You keep holding your breath and maybe the price will drop...but I doubt it because "dupes" like me keep paying the price.
Maybe you should take your H2 in and have that squeek looked at???"<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Patriot,
Unless you are the guy at Granatelli's who sets MSRP, I sure didn't intend to make you angry. But, maybe if I had wasted $170 on a product and someone pointed it out to me, I would be angry to? Angry at myself?
As the saying goes about a fool and his money...

Nothing we can do about this? Hardly. We can point out their lousy pricing schemes in Forums like this so people can decide whether they really want to "piss away" their money. If you have already paid the extra price, don't get mad at me - get mad at yourself or even better Granatelli. Or, do as I did when I realized I could have saved about $5,000 on my Hummer by finding a dealer who would have made a GMS deal... I just chalked it up to experience. But, I sure didn't try and defend Hummer dealers who refuse to make GMS deals. Maybe if I would have previously read about how some dealers were doing GMS deals in a forum like this one, I would have been able to save the money? At any rate, an informed public is much better equipped to deal with companies like Granatelli's that practices price gouging. But to condone this type of rip off is NOT any way to make things better. Sure, if you don't care about throwing away a couple hundred bucks at a shot, order a truck load of programmers from the people charging excessively. It's a free country!
Anyone who wants a Predator can, if they do a little work, find it at a reasonable price --- although, the good folks at Granatelli are doing what they can to make it harder. If you work for Granatelli, or any other company that artificially inflates prices on Hummer accessories, I can understand why you would not appreciate my opinion. But, if Hummer owners are shopping for a good programmer at a fair price --- maybe this forum and the messages posted here can save them a couple hundred bucks?
As a "patriot", you must surely appreciate freedom of speach? Or is it freedom to "squeak" as far as you are concerned?
