Please don't resign yourself to anything; at least take him to small claims
court.  You should be able to file a complaint wherever the TiiCo stuff was
delivered.  If you have a copy of his webpage showing the fraud he has
perpetrated, contact your state attorney and the FCC.  Regardless, contact your state
attorney for direction on what to do as a wronged consumer.  Hopefully the
others made to suffer in a like manner will jump in on this with you.

Now, we can all sit back and wait for someone to say what a nice guy Peter B.
is, regardless of 4000 RPM mind-deadening vibrations, oil starved engines,
broken alternator brackets and broken promises.  To hell with niceness.  Some of
the biggest shysters I've met were nice.  (My dear, widowed mother-in-law was
sucked into a Ponzi scheme once.  Even after the news of the scam hit the
front page in two inch high letters, she continued to say what a nice boy the
prick who ripped her off was) I'll take integrity and competence in a man over a
sweet personality any day of the week, especially if I plan to send him money
or view his masked face from an operating table.
