I posted what I thought about this earlier, but what does e-mailing anything and the Alley taking action have to do with each other ?
That is sort of what I was alluding to, that the alley isn't just going to act without a formal complaint and without investigating the situation first.
The being said though, if I had info on your (or anyone) that would tarnish your reputation here, and I emailed that to 3 or 4 other alley members, I damn well better know that it will get emailed to others and so on, and will potentially end up here.
I imagine who ever did the investigating and chose to share that info with other members here has enough common sense or foresight to know that they have set in motion a course of action that will discredit someone.
And therefore, they must understand that there could be consequences and repercussions to that action. I'm not saying what those consequences should be, I'm not the judge and jury on that, but for sure something would come of it.

From reading your post it looks to me that you weren't able to get a good attorney. Shit happens. I am sure there are alot of closets full of skeltons on this board. Keep you head up. People try to bring down those on top..
For someone to go that far is more than just a little fucked up. If you are looking for a group that probably has spent a collective night or two in the pokey and managed to grow up, you came to the right place.
What's a drunk and disorderly charge or two between friends?
A radar detector! Come on, when he was like in high school. Absolutely ridiclous is this the best you can do to discredit Kevin and his business! Kevin the way I see it, if it didn't happen while you were building our Vipers whats it matter. It happened when you were a teen ager. I guess who ever is stirring this mess up is a saint and never had a child hood. Also! who ever you are, drop your Viper off at Underground and let Kevin & KC build it then you'll have something REAL to talk about! Instead of trash talk you can post 1/4 mile time slips. Kevin Keep up the great work! I'm going to have you build me another one in the near future. KEVIN! Thanks again for your hard work on my SRT10 it was bad AZZ.
This explains a lot thats for sure! Now I see why you get so fired up all the time! You still joy ride on occasion and the traffic tickets explain the radar detector phobia. This only leaves me with one question.. How did you get the incident with the goat off your record?? I know you told me you got off but I thought there was still some charges or something...
Dont let some douche bring you down! Just call your T-Town boys, Stacy and I will whoop'em for ya!
Love,
Chad

total BS for someone to be doing that. i understand checking into a person before ya send $ to them along with a viper but to pass it along to others is WRONG...BIGTIME !
+15 to you for having such balls to bring this out now.
who gives a rats ass what ya did in high school, its what ya did recently and now that matters.
Very Well Stated...
I do not see the relavency in this matter except for someone to use the info
in a completly negative and malicious manner....
....and whoever it is needs to get a fucking life....
Kevin for someone to send out an email like that serves only one purpose to discredit you and your company. It's vindictive, dirty and below the belt. I hope it backfires on them. I think the support shown for you speaks volumes of what your customers think of you and the quality of work they have received. I would do business with you in a heart beat, keep up the good work..
I think it is pretty pathetic for someone to dig up information about things that you did over 15 years ago. Clearly, someone out there has an out for you. I can only imagine who it is, and I think that you should let everyone know who it is. The past is the past. Nothing can be done to change it. Whoever dug up this information only proved that they are nothing but a low life.
Take it from the kid in high school, I know what you mean about how easy it is to get sucked into hanging with the wrong crowd. Shit happens, and then you learn from it. You are now a legitimate businessman, and a true asset to the Viper world. Who cares about what you did when you were a teenager?
Not much I can add. Its too bad we have to deal with fucktards now and then. As you can see your past has no influence on what we think about you today. Just keep doing what you do best, there will be others who will try to bring you down in life. Just know thats only because you are doing better than they can. Not your problem and neither is any of this. I think of you in an even higher regard than before. Guess there shit didn't work.
Another thing worth noting. Many good people read this thread today and didn't find it necessary to condemn the actions of those who used these tactics. You don't have to like anything about Underground Racing to be justified in speaking out against this type of activity.
It has been brought to my attention that someone on this board thought it was necessary to do a background check on my past to include my high school period some 16 years ago. This information is being passed around through emails and some of you may have already seen it. Rather than let these people blackmail me with the threat of public disclosure of this information, I'm releasing it here for any and all to draw their own conclusions regarding whether or not it is relevant as to who I am today.
I'm not sure what the motivation is for someone to dig up this type of information and pass it around and threaten public disclosure but I hope this is not the type of activity that is going to be acceptable within the Viper community. I work hard, race hard, build fast cars and yes at times talk smack. However to the parties responsible for this, if this is what you have as your best response, rest assured I'm not going there with you.
Kevin
I've reread the initial post from Kevin in this thread again and it makes me very angry that someone would try to do such a despicible low life action as what Kevin described. I hold the person or persons that would do such a thing in even lower contempt than my former tuner who charged me $28,000 and caused me to lose the use of my Viper for a year and a half and still have to rebuild my car at my expense with new parts because he did such a poor job in building it.
Your personal life is your personal life.
You are building insane cars, not running for president and not teaching 3rd grade.
No one's business.
Honestly?
Whomever sent out that crap about you should be sued for slander.
In some people's eyes, that could hurt your business and you wouldn't even know it.
If you need a good lawyer to pose the question, pm me man.
College buddy, and THE man....
Dude, you will ownnnnnnnnn the fucker when it's done.
You don't have to explain yourself to anyone other than what happened to their car. Right, wrong or indifferent.
Respect,
Woody.
( Serious about the lawyer thing as well, let me know and number of exceptional Boston attorney sent. )
