Re: [DMCForum] Grady again

["Walter Coe" <Whalt@xxxxxxx>]

Well, I've really given Rob Grady a hard time with his shock
absorbers, but he gladly took them back & gave me credit for
them.  I'm the real jack-ass, though.  I enjoy having a few
beers and telling things like they are.

The only complaint I have about Rob is that he tends to be
too conservative when selling parts over the phone.  Really
this is good because he doesn't try to sell me parts that I
may not need.  So I try to quiz him about if there are any
related parts that I should consider replacing too.

When I bought my first DeLorean, I kept Rob on the phone for
well over an hour asking about all kinds of little things.
But I ended up buying a few hundred dollars worth of parts
from him after that.  I'm probably into the thousands by
now.

As for having Rob work on your car: I've never seen his
shop, but I hear plenty of funny stories.  Basically there
are two waiting lines: the running cars & the not running
cars.  It can take him a while to get around to yours.

And it is really amazing watching Rob eat steak.  He totally
covered it with a layer of salt without even tasting it
first.  I just kind of smirked because it reminded me of the
urban legend of some guy not getting hired because he salted
his food before tasting it.  The company wouldn't hire this
guy because he makes decisions before having all the facts
(i.e., salting his steak without knowing if it needed salt
or not.)  And for the rest of the story:  To my amazement,
Rob flipped his steak over and proceeded to cover the other
side with salt.  Yuck!  But I won't say that Rob is the
stereotype of the salt legend.  He just likes a little steak
with his salt.  That's all.  ;-)
