From my exchanges with Hurley, he's been a nice guy. Anyway.
The guy buys a 10-year old Porsche. Should it have IMS issues? No.
Is Porsche obligated to assist him at this point? No way (but it would be nice if they did). We all know IMS has a potential to be an issue.
Is Brumos obligated? Hell no. If he didn't have any dealings with Brumos then why is he picketing them?
That's like if I started picketing Brumos over my fuel pump issues. They had nothing to do with my car, at all. Now, my dealings with Brumos have been very good, and their parts department has been superb (took back two failed fuel pumps I purchased). I think their cost of ~$300 for an oil change is absurd but their parts prices are fair.
