I hope we don't have a whole week of "Poor Volks Cafe".
The deed is done and if the vendor supplies decent parts at a decent price
they'll survive.
I'm sorry to hear that they lost their case mostly because of the price of
new printed invoices and other business items required.
I've never been to an independent VW parts source that didn't have VW
plastered all over the place and Empi makes parts with VW embossed or
engraved on them.
Heck they sell valve covers with VW cast right into them and mud flaps with
VW on them.
In cases like this it's often just a matter of who has the most, best or
lawers that are the best at getting things documented.
