I just noticed...Gene is a Junior Member.

Maybe the moderators can fix that in recognition of Gene's past support of the members.

Gene, its Mo from Toronto. If our dealings in Carlisle this year (C6 Z06 Brake package) were any indication of the diligence and care you display when dealing with people, you will have no problem my friend landing on your feet

As the others have noted, be sure to let us know where you are



Junior Member eh

Holy ****! Gene and Jeremy: Please let us know where you both settle up. IMHO, you have both been incredibly helpful and courteous over the years in the Fred Beans Parts Department. Please keep in touch!

Your "rep" is a solid one here at the forum and I've been pleased with the few transactions I've had with you.
Suggestion:
I'll be able to do even more business with you if you move out of state - NO PA SALES TAX!
Seriously, good luck in whatever you elect to do - and thanks for the service to the forum!

Gene,

It was nice to finally meet the
man who has been behind this
all my online shopping this year
at Corvettes at Carlisle. I
hope to see you there next year.
It was a pleasure doing business
with you.

Thanks,
John
Levittown, NY

I've never ordered anything from Fred beans - but your reputation preceeds you, Gene. I know that where ever you land - you will be an asset to that business, just as you were with Fred Beans. Best of luck to you.
