Braineack, you nor this site had anything to do with Wannafbody getting and LOVING his new shocks (he now is a repeat customer BTW). I worked directly with him via phone calls and emails... I used this site (and others) to post the truth and let anyone who cared to know that I was in control of the situation. But indeed, just like the events on this site over the past few days, fueled by site admins over reaction without taking the time to get the whole story, it became a frigging mess.
And what the heck is wrong with the way you learned structure sentences? You type like your a robot who was never programed to use prepositions or where to place verbs and nouns - I kid, I'm sure it's intelligible by someone
Ain't this fun !

It's a mess and I can appreciate you trying to put out the fires but this isnt the venue for it. You pay to sponsor on other sites, if you have something to add there for members complaining there then by all means, post there. If there are members here who are upset and voicing their opinion about Weekend Racer and or Stewart Development then I suggest you email them.
Best yet, i think the best solution out of all of this is just whoever is handling things resolve them once and for all
I am happy to assist in connecting people who have been ripped off by WR/Steward Development through email. You have mine, I will help.
I couldn't do it anymore with him as a vendor, it just tarnished the communities rep.
Again, I still wouldn't order until all back orders were resolved.
Good luck John, you will need it. I hope Bernie figures it all out.

You and Bernie put me in such a crappy position between worrying about people and their shocks and doing whats right for the rest of the community and vendors.
I am pretty certain that the heat from the net expidated change both from you and Bernie. I mean, you want this all cleaned up right ?
Side note, I see you dropped his logo from the front page (know it was done some time ago anyhow....)
I wonder how many people pay the expedite fee
Side note. I am sympathetic to Bernies situation and I feel bad you have this mess on your plate John. But no admin or site is to blame for the mess you put yourself in or Bernie created. **** doesn't happen, people happen and what is happening here is 2 people passing the buck and failing.
Hope you get it figured out.
PS. wheres my shocks i ordered 9 months ago.... just keeeeding

And what events? You mean more of the same 'ol "I still don't have shocks". It's really shitty, you of all people know deadlines all came and went and you yourself had doubts in Bernie. Yes everyone eventually got their shocks, but not after a bunch headaches.
We had already pulled banners ads for Steward Development back in Aug, when he did not make current, yet we left the section open. We gave you guys major benefit of the doubt, especially with a lot of broken deadlines. We just tried of the headaches the surrounding Steward Development and decided our relationship was completely over.
But you're welcome for all the free WR advertising.

I apologize for anybody that read about Bernie through me. I was introduced to his products back in 08 when I was spec racing. I then talked to him about custom shocks and his knowledge of the inner workings and how he can customize them with current tech internals really impressed me. I decided to pass the info along since I thought it would benifit the budget racer who couldn't afford 2k shocks. He was turning out orders, starting badass shock threads, petting Hustler, etc. Then the doom of no call no show.
Sorry guys I thought he was legit.

I bought one of the sets of revalved used Bilsteins which Bernie posted for sale here on MT back in July. I sent the payment through Paypal on July 19th. On August 2nd he emailed me saying that he was running behind on orders but mine would be shipped out that Friday (the 5th). I received no further correspondence over the next 2 weeks so I sent another email on August 15th asking about my order. He replied that they were being finished that very day and they would be sent out on the 16th. I received an email from usps that a shipping invoice had been created. The tracking number status had not changed to shipped or even in possession of usps by the 23rd of August so I sent an email to Bernie asking about the status. He did not reply. I sent another email the morning of August 30th asking what was going on. By the afternoon of September 1st I had not received a reply so I decided to file a paypal case since the 45 day dispute cutoff was looming. In less than an hour after filing the case I receive an email from Bernie saying that he had some health problems and the shocks were going to be shipped "today or tomorrow." Well that came and went without any progress on the tracking system. Finally on Sepember 7th he dropped them off at the post office and emailed me asking me to close the paypal dispute. I said screw that, he had free use of my money for 6+ weeks while I waited so imho putting a hold on it for just a few days isn't a big deal. Well I finally received the shocks in the mail today. They look good and he also included the shock dyno graph printout with them. So I canceled the dispute and I'm glad that I finally have the product that I paid for almost 2 months after I sent the money. I just hope they were worth the wait when I get them on the car.
I also got that USPS tracking number that has not changed since August 16th. Every other week since I sent him money he says "they'll ship thursday or friday" and they never do. I'm upalled that he would send a tracking number and still not ship the shocks.

Puts on WR hat.
"guys, im the new sheriff in town. first off, MT is f*cking with my life and making this seem worse than it is. Your shocks are pretty much done and ready to be shipped. Legacy orders were a big mess but all are solved, cept for maybe yours yours and yours, for that I am sorry. I am also sorry we have your money and all that other stuff. Also note, we have a sale on Steward Development shocks going on right now.... anyone want to place an order?".

Here is my last email from Bernie on 9/1:
I emailed John, still haven't heard anything back.
Hey Anton,
The shocks are shipping either today or tomorrow. I have had some medical issues over the last week or so that needed to be addressed. It's not good news, but I'm still pushing.
This is something that I have been battling over the last couple years, and it seems that along with progress comes unfortunate news.
I appreciate your patience, a tracking number will be forwarded as soon as available. If any further questions please contact John Mueller at weekend-racer.com (john@weekend-racer.com).
