That was NOT your gawd-damned decision to make son. It was Jamies, always Jamies. Next time you do something that directly contradicts what the client point blank told you to do, you'll be lucky if the client does not withhold payment until you change it to the way the client ordered it. How fucking dare you change Jamie picking the ECU and then I have to listen to Jamie bitching about the ECU. It was NOT your choice on the ECU Mark you presumptive jackass, it never was.

I took the car back and left my truck and trailer with friends to drive back. The a/c was fixed, the radar detector was installed, the deceleration issue I could not replicate and is shown in the drivability video below. I drove this car just shy of 500 miles with not one issue other than air conditioning after Shawn drove it 500 miles without any issues.
Do not ever speak for me.
All those gawd-damned issues were there during the Convention. Sorry I could not be your QC department and find all your errors for you. During my vacation, with gout, recovering from a heart attack, in a parking lot, in mid June heat, while the whole forum watches.
Why don't you call Jimmi and his lovely girlfriend Monica right now? Call Kyle and his father, or talk to Daveracer, Jody or anyone in the parking lot with those guys. Ask ALL of these people whether the car had issues or whether I was happy at the Convention. Or if I was just putting on a "happy face" so that Marsh Tuning did not take heat in public.
Apparently it has not dawned on you that I was fucking pissed off and miserable during the entire Convention. From the time I hit your shop, I was dismayed, unhappy, disappointed, upset and pissed off. I was fucking being nice and trying not to be mad at men I previously considered friends. I felt sorry for you Mr. Anxiety. I was trying not to get too upset myself and have another fucking heart attack. You're gawd-damned lucky I was personally in such bad shape, and still considered you a friend (who was fucking up by the numbers) and therefore I did not put my hands on your sorry ass. Do not EVER speak for or presume how I was acting or feeling at the Convention.

He has very valid points on a lot of things that I have and will again take blame for (even if I did not do the install as i was the one to facilitate this build). What I want people to understand is that Shawn saw all of this before he picked up the car the 2nd time(he drove the vehicle from thursday till saturday night and put over 500 miles on it and saw these issues first hand and was complimented on the car numerous times with nothing but praise and smiles on his face) but now its all of this. Being that I overseen the job and these problems made to to the customer now it is my blame that should be put on this not jamies. I had jamie do the tune, I had Justin Install everything and do all the work to the car, I sold all the parts and researched exactly what was needed for the install. Even though I did not pick up a wrench I will take blame as I oversaw(im probably repeating myself again but I need to make that clear).
The more legit fuck-ups you make as a contractor the more nit-picky and less forgiving the client becomes overall. At this point, you get ZERO slack of any sort, even on being lazy enough to not use a damn spark plug wire loom or a tie-wrap. This is how it works in the real world of business.
Do NOT speak for what I did or did not see. On my vacation, still recovering, limping through the parking lots with gout, and I was supposed to find your mistakes?!? This right here, is EXACTLY why you are clueless as you are still trying to shift responsibility for your fuck-ups to the client.
Once again, that Convention Happy Face was a gawd-damn acting job. Apparently a damn good one, as I was trying to shield my friends Mark and Jamie from public ridicule and scorn.
All this "I will take the blame" like you are nobly throwing yourself on your sword. How about, for once in your life, you just flat-out sincerely apologize? How about "I'm truly sorry, no excuses, no whining, I fucked up, can you forgive me?" How about that Mark?
Do you understand that if YOU bring in outside sub-contractors to work on a clients project, YOU are directly responsible for everything they do or do not do until that project is complete? Justin was working for YOU and YOU were working for me. YOU answer for his negligence.
