[DeTomaso] Cracker in Georgia Re: Jiffy Lube - NPC

Sat Aug 25 16:36:18 EDT 2007

I am not covered in salt, therefore I am not a cracker, if by cracker you
mean white man and that is your way of calling me a ni**er, a ki**,  a w*p,
or a sp**, then by all means let the expletives fly.  I expect no less of
you, name calling is an unfortunate side effect of a limited vocabulary.

Yes, I have a documented nicely built engine and lots of race experience on
the East Coast, real racing against other cars at the same time on a race
tracks, not a one at a time speed runs against a clock on an otherwise empty
road.
Not that I wouldn't mind doing that, it sounds like fun, but it is no more
racing that a Bonneville run.

If you want to come to Georgia to kick my ass, bring all those friends,
you'll need them.

With regard to the original email, I searched for Scott Black and in the
last 18 months I did not see a single entry on the list, the list is often
used by interlopers to post nonsense, nevertheless for any professional, esp
one who makes a living that building the reputations of others, to slam an
entire chain of independent franchisees because some Californians are too
stupid to keep an eye on their car in a 30 minute lube shop was unfair.  99%
of those people are honest, hard working people just trying to make a buck
and get through life one day at a time. The story was an old story and while
true in those instances, it doesn't make it true nationally.  Had the email
said to avoid a particular location or franchise owner, then it would have
been appropriate.

If you subscribe to lumping everybody together in a big group and slamming
them, then I guess I could say that all Team Pantera owners are assholes,
when really I mean just one.

But that would be rude, stupid and unfair, so I won't do that.

I was one of the people that spent hours looking for any confirmation of
your recent so-called accident and subsequent death, this is how you repay
concern for a fellow Pantera enthusiast.  F Y!
