US Cartool and Schumacher

This is like the third thread on this. And near as I can tell no one has bothered to pick up a phone and ask US Cartool what the deal actually is. Lot of speculation and theories about how this or that is a scam or a rumor, but all just just sowing circle BS.

It says right on their website they’re having “sporadic supply issues”, which is a common issue at the moment. Hotchkis is apparently having issues getting raw materials, some of their sway bars are months out. A quick look at Summit for parts and you’ll see a lot parts that aren’t on hand are months out. The shipping ports are all backed up.

USCT has been supporting Mopars for years with good service and one of kind parts. It’s a wonder anyone makes parts for these cars seeing how companies get treated around here.

But this has been going on for a few YEARS now with Schumacher. I get it. His wife is sick....or worse. I really hope not, but I read somewhere she has or had cancer. That's a *****. I lost both parents and a few friends from it. Seen friends and family suffer through it and survive. It's a terrible disease for sure.

Having said that, when you're running a business, business is business. He needs to put a general statement out about what his intentions are, personal problems be damned. He can take five minutes and let his past customers who've spent lots of money with him, plus those wanting to now. My heart goes out to the guy, but to not inform for years is unacceptable. There have even been people who've paid and received nothing. What about them? You can throw up all the "sporadic supply" issues you want, the fact is, nobody really knows because he's said so damned little. As far as I'm concerned, that's a poor excuse with no more explanation in such a long time.
