Supples’ Pub

Update:
Damn. I e-mailed the nice rep back to ask if the coupon would be available for use next year. She replied back within 30 minutes that the coupon was good for 2 years. :thumbsup;

I think I posted not long ago that there was a pretty sweet deal on tires at Discount Tire Direct. I […]

Green is huge right now: carbon neutral business operation, fuel efficient vehicles, power efficient electronics (computers in particular) and more. If a company isn’t talking about how Green it is, its competitors likely are.
This initiative at electronics company Kyocera is very cool and while not the most practical green-contribution a company can make, hopefully […]

Once upon a time when I was writing mobile technology articles and reviews, I subscribed to Gateway’s press releases via e-mail so I could stay on top of new product launches. This has come back to bite me

I guess somebody decided to play with their press release feed system and it auto-puked every press […]

I’ve talked about AutoGeek in a few times before and it has certainly sucked down a portion of my wallet. Through my many hours of detailing the Subaru and Accord (which I still owe a post about, the results were pretty damn good), a fault developed in my Ultimate Detailing Machine (UDM).

I came across a surprisingly good article on “tgdaily,” one of the many offshoots from the original Tom’s Hardware. I normally abhor their articles for many reasons, but this one was rather good and I realized why when I read the disclaimers, it is written by renowned industry analyst Rod Enderle.

Kat’s 06 Accord, a dealer leftover purchased a few months back, has had terrible brake shaking since we got it. She figured it was the difference in driving (her first) stick, understandably, but the first time I really got behind the wheel I noticed the shaking.
I expected them to replace the pads and cut the […]

 How did I miss this hot deal? Oh well: Californians get free Porsches and to balance things out, eventually they will drop into the ocean.
Local man Bruce Stepper took out a second mortgage on his home after getting a promotional flyer in his mailbox. “I am ecstatic - I brought a shiny red […]

Now you might think the title relates to performance of a computer or a car, which I suppose is also applicable in this discussion, but I’m actually referring more to services.
With a lot of things these days, when you purchase a product, you’re also purchasing a service behind it. This is usually in the form […]

The proper way to treat customers has been a hot topic lately. Mark and I discussed it regarding our customers recently, and he discusses the “Customer Service Hook” over at markitude.
As you all know I’m a car nut and especially so with my GTO. As such, I interact with vendors on the LS1GTO.com Forums quite a […]
