I was not impressed with their service or lack of. They do show some good looking teardrops on their web page.

I have witheld public comment on this subject each time it has come up over the last coupe of years or so ... and will continue to do so.

However, I WOULD like to make a suggestion:

If the individual or vendor from whom you are considering buying anything teardrop related is not at least a semi-active PARTICIPANT in some kind of demonstrable and visible TEARDROP ACTIVITY (whether it's building teardrops, helping others build teardrops, giving advice about building teardrops, going to gatherings, posting on any number of teardrop-related discussion forums [including their own!], etc., stc., ...) or some other manner of actually BEING INVOLVED in this teardrop lifestyle/hobby/passtime, you should seriously question their sincerity and motives for being in the teardrop MARKET PLACE. I know everybody would like to save a buck and get the best deal whenever and wherever possible, but SUPPORTING THOSE WHO SUPPORT YOU is always money best spent in the long run. And besides, they/we who are actively involved and visible are accountable to you the customer in more ways than the short-term bottom line. Know what I mean?

Food for thought, anyway ...

CHEERS!
