, Pacific Performance shipped me a bigger & heavier box for the paltry sum of $6.50. Oh, am I too cheap to buy from Ken??? Was I being cheap when I asked him if it would be cheaper to drive to his shop and pick up my order? By the way, he told me no, it's a light box, shipping will be less than $10.00.

To all others who posted...thanks for the feedback. I didn't know PY and Kragen carried that correct color, if I had time I would've made a post regarding that issue and gone from there. You know how it is, you start seeing progress on a project and you tend to jump the gun. I've researched everything else for that 455 build, and have saved quite a few $$$ doing so. I was very surprised that OPG doesn't carry OEM Paints, and Classic had it on backorder. I honestly thought I could drive down and pick it up from either of those two.

As for you, O2Sparky, maybe you're French Canadian, and you surrender your money to the first vendor you contact, and expect others to do so as well. Why don't you go shovel some snow or something...and if you ARE French Canadian, go surrender to something...
