    Default THE POWER OF SPYDERLOVERS!!!!

    OK you get to read some pretty cool stuff on here, but this one was really nice for me to be part of. So I get a call from Setho at Cowtown, saying he needed a new front sproket because he was headed out to the salt flats to race and just found out his was bad!! and once agin time is not on our side! So I got on the NEW BRP part locater being we had sold our last one and still waiting on it to be replaced. The locater...in luck theres one in Georgia!!! No problem!!I'll take it!! PLEASE next day air it to seth address and here's are card number# problem solved, tuesday evening.........Wensday morning I get the call....WE ARE SORRY BUT WE DO NOT HAVE THE PART YOU BOUGHT!!!!!.....dang it.... Time to THINK THINK THINK!!!! MOGANG Joe Xeposhon!!! I remembered Joe had upgraded a year ago to smaller front sproket, and hoped he still had the old one. So I make the call, Joe has it and no problem sending his old sproket to help Setho out....just one problem He's in Texas a thousand miles away from home!!! Joe hangs up and calls me back, He called and has his wife leave it on the front porch as she is late and leaving for work!! keep in mind this thing has less than 24 hours to be half way across the country. Joe suggested that I call bumblebee who is close by to see if she can help out. So once agin the phone call was made. Ring Ring.... Miss Bridget can you go and pickup a sproket off Joe's porch and take it to UPS to have it shipped next day air to Setho...money out of your pocket ???...with out question Setho's adopted mother Bridget jumps into action and goes and picks it up and has it shipped out!!! all within 30 minutes! NOW my friends I tell you that is the power of SPYDERLOVERS, and the willingness of the MOGANG!!!! Got to love being part of this family!!! Thank you Joe and Bridget!!! you all are rockstars!!!! And good luck at the salt flats SethOOO000oooo...

    That story tells it all. You know you are part of a big family when everyone is willing to go out of their way to help solve the problem.

    thanks a TON to cowntown , joe, adopted mom and everyone involved, this is how it should work, (minus the saying there is a part that isn't from the GA store)

    I hope BRP is reading this.

    Also waiting to see if BIGARM can go with on the misadventure.

    What a dysfunctional group of awesome networking people.

    I can honestly say you guys keep me going on about every level.

    Sorry I dragged the story out a bit, but all the details really showed how it all came together.

    Default Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks for sharing Pitbull. Doesn't surprise me one bit. And I'm also excited for Setho heading to the Salt Flats.
    I'm not surprised at your story and I'll tell you why. Back when someone on this site had to have some big surgery done on their dog and "wa laa" they had a bunch of spyderlovers donate some cash for the cause. That was wonderful. Blew me away. Definitely made a big impression on me and I shared the story with some people at work. I would of donated as well but I had already lined up oral surgery for my 6 1/2 year old miniature dachshund. She had to have 8 teeth pulled a month later and that set me back a little over $600. The good news is she is doing well now. (Puppy mills do not feed the dogs properly as pups and they have to pay the price.)
    I love this site and the people who are part of it. A great bunch of folks!

    Very proud to be part of all this and a great group thanks Lamont and bruce, and to the mogang! And to all the spyderlovers who help make this whole site rock. Bridget the 30 minutes I was talking about was from the first conversation with Joe to you completing the task at hand and lol you did get your part taken care of in record time. All very cool by all involved.

    got the panels tore off the side and was testing tonight, could stay with a supercharged BMW m3 of my roommates (its NOT setup yet so he had to shift 2k early) up to 70mph with a ok launch, was tearing thru dirt town "steet testing" stoplight style and then pull into perkins (I know corporate as it gets) and eat with the cops. I do love being a king of dirt town at times like these.

    should be on the road at about 1400, the front sprocket will be here at 1030 hopefully and I will pull off all of the daily driver stuff.
