What deal for you guys who are still installing the monsters. Don't sell them just install them. Then the trouble calls will be to ACE not you. Especially when some kid put regular gas in it, and tries to blame that on the builder.

Wow!!! That guy must be a really busy store clerk. I think I have run into him in nearly every store that I shop in, even answering phone calls for customer service at various places. I used to vow to never shop at a store again if I was treated like that. I slowly started running out of stores, so I had to re-think my approach. Now, I at least ask for a manager, then the store manager, then I write them off. I am sure I will eventually have to change this strategy as well.

So, I just got back from the Ace. There are 5 stores in Tucson that are carrying these engines. That is because they are all owned by the same guy who saw one of his employees riding one and thought they were pretty cool. So it is a decision by the owner. Since he is selling them across 5 stores I imagine he could place a large enough order to buy them direct from Grubee but I don't know that. Not much more info to share about them.
