Re: [alfa] Caribou tops warranty

["Dean W. Cains" <dwc@xxxxxx>]

I've posted MANY positive comments about various Alfa parts vendors, and 
often times individual products, too.  And I'm certainly not stingy with my 
praise for this Digest when a fellow Alfa owner needs help or advice, but 
there's no reason to be mute when a lurker only surfaces to dispute his 
well-deserved, albeit tarnished, reputation.  The fact that I've never made 
a positive comment about Caribou might have something to do with the fact 
that I haven't ever had a positive experience.  Funny about how that 
correlates, isn't it?  So, Ed, the answer to your question is, "Yes, I am 
singling you out."  But then again, so are quite a few others, if you count 
a number of subscribers this Digest, the AlfaBB, and the link below to the 
Better Business Bureau.  Send me a check, and send Brian his seat 
covers.  You're the one who owes us the debt, not the other way around.  Do 
you need our mailing addresses?  I'll be happy to write of my positive 
experience with Caribou, after the check clears.

If there are any further doubts about reasons for my lack of positive 
Caribou comments, have a look at the BBB site, which BTW, I have not 
complained to:

http://www.bbbsouthland.org/

Enter either "Caribou Imports" or "Caribou Canvas" in the BBB Reliability 
Report search box.  The site's a bit slow, but I suppose that might be 
related to the number of complaints pending . . .

BTW, I'm just looking for a decent top for my '74 Spider, not another 
pissing contest.  No one else responded to my "California Raisin" analogy, 
and it was just a comment, obviously made without enough forethought.
