No longer a Roush dealer

I just wanted to let you guys know that as of this morning, we are no longer a Roush dealer. There are a multitude of reasons, and really... it doesnt matter.

I can no longer order cars, or parts. I do have the Classic and the 380R for sale still, and we will try to liquidate those I would assume.

I don't want this to be a negative thread. I just wanted to let you guys know, because I hear from people "that talked to somebody on Fnsweet" that told them to talk to me. For that, I can not let you know how much I have always appreciated you for doing that.

I am hurt down to my core over this. I have spent time, and a lot of money putting effort into something that brought me no return. Well, it has brought me return.. the return is all of your friendships, and some good memories selling to valued customers. I am thrilled that the last car I ordered was Brians Roush Mach. Nobody here believed that car would work... and it did. The experience with that car was awesome.. especially in a developing friendship with Brian. I can't thank Roush enough for working with me on that car.

Thanks everybody.. I have tried to be a good servant to Roush, Two Rivers, and most importantly you.

Sorry to hear that Andy. I was looking foward to you taking care of me on my next Roush Purchase.

My local dealer (Fort Mill Ford) also dropped Roush. I am not sure if there is anyone in the Charlotte Metro area that is a Roush dealer any more. Maybe Dale Jarrett Ford in Mathews. Maybe.

Thanks for all your support and help. Brian's car was a nice one to end on.

Good luck with the other "brands".

Andy,

It saddens me to hear the Two Rivers is no longer a Roush dealer.

Thanks to you for spending the time and effort to sell the cars and parts you did. You helped me alot in my decision to buy a Roush. I wish in every way that I could have bought one from you. You did help me get the parts that I needed and I thank you for that.

Of course you know we all want you to stay here.

Thanks guys... I appreciate everything as always. It hurts, and it shouldn't.. I guess the musican in me brings out that bad habit... You won't make it here unless you have a hook up or a nitche... I was trying to carve a nitche, and failed. I am really scared about the future.. especially in some financial stressful times.

I will most likely just lick my wounds and just ride it out. It's not a high stressful place here like a lot of dealerships, and I have to say that they treat the customers wonderfully. Just from a salesman standpoint, it's very hard to make any money.. I was really excited about the high performance angle hopefully helping me to establish value to those that matter. It will take me a while to make back what I lost... nobodies fault but my own. I am the one that stuck with it.

I appreciate the words and kindness. You guys are my friends, and it really means a lot. It just sucks when you try to stick with something, and for stupid reasons.. you watch it fail.. and there is nothing you can do about it.

I really don't want to even talk much Roush stuff.. so, I may be around on here less.

Thanks

Well it went to a good home anyways.
Is Jim on a mission to have a whole dealership of cars or has he always been a pack rat collector of all things on four wheels?

Hey if ever needs someone to look after his collection I am available!! As long as he doesn't mind the intermittent test drive at the speedway every now and then!

I'm so sorry too Andy, I know what you are going through. I sincerely hope & pray that it will all turn out ok for you. I see a lot of this in my industry too, hard to understand or accept the way management decides things. I have seen a LOT of Ford dealers dropping Roush this last year. Wonder why, where will the enthusiast go for service or new cars? Please hang in here with us and keep us posted on your status. No one wants to see less of such a good friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
Your friend, the Elder Wind.
