Hiiiiii John! Great to have you here. You're in the right place even though it seems your welcome thread ran amok for a minute there. Sometimes they can get a little off track. Anyway, welcome!
Yes... I do remember that faintly. I think that's happened on another list too (Barracudaownersgroup.com?). And I don't think they gave back the money back in either case.
I don't know about the BOG buying anyone a car, but they sure came through for me after Hurricane Katrina. What those guys did will never be forgotten or unappreciated.
