Waiting for a year on pre-pay for engines has gotten crazy enough, it's only making people more comfortable with waiting longer for simple weekly projects to be finished and sent back. The guy waited 5 months hock:
How many big companies do that? I would never pre-order with money up front to any company for anything. I think most big companies do like Intermountain and their "pre-orders" are really more like a survey to gauge interest in a model before they spend the money for the die work to put it into production.
It happens in the auto industry a lot, once a company gets big enough (national) they pre-order pre-pay and take a dive
