Mr. Nimo...what about your civil procedure class!  The
long arm statutes and minimal contacts....and place of
contracting and performance (delivery of engine) as
basis for venue.

You should be able to sue a vendor in your local court
if they are conducting business in your state over the
internet or the phone or through the mails.  Serving
them might be a little more difficult, but not very
hard.
