Jesse is spot on about the disarray in the parts division of Ford Performance. I have been a Ford Motorsport/Racing/Performance warehouse distributor for over 25 years and the business model is the worst I have ever seen. Parts on the website without picture or prices is a constant problem. There seems to be one person in the shipping department who does not care how he or she packs orders as a lot of parts in small boxes will have the box crushed by the bigger heavier items. This a top down problem and can only be corrected from the top down. I have dealt with many different people at FP and I honestly have liked everyone of them. They are so nice that I have a difficult time raising any hell for fear of hurting their feelings. I even liked the Mopar racer, Jim's best buddy. I too would like for Jesse to return to his position at Ford but he would be a fool to do it without major changes to the business model.

best regards,
