Wow! What a discussion. I think this is reflective of the "big business" mentality that is predominant in the Southeast today.
Someone forgot the reason Bassman bought forklifts was to move product to serve his customers so he could survive and grow and provide jobs for at least 30+ people who rely on him to make good decisions.
Once again the manufacturer and the dealership forgot what the deal was and have started playing games.
FOCUS!
Bassman, I am not in Florida but I can direct you to high ground, if you are tired of the games.
