    First off, thank you for your service!

    Second off, customs sucks.

    Based on everything you have said I don’t see the need to have your company in the title of this thread. That’s my opinion. I do think our thread does show that although you consulted with Nathan, he isn’t apart of your company (based on what you have said).

    Again, my worries for this thread is more about customer service versus business decisions. Customer gets goods in exchange for money. The issue is your business consultant is bad at customer service. This is the problem many people have been having. HOWEVER You have indicated the internal changes are being made which I understand you aren’t at liberty to say.

    Again, appreciate you coming on in here. Believe the thread has had great discussion which will allow people to decide to use your company or not. People have their opinions and as adults they can do as they please.

    Edit: I have changed the poll so you can edit your vote if you would like.

    I won't give a name as they private messaged me.

    When it was posted that it may be his company I posted warning people that it looks to be Nathan so be careful with ordering from the company. After that someone messaged saying it was Nathan. That Nathan approached them with the idea, they thought about it and then chose not to because they knew Nathan's reputation and didn't want to get involved. They confirmed it was two people but didn't know it was you. All they knew was Nathan was asking if they wanted to partner with it.

    I've removed all post because you cleared it up its not him. The initial 'confirmation' was as I said.

    And @TNOACO you have to understand the reason we're all saying we don't trust you etc is because you defended Nathan saying core was ever a good company.

    As Tony mentioned he didn't just have a company that started to go sour he did it twice. The first time was small so it went away then it got way worse.

    You have to understand when it came out it was actually from Tony and a few other of us here. I know you know Tim from true north Tacoma, he originally defended Nathan and the other guy that used to run that page saying oh we're just being bitter etc. But it was us 'being bitter' that had so many others start speaking up how he's fucked them over to the point Tim finally changed his mind. Like Tony mentioned the only reason Nathan isn't doing this still is because we all brought this out and had the police case start against him.

    So saying core was ever a good company really worries people that you may base some of your business on his platform.


    And whatever you do, make Nathan understand your company should not be coming out of his mouth because he is the worst advertisement you can have. And it was his approaching of someone else to partner and pictures of his truck on your Instagram that had this be connected to your company

    @TNOACO I think it's fair to say that you seem legit and I hope you do well, really do. Having a really good business like yours close to home is awesome.
    Love to see people succeed in whatever they do and I hope one day down the road we can all meet up and wheel together.:thumbsup:
    Since you won't say how much he took from you, would you share what was involved at least? No need for details just ballpark.

    Greg,

    I'm not going to write a novel to justify your definition of an "adult conversation"

    Any association at all with Nathan is detrimental to your business regardless of your reasoning. Simple.

    To claim CORE was successful is laughable. It was a failure from the start, just like his fiberglass business that he ran out of a rented home that he defaulted rent on, and then defaulted on his only employees paychecks. Or did he even tell you about that? Or what about the body kits he was making for the drift community, and the amount of people he took for money there and aren't even represented in this thread? Did he tell you about that? This goes much deeper than C.O.R.E.

    It is your choice to associate with such a low life, and it will be our choice to never do business with, or recommend your business.

    Im not going to ask you to justify what i consider adult conversation , however i can see from the tone of your words your incredible bitter , and thats ok. i don't blame you. And your right! it is your choice as an individual to choose whether you want to do business with or recommend my business or not. i am not here asking for your business or begging. Ultimately its your choice. And as harsh as it is , im not going to lose sleep over it.

    As i said before i have done and am continuing to do some internal changes to reflect my consumers . I simply came here to clear up fact from Fiction , and i have done that. And i appreciate that the community here as understood that. Aside from that i hope one day things will be different.

    Have a good day

    You're exactly right about that.
    I find it hard to believe that after he ripped you off that you would still "do business" wuth him. I'm trying to figure that one out. Must be good friends I'm thinking.

    Considering the facts, I do believe the company only consulted with core....I don’t want to put misinformation in this thread. Thought/suggestions on title.

    I think we leave it as is for now. I'm sure we will hear if things get shady and we can always change the title.

    Simple as this, for my self, if you are near Nathan, I will never make business with you...He his a bad person and if you want to learn from him or take advice from him, too bad you gone a be on my black list!!! Nathan don't have any good aptitudes to share ! You can just learn bad thing!

    My own opinion!
