Hey, originating from NJ, NYer's and NJer's and their ilk can be pretty rude. It's part of the culture. It's so dirty, and busy, and generally rude there, that being rude just sort of happens. My advice is, stand your ground. If they bully you out of it, then you didn't want it badly enough. When dealing with these kinds, and they tell you to F off, I tell them F right back. At that point they usually think, 'Oh, this A-hole ain't so bad,' their mindset shifts, and they usually get helpful after that. Of course, here out west where every chucklehead carries a 9mm, if somebody tells me F off, I usually say, 'okay, sir,' and slink away, keeping my eyes on his hands, to make sure he isn't reaching for the 9. But then, I *am* an A-hole. -----Original Message----- From: Phil Dillard [SMTP:dillard@suu.edu] Sent: Tuesday, April 20, 1999 8:07 AM To: VWMAN18@aol.com; type3@vwtype3.org Subject: Re: [T3] Good place to buy carbs?

Well, when I initially phoned PPW for information, I got the impression that they were mightily PO'ed to have to talk to a dummy like me. But, I wrote it off as a possible bad throttle linkage day. Besides, we all know how these New Yorkers are... So, I sent in the $$$. Waited. Waited. Waited. Phoned again.Y弶Ime they were a lot more polite...and contrite. It seems they had lost my address! Well, after the last phone call the carbs were shipped out promptly. On balance? Their price was right, the carbs came complete (except one was only partly assembled...more about that in another chapter when I gripe about having to drop my engine to complete the assembly), and all is now well in Utah T3 land. As to their seemingly irritated attitude about having to talk to an ignoramus like me... well, dang it, they may be right! Besides, we all know how these New Yorkers are....
