Yes, their annual open house, I used to be famous there for my pranking of Dave Smith before the FIA came out. One year I had roughly 200+ people with signs on their windshields "Dave, where is MrMustangs 289FIA", another year I filled his office (pre-Easter) with stuffed rabbits (then donated to a Childrens hospital) as a warning from "Da Bunnies" (inside joke). Another year I walked around Dave every time I saw him on property in my best rainman impersonation "Dave, Dave, where is my 289FIA Dave. Dave, I'm a very good driver, Dave, Dave", well, you get the idea of course when he finally brought out the FIA, I was in the middle of shutting down my business and moving 700 miles southwards (among other family first type matters).

They had a year or so where their customer service (email wise) was not the greatest. With roughly 250-500 emails a day (A DAY!!!!) asking such questions, and only one or two people two answer them (not their full time job description) was not as efficient as it could have been.
