Just caught this thread.
Thanks to all who are/were customers and became friends.

The time, the effort and the hassles with things like getting a competent manufacturer and other things are what I weighed after nearly a decade.

As most of you can see...its a market...where pretty much anything can and will happen.

Scotty,

Don't know you personally, don't have any of your products, but for the last three years nearly I have been on and monitored 7-8 diesel forum sites and your products always commanded unequaled loyalty. That says a lot for the manufacturer, product quality and service. I have been in business for myself and know some of the competition issues and how hard they are to overcome. Your reputation seems without reproach and for that I am sorry to see your decision to exit the diesel performance market. I wish you the best of luck in what ever path you choose.

So does this mean we'll never see the Limited Edition "Cookie Monster" Scotty Air Systems come to the market?






Good luck in whatever you decide to do Scotty.
Family first, Steak & Cheese second .......

Just to clarify, I have stepped back to evaluate and during that time I am doing other things. IF...and I mean IF I can get a thermoformer that will not change their mind, hit me with 53% price increases etc etc...then I would consider staying in this but at a more personal and smaller level then what perhaps others are doing.

Pencil Neck Don can relate...quality has to be first and if thats means one has to do it all...then a person needs to weigh the benefits.

I guess in a way I am on Paternity leave too and loving it. My daughter is growing like a weed and is awesome. Much more important.

Thanks for all the replies. I wanted to make sure folks knew what I am doing...if by month end there is no progress, then its adios for the business.

I will always particpate on here. Its a great place to learn, chat and laugh.

Scotty

Thanks for a great product, and awesome service Scotty!! Hopefully you can continue you business...but I fully understand the headaches that can arise when you have to deal with other people. Some of them don't care about their customers the same way you care about yours!

Good Luck, whatever you decide!
