Faux Carbon Fiber cover not for me...

I seriously think that a "War Zone" forum should be added to this site (like SVTP has). Any big controversy can just be done in that particular forum... any threads that go a-stray can be moved there by admin. There are tons of problems between guys over there, but most wouldn't know it because it is pretty much all contained to the War Zone.

What do y'all think?

We had that, It was called the Darkside.
 
... It's one of the events at MVV, didn't you hear? Everyone who participates gets a... 4 ft tall pink plush Dennis Reinhart custom bunny with MARAUDER embroidered on it! He's donating them!!!

I would like to get one of those bunnies. A group buy would be nice, but I want one regardless. Does anyone know the price? Shipping wouldn't be cheap, unless they could be sold/shipped without stuffing.
 
We had that, It was called the Darkside.


the Dark side was not that

the Darkside completely replaced mm.net, and was Logan's attempt to show certain people why his moderating was necessity.
Unfortunately the ones it was targeted for, didn't get it, and still don't.
Most of them by the way have moved to another place, and now laughingly refer to ,net as the dark side.

SVT forums marauder forum has some interesting posts, since people went there after the Darkside, and after ,net was sold.
Some very enlightening stuff is there to read, at least until someone deltes it.

So, a 'Rant' or similar forum might work here, I've it used successfully on other boards.
 
Yes, of course. And all at once! It's one of the events at MVV, didn't you hear? Everyone who participates gets a... 4 ft tall pink plush Dennis Reinhart custom bunny with MARAUDER embroidered on it! He's donating them!!!
Sorry, Dennis....I think I just created .demand for a new product for you..

.:lol:

Bunny lady has spoken up, there's at least one sold already....can you set up a group buy on these????:D Come to think of it a four foot tall rabbit would be a GREAT place to hid your nitrous tank......heh heh heh heh I can see it now.... lookit the old fart in the four door with the spoiler and the pink bunny! I know I can bur n him with my Vtec 1.2 liter! Then :burnout: and I am goooooooooone......
 
Serious note:
I refuse to take ANYONE seriously that delves into hateful rants, name-calling and other childish behaviour. If you calmly tell a coherent story with dates, times places, witnesses, or can show me the evidence and provide me with contact numbers to verify your story in person then I will take you seriously. Compose yourself and your sentences slowly and carefully and edit out all the emotional adjectives. Otherwise you are just wasting my time and showing your lack of self control and your azz in public.
 
I'm tellin ya... War Zone, Rant, whatever you want to call it... this site should have one. Personality conflicts have been tearing through this site for years. What could it hurt to try it out for a month or so?

Lay down some ground rules and "sticky" it on the top of the new category. Make it a members-only category and post a warning on it before allowing people in to view it. Make it the ONE place on the site that isn't 'family oriented'.

Utopia isn't possible, people... a place to get out your frustrations is necessary.
 
It appears Dennis is not bothered by any of this.
Good for you Dennis.

I Hope He sees it as many of us coming to his Defense as a business and businesman.
And not some one trying to KILL is BUSINESS and and his livelihood which he does trying to survive.
Slamming some ones business on the internet is wrong,way wrong!
In todays market any of us out there know how hard it is to make a buck.

I have read this thread through repeatedly since its demonic conception...I present to you my dealings with Dennis Reinhart for your flaming or support...

My car was in Dennis' shop at the same time yours was but unfortunately my experience with Reinhart has been the complete opposite. Well, I shouldn't say that, not completely.

When I first started putting some pep into the Crown Vic I ordered the basic bolt-ons from Dennis (the marauder airbox, steeda underdrives, t-stat/plugs, and xcal2) and later when I changed gears to 3.73 he emailed me a corrective tune the same day I called. Later got a proguard panel, no problems. My Vic was running 14.7 and I was happy as could be.

The idea came up to go a bit further and supercharge the car. After finding a great deal on a crate Marauder engine I contacted Dennis and he said he had done these conversions before and could set me up. We were going to have a complete transformation of the car and do a detailed writeup on the website here as a project. Everything was set, I was to drop the car off with him and rent a car until mine was done

Before dropping the car off several people tried to warn me about Dennis. Since I had excellent service from him previously I just took what they were saying as just bad blood. Little did I know then that what they were telling me and what I had read online on another site would come true during the next months. It was like watching an accident unfold in slow motion while holding a script to it in your hands.

At the end of things I got my car back and it was unfinished and was barely driveable. I won't go into all the faults but basically it wasn't tuned, there were clearance issues, electrical problems, and other things that ended up costing me out of my pocket close to $1500, and thats after paying him over $15,000 (prepaid) to do the job. I did contact Dennis but it was like talking to someone with amnesia, just utter frustration and anger, especially after he asked me to pay for a replacement oil line that was rubbing against the p/s pulley and was damaged and when doing some of the corrective work on the car I found some issues that make me believe some of the parts put on my car were previously used or not really replaced at all. I gave up on him after that and I do not recommend him as a vendor to anyone and will personally not do business with him again.

I don't have a vendetta against him, been rather quiet about the whole affair actually, call it embarrassment, call it denial. I just see all these posts about great service and such and that has not been my experience. I know he has alot of happy customers but unfortunately I am not one of them, truly I wish that I were.

It also would be great in the HOV lanes too.
 
"Friar Discount"

In a similar instance, not too long ago, A well known member, called out a well known and respected vendor.
The results were amazing, said vendor, offers a :flamer:discount and sells a sh*tload of product.

I have read this thread through repeatedly since its demonic conception...I present to you my dealings with Dennis Reinhart for your flaming or support...

RoadPig 1 developed serious transmission problems 4 months into her rebirth. DR was called, lengthy chat ensued with no screaming or threats from either side. " Get RoadPig to me any way you can so I can make this right", was his exact quote. With my bizarre and hectic schedule this didnt happen for approximately another 4 months...but DR and I kept in contact and we knew it would happen as soon as life for both of us settled down. RP1 did get to Orange Park and DR,Steve,Tigger and myself dissected the transmission. A new Level 2 tranny with only my original Stallion TQ where reinstalled. I got to drive the BlueBeast of the shop for my overnight in Jacksonville which was an honor in itself. Do you want to know what the ticket was on this ? Guess !
Give up ? ZERO...NADA...ZILCH...Sure, I spent money on a trailer,hotel and food...but hell, I would do that just to hang around there and be a spare set of hands...

Enough of my pontificating...this is an example of Dennis Reinhart. Period. Stop the schoolyard bully stuff and lets enjoy our Marauders together as best we can...Theres only 11k of them...

:cool:

Been there, done that. I, too would (and have) make the 4hr drive just to hang out, help out and party after!!!!!!

And then makes the worst business decision of his life and leaves MM.net.


EDIT EDIT EDIT: Only AFTER showing his true colors to everyone.

I had Art car make a transmission pan and a transmission rebuild kit


I'm really not trying to start anything, however Art Carr is a pretty good size company and the 4r70 has been around for a while. They really did not have a tranny pan or rebuild kit for it until the Marauder came out? Or are you saying those are Marauder specific? If so what makes the Marauder 4r70 so different from any other Ford 4r70?

 
Enough, already. If you have a question for Dennis, start another thread. This one's done.

The thread title has been changed. Of his own choosing, LVMarauder has opted for a permanent vacation instead of making amends. Threats of retribution will not be tolerated.
