In my post I did mention "I'm sure keep secrets and letting people know you have them is good for business so I guess I can understand why" but I guess people didn't read that part.

I perfectly understand why Jake keeps his secrets. Its good business. The teases that he post on numerous other thread without providing actual concrete answer is also good business. Though that is annoying to me as someone searching for answer to certain questions, I completely understand it, and don't fault him for being a business man.

However, its not what Jake leaves out and keep secret that annoys me most. Its the way he phrase certain things. For example the 60 minute thing ..

"Have any idea what would happen to the value of your car and everyone else's if the story hit 60 minutes? They'd blow it up like the Volvo story, the Jeep CJ5 story and all the others and the prices of the cars would all plummet to the point where you couldn't give them away.. They are the media and they will do anything to create the drama that excites their ratings- they don't give a single damn about you, me, Porsche or anything else."

To me that sounds like he's saying hey, I'm actually doing you guys a favor by hiding your dirty laundry so be grateful, but that's not quite true. His website already makes it clear to anyone that can google re: the severity of this issue in our car. So basically, the way I see it, Jake is okay with telling everyone on the interweb re: our IMS issue, but telling 60 minutes is going to kill our resell price. I would argue that the internet has a bigger audience than 60 minutes so he's not doing us any real favor.

Anyways, like I said, he's not the only tuner I've seen on forums with this 'quirk', so maybe its a flaw that comes along with 'genius'. Perhaps its even me mis-reading his intentions since sarcasm and tones don't translate well to text all the time.

I've bought products from him in the past and probably will continue to buy them if / when I need it. Maybe even take his engine rebuilding class if / when I can afford to. However, I'll most likely also continue to roll my eyes when I read his future posts on this forum.
