You're gonna say that in an interview, LET ALONE not ask it to be edited or redacted before going to press? Not one person I know would do that where I work (Microsoft), let alone a general manager.


In contrast, I will say Alex kept his point and kept on message without coming off negatively.

Lastly... Please don't assume that you folks have knowledge of me, or over me, as I wouldn't do the same of you. I've been into cars since before many people on this forum had a license at all.
I've been an INSTRUCTOR for HPDE for 2+ years and have been doing track days for 6+. I've raced on Rotas, CCWs, BBS, TSWs, and a handful of knockoffs, etc. I've seen the good bad, and ugly. Of my experience I will say this... I think wheels that are 600+ per wheel ARE overpriced. Especially when TSW can make a rotary forged wheel that's light, durable, looks good, original, and fit all the requirements and then some of any engineering standard ... but cost $200-300 a wheel. TO BE CLEAR. I'm not saying Mackin or Enkei doesn't make quality wheels. I'm saying I believe a lot of Volk, gram light, etc is overpriced. Enkei actually is pretty reasonable.
Two different markets for Microsoft and a wheel maker aimed at the youth market. He spoke in a way that his core market understands and speaks.

This was in a tuner magazine, not fortune.
