    This morning the NYMC Crew, Danny, and Chuck Mallett arrived in the south concourse only to find that The red Enzo and Black 360 had been removed in the middle of the night, which prevented the rest of the south concourse from opening until 12:30, until a replacement car could be located and set up. Great marketing scheme right?

    no one stole the cars. the guys came in during the night and took them out themselves. i'm not sure why, all i know is they aren't here, and I gave away all their P4/5 posters this morning.

    no, we got a saleen s7 for the photo car, and we put chuck mallett's XLR where the 360 was. besides, i don't think anyone's paying $12 to take a photo with an evo.

    You are right, people would pay 1200 dollars to take their picture with an evo. You have no idea cause no one is daring enough to try it!

    Without getting into details, eCirkit dot com pulled out the 360 Modena and the Enzo because we were woefully unimpressed with the level of respect - or, rather, lack thereof - with which eCirkit's employees, belongings and automobiles were treated by show management. There was a total disregard for us, our things and the cars that show management used to exploit their own agenda.

    But eCirkit doesn't care about the thousands of dollars they charged us. They can keep their money. We care about being overbooked and maltreated. eCirkit will not compromise its integrity just for some publicity. We will change your space. And we did.

    All is well, Shivam, thank you. How about yourself...?

    The money is a non-issue. The fact that we were ripped off when we were told we were given a deal is upsetting; but the money itself is irrespective. The complete disregard for the Enzo that we brought to the show - the Enzo we were told was being entered for free - the Enzo off which they made thousands of dollars in photographs - was upsetting. We are very disappointed with the New York International Auto Show. We are very disappointed with the New York International Auto Show's show management.

    I'm sure eCircuit will be banned from the NYIAS, but we'll never go back, even if we could. If anyone is considering showing their car(s) at the NYIAS, I strongly suggest you reconsider. As earlier mentioned, a formal complaint will be filed. Let them keep our money; but let them know that we - and everyone with whom we associate - will know of their unprofessionalism. And they will know that eCircuit forever changed their space.

    Well I'm actually here to clear up the record for the NY Auto Show. Speaking of disrespect, the *******.com crew showed nothing but it! How do I know this....because I sold them the space and because it's my mother who actually runs the NY Auto Show. The NYIAS is the largest and biggest Auto Show in the Americas, getting far more public attendence then Detriot!

    So here was the deal the ******* crew had with us. Pay a fee, exhibit your stuff, bring the Enzo you willingly gave to the Dream Photo booth to use with photos and everyoones happy. What they wanted or expected was a much different thing we came to learn.

    First off they expected to park on the secure inner road way of the Javits center. Reserved for some show managment and the state police. Now if I owned the buidling I'd say yes. GM and Ford pay 100 times the price the small *******.com crew paied to be there....they don't get parking for free. If you can't pay for parking in NYC don't exhibit at the NYIAS!

    Next they thought that it would be respecful to wear a shirt that said " F@#k You, You F@#king F@#kers" at a family show which was driving traffic away from the whole area. Then there Carbon charater decided to wear only a wife beater and show all his moronic tatoos and slobby look to everyone.....really respectful!

    Next they decided to take it upon them selves to close the entire area because they wanted to leave the show at 8PM on Saturday night when the show is open till 10:30PM.

    The *******.com crew is completly disrespectful, completly unprofessional and as everyone is saying....won't go anywhere.

    Oh yeah I also gave them tickets to the invite only $1000 a plate east side house gally, plus all the free advertising on the NYIAS website and at the show.

    Sorry for all the spelling mistakes here, but now that they are gone we are increadibly busy here and most people like the orange Saleen S7 much better!

    As far as keeping the money...we planned on doing that.....but get ready from a letter from our attourny's for breaking contract!!!!

    Bye Bye Ecirckit.com...or should I say Ejerkit!

    Yes, you sold us the space that your mother sold to you. But what you neglect to mention is that you unwittingly told a mutual friend - who was banned last year - that you were going to try to "milk us" for more money than you charged everyone else simply because you saw our billboard and figured our pockets are deep. And that's exactly what you did. You told Bradley cars were placed at ten grand each and that we could enter the Enzo for free since we were letting you use it for your dream photo booth. Very classy. Does mommy know you're acting like this on a public forum...?

    See above. You scammed us into thinking we were getting a deal. Not professional at all. But no big deal; we can afford it. You and your entire "Dream Photo" crew were obnoxious, disrespectful and all-around neglectful to *******, *******'s materials and, especially, our cars. How many times did I tell you that you need to reinforce the importance of your customers not touching the Enzo? How many times...? A thousand...? Then why do I have a picture of your mother next to the Enzo - with her hand on it...? Even when you weren't taking pictures, one of your crew members got aggressive with Bradley. You were very fortunate and privileged to secure the use of our Ferrari; you took that for granted and you took advantage of us.

    Yes, I was definitely irate that I couldn't park there. ******* paid for parking every other day after that. But let me ask you - how come Ferretti's car has been there the entire time, and is still there...? Hmmm... Additionally, Ford, for example, parks in the back of the JKJCC, by the loading docks. Why would they park on the inner roadway when their exhibit is nowhere close to it...? The South Concourse is the only part of the building close to the inner roadway - so the argument about the big ballers is irrelevant.

    LOL...! This is just hilarious. Your mother and I spoke about this; she probably didn't clue you in on our conversation because you're not yet privy to things about which grown folk speak. I told her if she received any complaints, I would take the shirt off. Meanwhile, I had mothers - with children in tow - constantly coming up to me, complimenting me on my t-shirt. One mother even asked if she could buy it - off my back! Yeah, family show. Next, let's consider the three very scantily clad women you had working for you, posing in 90% of the pictures Dream Photo took. You think ultra short mini-skirts and push-up bras are family oriented...? Damn, what was your home life like...?

    As you probably noticed, your mother never came back. Because no one complained to her about the shirt.

    A classic example of the cry baby exaggeration you've exhibited the entire show. We did not close down anything. We simply decided to leave early. Did that stop you from taking pictures...? Of course not. If anything - according to your nonsense about us driving people away - it could've only helped your cause (try not to contradict yourself so much). We closed the Enzo because you couldn't be bothered with showing any sort of respect or concern for a very rare automobile you used for your own benefit. That you're upset because we wouldn't leave you in charge of an unlocked car is beyond laughable.

    This from a guy who said "Just give me a keys and I'll take care of everything." How are we supposed to trust someone who shows no care or concern for others' things and who talks to mutual acquaintances about "milking" us...? Surely you jest.

    Wrong again. You did not give us tickets. And we were stopped at the door. We had to get in our own way. No thanks to you.

    You shouldn't apologize for your spelling - you should apologize for your character - or rather lack thereof! And if you expect anyone to believe that you're busier on a Tuesday afternoon than you were on Friday and Saturday, you're completely dissociated from reality. You would be busier if you took out all of the cars and just put in a full scale cardboard cut out of Eddie Griffin.

    I'm waiting by the mailbox.

    Take care. Thank you for exhibiting here - as you did at the NYIAS - an unruly, lower-than-low level of disrespect, unprofessionalism, neglect, disregard and poor taste. The exotic car community will surely learn of your total lack of compassion and respect for other peoples' things.

    PS If you're wondering why you didn't sell as many pictures as you thought you would, it's because of the equipment you're using. No one wants their picture taken in front of a pink Enzo. Go spend all the money your mother gives you and buy some real equipment. I take better pictures than "Dream Photo" and I don't know the first thing about cameras.

    Additionally, I'd like to note that you intentionally covered our "Posters For Sale" sign with your sample pictures, just so we couldn't sell any posters. You claimed that us selling posters would detract from your business. Wrong. That would only lure more people to our section. Your shoddy camera equipment, shady business tactics and disorganized racket detracted from your business.

    Additionally, I'd like to note that you had a cry baby fit tantrum when I used to bull horn to get everyone's attention about Jason Castriota's presence in our booth. Having Jason sign autographs of the P4/5 poster was brilliant - and if you hadn't flipped out like a four-year-old, it would have yielded you much business.

    Lastly, I'm not at all surprised that you waited until I was far away before you spouted this nonsense. Your comments about my "slobby" appearance hold no weight here. Compared to your character and business ethics, I look like a tailor-made, freshly pressed Brioni suit.

    Carbon,

    A pleasure to read you as always.

    I hope Brad and the E C I R K I T can still benefit as much as possible from this experience even if you had to deal with 0 professionalism from your deal partner.

    Hope to catch you guys this summer !

    It happened this morning. The Saleen was upstairs with the Spykers, in between the Calloways and the Scions. The Dream Photo booth, along with *******'s two Ferraris, New York Motor Club and Chuck Mallett's awesome conversions were one level below that, in the South Concourse.

    Andrew, Nabbs, Chris - thank you.

    Arnaget, no, this morning's proceedings have no bearing on any of the contests eCirkit is currently running or plans to run in the future.
