I love the cage in the car with the already mentioned monitors, but also the dynamat. You'd think that a race car would want less weight, not more. Todd must know the end is near. He probably had a stack of his logos laying around and is trying to get rid of them before he goes belly-up.

I don't think you've realized this yet, but there is no fixing this. Unless Todd can magically go back in time and give Christian his stuff, there is no way to make this right. No matter what happens, Christian STILL waited 600+ days for things he should have received 570+ days ago.

If he was given anything other than the "Its in the mail speech" I very seriously doubt it knowing others and myself ordeal trying to get my completed kit that still wasn't "bolt-on". Also I got tracking numbers but it was only for a few pieces here and there it took forever to get the entire kit. I hate to keep seeing the days change on you thread hopefully it will come to an end soon. It looks as though Todd seriously overextended himself trying to start a business when he had nothing invested other than peoples money from their orders.

Isn't that kind of a Ponzi scheme? Using customers' ("investors") money to pay off the earlier customers?

No, this is actually called "Robbing Peter to Pay Paul." Money is owed to customer #1, so money is either borrowed or stolen from customer #2 to pay back customer #1. Todd seems to be very deep in this cycle and he's getting lucky that some of his customers have been finishing their kits off themselves.

Apparently it's different, according to wiki lol. It's under "related schemes" in the Ponzi Scheme article. No clue what the difference is though.

How would he go about making it right? ITS BEEN ALMOST 2 YEARS. There is no making it right at this point. It doesn't matter whether he gets his stuff or not, he has still waited all this time, recieved BS after BS from Todd about where his stuff is. Todds rep is ruined here. I'm sure he knows his business is done as well.

Compulsive lying, Todd is very good at it, even though he sounds ridiculous most of the time. lol

I remember when this sparked an argument over a year ago and it led to a few people bashing us. We've seen ScionSpeed, ZPI, and now TT.

Dezod's still in the game . Sorry to hear of everyone's experiences though. I know what it's like to want to finish a project over a long period of time, when the only delay is the parts showing up.

I hope it all works out.
