While busy this AM, I received a phone call that was recorded on my cell phone.
Full Throttle Corvette was inquiring about purchasing wholesale. Since there is a preponderance of recalled miss-statements - I always use a written reply. That’s why I haven’t answered a phone in nearly 20 years or more.
I did not call Full Throttle Corvette back and instead sent the following email.

“Thanks but no thanks
I'm not interested in drop shipping for a (taiwan tommy keen) distributor. And I don't want to pollute my brand with association with all the chyna crap. After 45 years - making more money working for a middle man is not that appealing.”
Some time after the President of ncrs (Gary Mortimer ncrs member #1 - [now RIP] ) was ousted his son Eric Mortimer went to work for taiwan tommy keen – just north on Cincinnati, OH. Well isn’t that’s the description that Full Throttle Corvette advertises as their “warehouse location”. Sometime thereafter they purchased or were investors in Full Throttle Corvette.
My oh my how the ncrs founder, his spawn and their purview of Corvette’s have evolved along with the ncrs in the past few years. The ncrs known for their incessant repetitive utterance of “korrect, korrect, korrect” has recent reports state their membership is shrinking by 4-5 % per year. Hmmm, what to do? By golly they now will judge just about Corvette that will pay the entry fee. (I read that at Bloomington the entry fee is $850 for judging.) And when I examine the Full Throttle Website – it’s certainly has its share of the taiwan tommy keens chyna crap – but at great prices. Apparently Gary instilled Eric with his love of Corvettes – No?
At 4 oclock TRUMP is to announce reciprocal tariffs on imports. It’s about time. I’ve said it before, if need be I’ll take it all to the dump someday.
