Mods, please clean up the thread.

Unbelievable. If true, this just makes TBR look even more like a couple of chuckle head kids running a business out of their mom's basement. They did take down the image (the MI pic) and thread about the "TBR" manifold in the last 12 hours. What a way to operate.

It really is a shame they act that way... Seems like they have the resources to do some cool stuff, but they just cant help but get in the way of their own success.

Golden Eagle should yank TBR's vendor status because they don't deserve it. And if they do lose it, the irony is that they poisoned the business relationship with their own deceit.

cali yaris · 02-11-2013, 12:31 PM

^ I don't think they have vendor status, tooter.

haha

tooter · 02-11-2013, 12:41 PM

How can they sell Golden Eagle manifolds without being one of their vendors? Unless they actually can't and were just claiming that they could.

At this point I wouldn't put anything past them.

Garm... be sure to copy this before it disappears, because it won't be there for long.

1.5 · 02-11-2013, 01:54 PM

Yeah so they posted it to FB only lol

Correct.

shinlee · 02-11-2013, 04:12 PM

It's been forever that i've bought upgrades for my yaris, but Garm was the only person I would shop with, and the absolute best in customer service in working with people. I wish that I was financially at the same place those years ago that I am now, because I would've pimped the yaris out so much more, lol. Priorities changed for me though after 2 kids, but I still love reading about all the awesome advances Garm continues to push for our great car!

cali yaris · 02-11-2013, 04:14 PM

^ ha, great to see you on here. ...ooh, 2 kids will do that for sure! But that is a much more precious experience than modding a car.

You can return to it when they are in school, or old enough to hold a wrench -- whichever comes first.

Its really one guy that's the problem from what I can tell. Kinda passive aggressive in nature.

malibuguy · 02-11-2013, 10:59 PM

Wow tbr.

Give it up. Your just looking like an even bigger tool bag each and everytime

jetblast · 02-11-2013, 11:26 PM

I'm a firm believer of what goes around comes around....kinda from my hockey player days of standing toe to toe. I was only knocked out three times in one season.

Pretty lame existance having to steal someone else's ID.

*Astroman* · 02-11-2013, 11:27 PM

I suggest everyone ignore this tool from now on, and immediately report any suspected posters to the mods. This behavior makes me absolutely sick. TBR has been the biggest TOS violator in my 5 years with Yarisworld and this was totally out of line on so many levels.

Garm, is there any way to take legal action against TBR for harrassment, lies, forgery, impersonation? I would be happy to provide any of TBRs posts and IP addresses used!

Scubaru Steve · 02-11-2013, 11:35 PM

Toy Box Racing looks like nothing but hacks....
i considered a few things for an n/a build but now no chance, id rather the car stay almost stock....

cali yaris · 02-11-2013, 11:35 PM

I have documented most of it. For this incident, it would be Golden Eagle's move.

Best to be vigilant and also be thankful we still have Mods here who care about the community. I know I am, and I am not saying that as a business.
