wow... just wow.
First off, to Derek, this is Ozzo, don't know what happened, and its none of my business, but you will be missed, you were a cool cat. good luck to you in whatever you decide to pursue.
now, STiYLIN, i give you props for you were attempting to do with this thread, i appreciate having a place to tell Derek he will be missed. but it was very inappropriate to ask GST to explain why. like previously stated in this thread, it would have been best for you to ask via PM if you were interested in knowing, and let Derek or GST make the decision whether to tell you or not.
This is a public forum, and when reading your first post, it did seem as if you were putting GST on blast. which i now know was not your intention. People here love the entire crew there at GST, Derek included, and will defend it without mercy.
and unfortunately you are not entitled to any explanation. the only person here entitled to that explanation is Derek, and Derek only.

You guys can say and think what you want about me that is fine.
I honestly started this thread to show Derek there were quite a few greatful customers and forum users he helped along the way. He was feeling likethere wasn't. Sure a pm from me would have been nice, but not what I was trying to accomplish. The many thanks from all the people he helped which carries much more weight.
I think it is funny how it is turned around on me and now I am attacking GST where I get all my work done and respect and talk up to no end. I think Mike knows where I was coming from and if he had any questions he knows how to get a hold of me very quickly.
I am truly sorry this turned into what it did. The BAIC has a way with that and I admit I have been on the other end of the bandwagon so I guess karma is a ****
I wish everyone of you well. I mean that.

This ain't no t-shirt homie. You can't relate because you never had a $$ car and spent bank on mods and tunning. A lot of people did. There is a different relationship between your tunning shop and a clothing store. Again, I demanded nothing and just asked.

It really says something when you create a thread to thank someone, and a company is mentioned that is popular, and it goes straight to the dumpster.

I understand that now. Still kills me the whole bandwagon of the BAIC, but I should have known better. And I feel like a hypocrit as I was guilty in the past of doing it to.
