A last few points. To those dissing Neons, of which we are discussing only SRT-4s which in their class destroyed all competition and through factory avaialable upgrade kits produced what were arguably the epitome of small car perform,ance. What you got for under 25K was amazing.
Dodge Neon SRT4 Stage 3 - Road Test & Review - Automobile Magazine
Read it, reputable magazine. Anyone could build this same car, in fact I did, and drove the hell out of it. But in any case, this isnt about that.
The owner is known as the guy locally if you want your TD truck to be able to pull up the track at MIR or stumps at a job site, I dont think anyone disputes that, he knows these trucks and knows how to build them for whatever purpose the owner needs. I have not heard anyone dissing him, or his family, or his family practices.
Those trucks are the product of his shops labors, his babies, and nobody like to hear thier babies referred to in a bad light. Realistically, he cannot pull a psych eval on customers to see who the asses are. As the SOMD Racing crowd learned, real easy for a name to be ruined. They had to shut it down, even though most of them had done nothing wrong.
The TD truck community, which on this level is pretty small, if they want to handle this sort of thing, needs to apply social pressure. "Hey Bob, saw your smoke show by Chipotle, pretty asshat move bad, people are spitting near my truck now, thanks ass."
Most people seek the approval of their peers. If thier peers do not approve, chances are they will change. SO, while it would behoove HollyRock to post a sign in the shop pointing out that public displays if asshattery while displaying the companies stickers makes the compan y looks bad, they certainly have no obligation to hunt down #######s individually. I would be surprised if there are not customer appreciation cookouts at the shop, great place for a discussion about how public displays affect public perception. If you all dont want the state to shut down truck modding, you all better think about this,
If I, in my SRT-8 tell Mr " LISTEN TO MY MIGHTY ENGINE!!!!!! SEE MY MIGHTY CLOUDS!!!!! I AM A MAN !!!!!!!!! that perhaps the empty parking lot at Triton might be a better place to show his stuff, he will look down on my puny 6.1 liter gas motor and laugh......... he might listen to one of his own kind.

Damn you really are an ass, arent you
Man, I dont even have a degree, I do have a California high school equivalency, though. I'm almost 50, and have spent more than 30 of those on the end of a wrench so suck that. Rebuilt a C4 in my basement including the clutches and steel by myself with a book and no other help. Got out of the Navy after 12 years of sweating balls off loading weapons and fixing and flying in the back of aircraft getting intercepted by Soviet fighters and Iraqi MIGs ensuring your freedom to threaten my scrawny ass, which carried that C4 to the basement myself. Spent a month pulling phone and cable wires, then six months humping lumber at 84 in Mech from August til December. Shingles, lumber concrete, did it all. Then three years as a deck level helicopter mechanic before moving up to assisting engineers. Now I teach aviation weapons loading to real men, ones who put thie lives on the line every day to ensure azzwipes you can soud off about sh#$ you have no clue about. People respect me and hire me for what I know, not some piece of paper.
So, before sounding off, have some faint clue about what the eff you are saying. Because I get paid well now for the experience I gained behind a wrench. And still wrench my own stuff today, just finished tie rods on the SRT-8, a car you dont buy selling fries, or even wrenching.

Techie, you and your kind are a joke. You've proven your lack of intelligence in a previous post. Not one of you or your moronic buddies bothered to mention that Hollyrock was currently in business when I expressed ignorance to this fact. Not one of you bothered to state "I'm sure the owner would like to know that people are misrepresenting his business by driving like douchebags, I'll notify him about this thread, thanks."
Nobody has told me who gives out the decals, if anyone can get one, if you simply have to put green into the Hollyrock owners pockets or actually be a close friend and / or relative to get one. Please answer me. I'm dying to know. Let me know so that I can get one for my refrigerator. I'll order one online right now if that's all it takes. I'd wager a few buttheads on here are some of the people making the Hollyrock name look bad when they drive like morons.
Most importantly, nobody has come on here and said "My name is Billy Bob, I drive a whatever colored blah blah blah truck with a Hollyrock decal on it. I only race at the track but can honestly say that a few of my fellow diesel enthusiasts are screwing it up for the rest of us and making Hollyrock and possibly the owner of the business look bad. If you would like to see my truck in action in a safe and legal manner go to Youtube and search for blah blah. I don't condone driving like a jerk in public and I'm sure the owner of the business doesn't either"
The tone was never like that. It was defensive from the start. I figured that I would have gotten a PM by now from one of the open minded and curteous diesel drivers out there rocking the Hollyrock banner. Maybe invite me to converse in a friendly manner. I guess I shouldn't have expectations that high.

And techie, were I your boss, I might ask you tone down your insults and threats to people who probably know a lot of potential customers. Guys like me, and there are a few here, we are the sort of guys that friends come to when looking to get work done. And while I have told folks to check out HR in the past, as what I have seen has impressed me as quality stuff, if you work for them, that would have to change, I know I wouldn't want some ass who thinks degrees are for #######s working on my truck. I do my own stuff, so that doesnt matter to me.

And I have no shame in doing it
Finger nails painted, lycra/spandex.. it's all good. I do more for people in this community, kids, and more importantly, sick kids than 98% of this forum probably.
(Matthew 6:1-4) - "Beware of practicing your righteousness before men to be noticed by them; otherwise you have no reward with your Father who is in heaven. 2 So when you give to the poor, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be honored by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. 3 "But when you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving will be in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you."
No chit. I went out and razor-scraped all the Trick Trucks stickers off the windows of all of my trucks and come back to find 20 more posts.

So.... lets recap.
The OP posted something about a problem with yet another stupid-azz driver around these parts and the fact that they happened to have a HollyRock sticker on their vehicle. Also, the OP goes on to say that it might be in the best interest of the HollyRock business owner to not condone such stupid-azz driving and possibly enforce this somehow at his establishment in the hopes of ridding the road of these people.
The results:
- The business owner responds having totally misread the OP's post and makes a very harsh and accusatory statement towards the OP even though the point was totally missed.
- Several of the business owner's friends, employees, or customers have "come to the rescue" with posts of name calling and general a-holeishness that mimics the likes of those actions of the very people that the OP originally posted about. This only reinforces the OP's argument.
If this isn't a model SOMD forums tread.... I don't know what is
