Don't break down in Gillette, Wy
#912
rwhisen-living down here in south texas, it would be difficult to actually contribute much to chuck's downfall. i have said that i will be avoiding the whole state of wyoming if possible. it is going to be up to the locals and the people headed to sturgis to show chuck how every one feels. what are you plans?
there was no t-ball when i was growing up, but i did manage to play in the little league world series in 1961 from el campo, texas.

Also Next year at Sturgis. Look for Hulett to be a ghost town on No Panty Wednesday. The usual crowd of about 60,000 will dwindle to 59,996, sending the economy of the entire region into a tailspin. One from which they may never recover. They'll probably have to blow up Devils tower and plant alfalfa there.
Yellowstone. Forget it. Wouldn't go near that place. Not until the OP gets a formal apology from each and everyone of the 576,000 residents for Chuck's behavior.
I suggest that each school child give up his or her milk money for one day to compensate the OP.
Short of that, I am done with Wyoming.

Geez no one said to avoid Gillette, just don't spend cash in the Deluxe dealerships. I'm sure there are indy's in that town that would really appreciate the business. That's what I'm doing Dan, that and spreading the word, that's all I can do.

seems to me there used to be a really good mechanic up in the Casper area -- seems he did work for a dealership -- I only know this from what I've read other places

This guy is there and I bet he would like the business. I'm sure he'll sell you any tire you want.

dribble--might be a good idea to just cancel sturgis for a few years--that will show ol' chuck! go ahead and take those kids free breakfasts and lunches...we keep hearing that this country is too fat anyway.
as far as the good citizens of gillette go...better business bureau and chamber of commerce did nothing to help the OP. perhaps everyone in that town knows we are just passing thru--just take our money and "deluxe" us.

at the same time, I'm still amazed there are zero posts here about anyone walking through their front door about anything good or bad since the OP's situation. For argument purposes, lets say this happened at the dealer I/you go to. I sure would ask "Ted" behind the Parts Counter on what he knows, if he was going to plead the 5th, I would ask "Alice" in Sales on what happened, or "Bruce" in Service. We all know people at their dealership, why haven't anyone that patronizes Gillette chime in and tell us what they found out. Or are you afraid of retaliation?

Yep Dan and Dribble make great foxhole buddies. Least little bit of inconvenience and they throw in the towel. I guess they need the free sodas, popcorn and camaraderie from people like Chuck Ruiz.
I don't and wouldn't take it as I am unwilling to trade my principles for comfort. I see others aren't so particular who they enrich. There is a conspicuous silence from anyone who lives in that area. Maybe they have all taken an oath of silence since they treat it as a tourist town and don't want anything bad to get out. You know, dirty little secrets.
