    I dunno, not even sure what you mean by that.

    Did I somehow break a rule? Would you mind telling me exactly what it is your talking about?

    How far you wanna take what????

    Yes it’s true. I turned the pump up on that 290 Cummins a little too much. To quote Dominic Torretto, “So much torque, it twisted the chassis”.

    Here it is after I dropped the trailer. Real pain to climb up in afterwards, but I could do a PM in 10 mins.

    I saw you race that thing against Big Daddy Don Garlits down in Daytona. You smoked him. You ran a 2 sec quarter mile.

    That’s because of my 60 foot times. All the weight to the drives helped me hook up. When I ran Don I still had a 6+4 so I really had to be on top of my shifting technique.

    I already explained that. Your little joke ad for the electric rig wasn't well received by some people and we had a complaint about it
    I was trying to keep things light but you're determined to argue.. You're not as obtuse as you'd like us to believe.
    I tried to get you to lighten up a little and you accused me of censoring and not liking your posts.
    I've never dealt with any of your posts until now. The warnings you've recieved in the past were from other moderators.
    I'm done explaining myself here.
     
    Upinsmoke and PE_T Thank this.

    I’ve gotta side with the staff here @snowman_w900. I didn’t appreciate your post, albeit I understand where you saw the opportunity. As a silent partner in HumbleSnow Electric, we haven’t discussed intellectual property, logistics, investors, etc.

    Im running to every Oreilly’s in the area getting battery cables for the prototype we are unveiling at CES next year. Then I look and you are taking pre-orders. We have struggled to find a steady supply of Diahatsu’s, and Peugeot still hasn’t taken a meeting with us. How will we make production?

    Humble’s wife needs the garage next weekend for a pottery class, and I am going to a Styx cover band concert. Let’s just pump the brakes and regroup.

    Well I guess it's time offer REO a discount on the $500 deposit. I'm hoping to really get some orders rounded up so we can start production soon. I'm assuming the person that was offended and reported my post thought the deposit of $500 was to expensive.

    I'm sorry to who ever this person was, but I just cant lower my deposit requirements due set expenses. :D

    I think the message here was to lighten up, as REO recommended which most of us agree with. No one was here attacking you, no one here insulted you, this is a public forum....you dont own it and I believe unless someone personally attacks you, insults you or something of that nature, then you really cant accuse someone of being "disruptive and mischievous " just because youre not personally fond of their post.

    1. Theres was no insults or threat.
    2. We all know it was a joke about a business deal.
    3. There was no profanity or vulgar comments or language used in any posts.

    You are incorrect.

    If that's the case, why dont you go start your own forum somewhere? I didnt see rules against humor or keeping things light anywhere on TTR.
