I tried not to, but they just kept pushing me. And the reason I don't like them is because I'm different. Okay, I get it. Nobody ANYWHERE NEAR HERE carries Yokomo parts. I get it. I live with it, I've moved on. But it seems like...NO, it doesn't SEEM like, IT IS!!! Every EFFIN time I go in there, the FIRST thing out of their mouth is "We don't carry Yokomo parts." Okay. This is the FIRST thing that pisses me off. CUZ YOU DO CARRY SOME YOKOMO STUFF!!! But, it's just like wheels and tires. No biggie. Okay. Nothing for the chasis. So, I get it. However, I NEVER come in there looking for something specific. It's usually a screw or nut or something that has stripped out from all the dorifto I do. And EVERY EFFIN TIME, they act all RETARDED like they have no idea. I can't understand why they're like that. I don't get upset. I don't act beligerant or "niggerish". I come in calm and collected and simply ask for some assistance. But they grudgingly NEVER give it to me like I got the EFFIN plague just because I have a Yok car. And even AFTER the rudeness, I still remain calm and sometimes even pick up a part from them and rig it to fit my car ANYWAY. I don't get it. Did I piss'em off when I came in among their touring cars and expensive planes and said I will be going sideways instead of in a generally straight line? Was THAT what pissed them off. It's like they can't wait to be rude to ME. I can't even blame it on race or the way I dress cuz I never look like I'd be rude or a problem customer. MATTER FACT, I'm usually smiling when I come in there. And yet, I always get the shaft. And the part that really pisses me off is before I can even get a word out, they're QUICK to relay to me that they DON'T CARRY YOKOMO PARTS. Then, it's the could shoulder for me. What the hell did I do? I've only been there a few times. Is it cuz I'm an out of towner? I mean, I REALLY DON'T GET IT. Well, that's it. I'm done with them. I refuse to support any place where I'm treated like my money isn't worth anything. I understand you don't carry specific parts for MY chasis, but being as how you've (more than likely) been in r/c for longer than I have, I'm sure you could occassionally shed some wisdom or at least point me in the right direction. But NO. I can't even get that. So EFF YOU HOBBYTOWN. EFF THE HOLE YOU CAME OUT OF. AND EFF YOUR PARTS. I'M DONE. Back to the internet for me.

dude the problem is the ppl that work there blow nuts, and a bunch of noobs. I have been racing for 12 years, and worked in a hobby shop. Never once have i gone into hobbytown, they dont have an additude. Just dont go there anymore man, order off the internet or if you want there is a hobby shop off hwy 9 in roswell called hobby mart. those are nice dudes and willing to help:)

nismo^^^ true, to the thread starter. they dont carry yoko. parts. thats just the way it is. i got my drift kit within the 1st 2 weeks it came out in the us. as many others have said order off the net. btw you hitting alot of stuff? cause the only part ive ever need is a kingpin. (and tires). but really they arnt that bad, maybe just a bad exp. :2cents:

neon_guy
05-08-2006, 06:34 AM
Okay. Let me address some of the stuff. For the hobby mart suggestions...thanx. I'll check it out.

Also, I don't plan on going there. Not because they don't carry Yok specific parts. I just think they're asses. I mean, they carry a lot of parts and I can usually find something I need (or want) there. I just think their customer service sux. That's all.

Hey Ninetyfour...here's the thing about this whole paragraph innovation you were speaking of. The purpose of them is to change subjects within a centralized theme. Hence, on THIS present post, I have three paragraphs. I'm addressing 3 different issues all under the central them of responding. However, in my original post, there was no variation of subject. It was all under the topic of me hating Hobbytown. Sure, I could've taken more time to make it grammatically correct to appease any of those English majors out there, such as yourself. But then, one must ask, what's the purpose. I mean, it's a rant...on an informal internet thread. Paragraphs aren't needed. But, thanks for your imput. Next time you have a thought, keep it to yourself. The world will be a better place for it.

Try B&H Hobbies in Snellville on Hwy 78. They have everything hobby related and could probably order you Yoko parts from the west coast, and if you had a return, then you wouldn't have to ship back to the west coast. They are the most well stocked and knowledgable hobby store I have been to in GA.

I used to have a rare JDM/Canadian Yokomo "Honda NSX" that I bought from a hobby store owner once. The only place I could find any parts were from Cali and the parts weren't even exact. That car was cool as hell though and looked so authentic. It also had a mid-engine with beltdrive :cool:.

You might want to try school and reading comprehension skills more and your hobbies less. I didn't repeat myself at all.


As if your imput wasn't useless enough the first time, you thought you'd have a second go at it.

Since you are practicing your numbers and counting, see if you can recognize this as being my third "go at it."


Well, you've got gumption and spunk kid.

Kid? Hardly, chump. I've got quite a few years on you, junior. You have shit on me, cuzz.


How about you just be the perminent asshat of my threads.

You've already filled that position. You're your own asshat in each of your posts.


See, you're not as useless as your gym teacher told you you were. Way to go champ.

Nice one. Where'd you come up with that? You're about as useful as that case of blinker fluid on the shelf at Autozone, peon_guy. You can keep on. But I do know that I will keep on and I will win. Or you can just back down and go on about your business. Later, QD.

That's just the type of things you don't see in today's asshat antics. It's witty and refreshing. You are a true veteran at this. Hats off, guy. http://forums.importatlanta.com/images/smilies/goodjob.gif
The blinker fluid thing was great. Not as funny as when I first heard that back in the 90's, but still a classic line. And in that fashion. YOU'RE as useful as flexnar valve retainers and flux capacitor lcd screens.

ECMgarret, Dorifto is kinda like Doritos but Spicier. And as to my use of the word, clearly, you're talking about a humorous and informative thread that I posted cuz people kept asking how to do it. Which begs the question of WHY were you looking for ammo to throw in a lame comment. I mean, at least with Stretch, he kept everything relative to the post he was in (unless something else was introduced). Here's an idea. Get a life or get good at something cuz disses aren't your strongpoint. E for effort tho.
p.s. I drift real cars too. However, I can see why you'd form that bias assumption. I mean, I could assume that because you spend time on the internet searching for clever and witty banter to throw around and make yourself look cool, that your closest friend is an mpeg of Jessica Alba naked. However, that'd be a bias assumption and either way it goes, that's just wrong. So I won't assume that. :D
