Im curious who your selling to this time considering the nature of this thread. Is this a molehill or a mountain in your opinion?

Y'know, I wonder why posts like these pop up? I mean, if the kid dislikes you, cool. Why post out here and give you all of this pub?? It's almost like he's your no. 1 fan or something! Warrtalon, you and I have talked before (pm), how does it feel to be famous???

I mean if you don't like Warrtalon, don't post on the board, just cuss him out in the comfy confines of your own home or office! But to start a 17+ page post?!! Ludicrous to say the least.

But hey Warrtalon, this gives new meaning to the ol' line "I'll make you famous.."

As of late his sponsorship bias is getting a bit ridiculous as is his superiority complex - not everyone cares about 5 tenths of a second so much as to go through clutches and synchros like he does. Just because people don't want to pound the hell out of the car like him doesn't mean they aren't as knowledgeable.

While I think he does try to be helpful the sponsorships and his success at the dragstrip have stroked his ego a bit too much.
At least I know where you stand now, anja. I get asked many, many questions in PMs and over AIM related to mechanical things and installs. I answer all of them in great detail, and if it's something over my head, I admit that and point them to a better source. It's very disappointing that you'd say these things, but at least I know now unlike about 150 others who voted and didn't say anything. Thanks for the heads-up.

The great thing about this thread is that I've helped no less than 10 people in PM and I don't know how many in regular threads since it began. I will continue to do so despite the detractors and their exaggerations. I'm not denying everything, but I still can't believe this guy was allowed to write half that stuff when he didn't even know Buschur was a vendor here. That just amazes me, because he was using that belief as an argument against me only to find out he was terribly ignorant.

I think by reading the posts that you (warr) can be kindof an a$$ the way you put it. But the info is helpful in most cases. I think its because alot of things that are brought up have been covered and some dont take the time to search. If I was being sponsered by a company I think that there is nothing wrong with getting the name out there. (even tho is buschur, every one practically already knows about it) but thats technically was part of sponsorship is about. and Buschur is a paying vendor so who cares if he likes to tell everyone about it.


just my 2cents

I didnt read any of this thread.

I will say he has been all over his package deals lately but who cares. If David Buschur gave me my own package, i would be pretty f***ing proud of that too.

If you dont like him, dont wanna read his posts, Put him on your ignore list!!! That ends it right there.

Going by the facts that people complain about him, and dont put him on their ignore list, means (insert psychology facts here)

No reason to be disappointed. I've never been sponsored so I'm not sure what it entails but I'm sure product promotion, for lack of a better term, is required. I personally thought your advice and feedback were much more helpful (unbiased) to new EvoM members before your numerous sponsorships.

The only thing I really have a "problem" with is that you hold your results as a benchmark by which all other cars/drivers should be judged. Yes, they are the best for that combination of mods but I'm sure I'm not the only one annoyed by constant comparison to your car by yourself in innumerable threads.

He is pretty fu**ing annoying. And all the marketing he does for his WR stages, which he believes every member on the forums should have.

Ignorance has a way of getting exposed VERY quickly here, which is why I like these boards so much. Anyway, how many pages do you think we'll have by the end of the day? 30? 40? You better head on over to the Newbie forum and flame the hell out of 'em to keep this thing rolling.

As far as I am concerned Warrtalon has always been a positive contributing member. He doesn't sugar coat things and I think this gets on some people's nerves, but he just tells it like it is, and I for one, I wouldn't find evom.net as interesting with out him.

Warr and Al should get married.....both good guys and have lots of knowledge...Al needs to learn some customer service skill and I think he has a split personality. They both need to work on the phrase "No question is a stupid question." Not everyone is mechnically inclined. When you get a tune i feel its expected that everyone knows everything about whats wrong with the car and everything should be ok...they encounter more problems than non problems...its the nature of the beast....They need to see that instead of making some ppl look stupid when there unaware or learning...that not the case...that's my .02
