Hooker/Holley parts junk

[rocketman]

Man whats with the holley stuff, seems like any brand owned by them sucks. hooker headers dont ft, carbs full of casting residue, clogged jets, no power valves installed.

I'm done with them.. I know they where/are in bankrupcy i guess thats there reasoning for junk products and having it made in china and mexico.

That's what happens to a company when it's run by bean counters instead of car guys.

That seems to be happening to just about anything that used to be no 100% american. WTF. Then certain poeple sit there and point fingers at everybody else, while their toyotas, nissans, beamers, or benz's are sitting in the driveway.

Hey bro, this is a good, clean forum where we all like to have fun and occasionally poke fun at others. But, there is, in my opinion, no place for that kind of language here. I'm talkin about the "bean counters" comment. While you were at it, why don't you just say "watermelon and fried chicken eater" or "white sheet wearer." You are a new guy and probably didn't mean anything by it, but just be cautious of the things you say on here please.

I hope I am missing something here. "Bean Counters" typically refers to Accountants and has no racial implications at all. Help me out here. Unless you are an Accountant and take offense, then, well, OK.

Maybe he is an accountant? A really thin skinned accountant?

Then again maybe hes a really good troll....

[Bow Tie 67]

To funny, a good friend of mine is a CPA and our labour union treasurer, he has to have thick skin.

Racist? Are you kidding me? Where's your mind at. Why is everything always about race. I don't have a racist bone in my body. If you are jerk it doesn't matter if you are blue green or purple. Jack asses are still pink in the middle. I have never heard that statement used for anything but the tight wads in the accounting office that know little or nothing about the auto parts business. I'm sure a few tight wads are now going to be insulted. I want to say I am sorry in advance.

[214Chevy]

I didn't call anybody racist. And If I implied it, I apologize. But, the word racist isn't anywhere in my post. I further said, you probably didn't mean anything by it. Did you all miss that part? I guess so. It may be a regional thing, but where I'm from "bean counter" is associated with a Hispanic person, not an accountanat. I'm here in Texas where we are right next to Mexico with alot of immigrants. And no, I'm not an accountant. Just someone on this forum who likes it here and is opposed to anything not fun and clean. That's the only reason I said be careful of what you say. And if you meant an accountant just be clear and say....a G.D. accountant or something. Have a good day!!!!!

"watermelon and fried chicken eater" or "white sheet wearer."
These statements can only be taken as racist. And the context you used them implied you thought Taman was making a racist statement. Since you are a truck enthusiast as well, we have posted in a lot of the same places. I have always found you to be a good guy. Obviously "Bean Counters" in your area has a different connotation. But, I think you will find the in 99% of the country "Bean Counter" is typically used to refer to an accountant. Check Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bean_counter&redirect=no
I think what we have is a big misunderstanding. My one piece of advice is to use the PM function for giving people a heads up on that kind of stuff. If you don't want to do it directly, inform one of the Mods via PM and they can help sort it out. Saves head aches. Now lets get back to the car stuff, well trucks in my case! :thumbsup: :lateral:

[GregWeld]

99.9%.... Chad.... A BEAN COUNTER (in all of America - including Texas) is someone that works in the accounting department. :woot:

[GregWeld]

BTW -- Holley has been in BK TWICE in the last 3 years....

[Taman]

No need for for an apology. You don't know me well enough to know.

[98ssnova]

yes guys living in Texas for over 20 years never heard of bean counter being racist guy we need to just take a step back and breath. And I also agree with this should have been done on PM. Everybody hug and press on:cheers: :lateral:

[akrapovic]

bean counter......lol I'm thinking he was referring to the term "beaner"

[Vegas69]

If you care, you better find something else more productive to do with your time. Racism is unavoidable and sometimes the glove fits.
