The hobby shop whos races we run on occasion is totally different. He is the nicest hobby shop owner I know. The other guy I go to is a haggling machine. I got a $150 car for $125, and a $15 skidplate for $7! "Can't do any better on that nitro car? Well, how about a free quart of nitro! That's what I'm after!" The Hobby Town I went to sucked. The people were burnt out losers who didn't know a dogbone from a dog collar, and could barely spell the letters on their nametags out loud! I get so many privelages from my LHS's, it comes with years of loyalty and a lot of money. $1000 isn't an ordinary purchase, so I don't know why those guys aren't all over your ankles begging forgiveness!

Find another one, they sound like they don't want your buisness anyway. With an attitude like that I guess they must not need it either! Oh well...good riddens!
