Why don't people want my money?

That was a rhetorical question.
In my never ending quest to get info on 82-84 firebirds I emailed davidt.com to see if I could pay them to take pictures of the 82-84 firebird cowl tags they have on their lot. I even offered to pay the shop rate. They said they couldn't do it, but I could stop by and take all the photos I want. But that is a13 hour drive for me. They where nice about it though.

I emailed Hawks the same question and got a reply the next day, with a photo of the cowl tag of the only car they had, no charge. That was awesome. I guess I have no point ofter then,


Thanks Bruce!

Re: Why don't people want my money?

My biggest gripe with automotive companies is their lack of pictures and capability of taking pictures. Sometimes I just want to see a close up, but can't because they don't have a camera, but do have a car gallery on their site (Just an ex, this does not refer to HTP).

Bruce is awesome, only problems I hear about him, he has already fixed.

Re: Why don't people want my money?

David T's have been really good with me and have been extremely helpful with anything I need. However, I live about 20KM away and just drive there. Very nice face to face. IMO the internet might be an issue for them as they have older staff and I'm not sure the e-mail is the best way to contact them. I highly recommend them for parts.
