wow, by the time I read this thread it had turned into a crap fest. As I say in all these threads, you guys need to get lives!!! Granted STiYLIN gets kinda pissy and says some rude **** at time, but that is the internet for you. All in all, you guys need to lay off. Nothing said in this thread deserves this.
Zoeb especially....come on man, its like you follow STiYLIN around looking for a fight. I was considering buying over $1000 worth of wheels and other stuff from you this weekend, but you attutide sucks so bad I will NEVER buy a damned thing from you....or advise any of my friends to do so.
Now to stay on topic. It sucks to see Derek go. He is very knowledgable in the subie world, and he is one of the main (if only) reasons I went to GST. I hope things work out for you man.
As a customer who has spend a nice chunk of change, I am also curious as to why he was let go. Why does asking this make me a "bad" person? It is true there may be more approiate ways to ask, but this is an internet message board. It is for communication, advertisement, and evaluation of possible vendors....just to name a few. Besides, all they have to do is not answer.

It's not surprising really. This is typical BAIC drama of the week. I too have played a part in it in the past so I can't act innocent. There is a mob mentality here and the same few always start it. Many have admitted to me and if you don't see it you are seriously in need of a reality check.
Point is, this was a thank you thread to Derek that got out of hand because Zoeb and company thought it was a good chance to make me look bad. Hey what else can gain you more popularity in the BAIC then talking smack about GST :rollseyes:.
I know a lot of people don't understand it so they will just resort to calling me names (which I guarantee that not one of you would do it to my face).
The fact is any modified Suby or Evo owner in Humboldt county went to Gruppe-S (to see Mike) and then followed him to GST). Some of us learned everything we know about imports from D and he guided us through modding our cars smartly so we don't mess the motor up the first week. He ALWAYS preached tunning and Mike to be the only one. We all listened.
So I don't know why it is so hard for some of you to believe we are left wondering WTF when Derek tells us he is done and moving across the country. It's kind of a shock. I don't know what happened. That is the typer of person Derek is. He just said he was let go.
So just like aboothman said so well (as I can't when I am upset I just type crap)
"As a customer who has spend a nice chunk of change, I am also curious as to why he was let go. Why does asking this make me a "bad" person?"
Well with talking with Mike who owns the company yesterday he felt the same way. He understands people are curious and is ok with that. He doesn't think I am calling him out by wanting to know what is going on. He said it is always a hard situation letting someone go and I sympathize. He is a stand up **** and I will continue to drop mad cash his way and make Greg fell very uncomfortable with my long gazes and sexual propositions.
So Mike, thank you for making me feel better about the whole situation, I really appreciate it. See you on the 29th with a "fist full of dollars" (good Eastwood flick I suggest you see
).
The thing that burns me here is I am a nice guy in person. I am sure anyone that has met me on the board and spent 5 minutes talking to me would say the same. I may smell a little like burning trees but you get used to that after the first 5 minutes or so. I talk a little freely when online like most of us do but I don't go call any of you out or put you down for expressing your thoughts and situations.

You opened your mouth, your bad. Funny thing was I met you once at the track day. I was parked right next to you. You know the one that offered his tape to protect your expensive headlights?
I will see you around Huck. Promise that.

What's funny is you should be worried about paying Mike for a downpipe and not worried about what my questions with the company were. Mind your own business and this never would have escalated.

If you really don't like it here quit making idle threats and actually leave. I'm sorry but your attitude kinda f'in sucks.
And now you threaten me with violence? Thanks for cementing my point. I could care less though. What, am I gonna meet you by the bike racks at the the next track day? Jesus christ... lay off the weed. Or smoke more of it. Whatever, just calm the **** down.

That's who the **** you are? Jesus christ... I tried to ignore this thread but all I kept reading was you threatening to leave, that i-club sucks, asking the mods to delete your account, threatening to leave again, attacking Zoeb, Dan Avon and Krinkov and well... that **** pisses me off.

You see me attacking Zoeb, Dan, and Krinkov and that pisses you off but I see it the other way, Zoeb came in this thread and called me out. This isn't the first time. He does this quite a bit. These guys might be your friends but they are not mine and they are not joking around with me.
I know you won't understand how I got upset when my thread thanking Derek turned into me attacking GST when it clearly wasn't and how it got moved to the dumpster.
I am sure if that happened to you that you would not be upset.
Sure I got mad and didn't handle it correctly, I admit that. I was pissed off until Krinkov explained why he moved it after the fact and I agreed with him.
Then you and Dan, and Zoeb, and a few others continue to dig at me. So I am just supposed to take the rape party on my bung just sitting there smiling?
I was raised across the bay, when people talk **** to you, well then you handle it. I don't know how you cats handle it in fog town but in the Rich we just don't take kindly to that type of mouth running. What pissed me off with you is I met you, and extended help and friendship to you and then you come on here talking trash to me not knowing the situation. You just jumped on your buddies bandwagon.
BTW in my PM I never threathened you, which was meant to keep the fight private and not contiune it out here, but you couldn't handle that. I would like to see the part where it said I was going to commit violence against you. I said I was going to show you what I was about, and I meant it. My point is Huck you know you wouldn't be talking this **** to my face, you would be minding your own business.

You could have made that post without personal insults (calling me chunky)
There was no need for that, I didn't personally insult you, I just made a post stating my opinion on your post. I did not attack you. I did not insult you.
Your personal insult is what started this whole thing.
