BIG props to APE. I think this kind of customer service and the resulting future orders/customers will far outweigh the cost of those two motors.

I really was floored. When I ordered my motor he told me about this guaranteed delivery date but I never thought it would come into play. I am anxious to get my new APE motor in though. Ive heard good things about their work!!

While we don't deliver pizzas, I'd like to think we have something better to offer.

Although a large pep and cheese with cajun crust is a thing of beauty

lucky bastards! Chris called me today and the first thing out of his mouth was "Sorry, you didn't get a free motor. Yours will ship on Friday as planned." I could've really used that $4k too! I haven't called him since I ordered my 408 in hopes that it would slip through the cracks, but I never have and never will win the lottery.

APE rocks!

I'm putting the finishing touches on yours as we speak. It will most deffinitely be ready to leave by your date. Don't feel bad I never win the lottery or anything else for that matter either.

Yeah, all you guys that are getting a high quality motor built and delivered on time for a reasonable cost are really getting screwed over.

Nick and chris, rock on. Im in awe that this is really happening and you guys are actually sticking to this and shipping free motors. damn. I only hope you guys can turn this into an investment. Hopefully word of your top notch service will get alot more people to go ape.
