Interior/Exterior Hood Air Extractor Scoop
#76
A small price to pay when fun is on the line. This car is my toy/ r&d/ hobby and I do not limit myself today by worrying about the future. IE: NOS and methanol injection Many worry about the warranty , mine was valid for less than 9 days LOL . Individuality was the basis for the original Mini and should continue to be so with the new MINI

I couldn't possibly see what other problems he could have with a product that isn't even released yet....

Well if you look back at his posts in this thread....almost all of them show him being upset by the fact that one must cut a hole in the hood. Then, when randy posted that he found it fun to do such mods.....he made a post that i couldnt really understand about it being about profit......then he really went off because randy couldnt understand him.

I don't understand why he's so pissed, and why the huge issue with cutting a hole in the hood?

I mean, cutting a hole in your hood is really intense....which is exactly why i would never do it, but I'm not gonna flip out just because i dont want to cut a hole in my hood

It's your business also part of your business is too sell these things to people for a profit.

Dude, the only thing that Randy said was that "It must be the heat". If mozzarella is gonna flip out because of that, then he's just looking for a fight.
You're right, we don't know what the deal is with him and M7, but this thread is not the place to air it out.

Honestly , his post really makes no sense gramatically....how is it dismissive for Randy to say he didn't understand it. He might have been a little bit too sensitive if the took randy's post as some dismissive insult. I STILL don't get what he meant by this sentence...the grammar is all out of whack:
And what is he questioning in that post? If i understand it correctly he is saying that profits are the motive of M7 I don't think that anyone would be surprised that any company is in buisness to make profit. This is probably why Randy said he didn't see the point of the post...... there is no actual point to the post.

Grammar aside, I think he is questioning the motivation in marketing of products of questionable usefulness by a company with a mounting numbers of dissatisfied customers. Nobody denies any company's right to make a profit. But when that is the only motivation... I think you can fill in the rest...
Now let's think logically.....if someone's motivation is solely based on making a profit, a smart idea would be to produce products that offer large profit margins. A piece such as this that will probably come out being made in fiberglass has a massive set-up cost, a large amount of time (time=money) and money that goes into R&D/sculpting of the original copy, and a high initial price for creating the mold.....now tie all this into the fact that it's a part for MINI's only, a part for MCS's only, a part for DFIC-owners only,and part for people with enough guts/insanity to cut a hole in their fairly new cars......this narrows it done to a very low customer base. The number of possible customers is TINY. The low customer base will not offer much room for a large profit margin. With fiberglass pieces, companies rely on a large number of sales to overcome the initial start-up cost of the project because after the start-up cost, the cost is minimal. However...when looking at a part that will sell very few because of a limited customer base in an already limited car community.....this would be one of the worst ventures to get high profits.
If you take the simple logic of economics and apply it to this part, you could not possibly think this is some buisness venture to make profit. Maybe the part is useless in the end....but they are clearly motivated by something besides the very small (if any) profit that they would make on this limited part.
I'm all for questioning vendors.....but atleast use some intelligence and tact when you do so. Making a bunch of arguments that have very little standing in logical arguments only make your cause seem to be a personal distaste for a company rather than a disagreement with their buisness practice.
