That's sad to see. Don't wish that on anyone!  :walkaway: I hope he somehow pulls himself back up and comes back stronger than before.

that is sad.
I know the feeling of holding on and going through savings just to keep your business afloat.
This is the rainy day my mother told me about.

But Is this THE bg products line of fluids, etc?

That is quality stuff.
I just bought some bg synchroshift fluid for my transmission in my dodge stealth.
came highly recommended.

That is a very sad thing to read.  I met Barry Grant at a car show several years ago.  A very nice guy that deserved better.  The part about them losing their home was especially bad.  Very, very sad.

I agree it's very sad to see any performance marketer go down. It just hurts us all in the end.
