So we got this trainwreck. I know you all seen it.
http://www.hardlinecrawlers.com/forums/index.php?topic=25361.0

So as a non-SE guy, what gives? My opinion is it reflects poorly on this site that I like to call home.
All my interactions with Adam at stuff (i.e. KOH) have always been better than good. Seems like a good kid. Yes I say kid, even if he's twenty-something now adult, Its pretty obvious he doesnt know or understand how to represent himself.

I know we all make mistakes every now and then, and really should get called on mistakes more often. But that grilling, bandwagon wreckage on page one right now, is kinda hard to stomach.

Have any of you reached out to him and said, hey, you ****ed up, you know you know it Sucks but live, learn, man up, make it right and try to salvage this bullshit.
judging from responses, JohnG seems to have been the only pillar of this site to chime in, say good things about Adair as well as extend the olive branch to allow him to correct his actions.

Or do I just care to much about the ideal of aiding the younger generation in recognizing the line between acceptable and unacceptable?
 
I have known him since he was about 14. I know his parents. With his attitude, I don't know why he is not black and blue from getting his ass beat on a weekly basis. IMO, he has earned everything he is getting. He has not signed in here in a couple of days, sure he is hoping it will blow over.
 
He 100% deserves it. Best part is there is no way in hell that kid fabbed any of that himself, someone else did it. He can't even change his own oil.
 
I am probably close to Adams age (I am 25) and I want to slap the hell out of him after the crap he has said in that thread. You have to get over yourself to run a business. I consider myself pretty successful for my age in what i do (sales rep/install architectural metal) and would NEVER in a million years talk to a customer like that. If he thinks its hard in the 4wd business, try construction. You better have some ****in TOUGH skin.
 
I didn't reply, because I have no clue what to say about that train wreck. I'd say no hope for that kid though, I've know several people on multiple occasions at multiple venues justifiably wanted to kill him for being such an arrogant prick. I have personally never had any bad dealings with him.
 
I've had a lot of dealings with Adair as if late and I've got to say I've never had any bad dealings with him. But like other have said sometimes you need to learn a lesson the hard way!
 
So do we even think Adam bent any of that tube, or welded any of it? WHo does he have that would have done it?

I am almost 100% sure he has done none of it himself. He had BTF build the single seat buggy because he could not. I know he is friends with Peter that has the old BTF KOH Buggy, and he has a big helicopter shop. I would not be surprised if he is using his shop and staff. Adair has always been good at taking credit for the work of others.

He had BTF FINISH building the single seat because the original builder quit working on it when he quit paying him to work on it. I have heard that it is Peter's shop and tools that he is using, but I do not know that for a fact. But it sounds logical.
 
The 747 motor sports billboard is out front of peters shop. I know because it is almost across the street from my house. I get a good laughter everyday on my commute to work when I see it.
 
I love how that guy liked the cage until everyone went off on it.

That is so funny to me.

Actually I do not have Adairs number. You seem to have all the answers though.

Never said I had the answers, but I know it's not Peters shop.
