At 9:30 yesterday morning, I was let go from my job, as many of us have been. For the last 10 years, I ran the Hondacuraworld websites, which are now closed.

Seems that the economy was too much for us, and the decision was made to get out of the internet business. It's as much of a shock to me as it is to you, probably moreso.

I'm not sure where to go from here, honestly. Ray was a great guy to work for, for the last 10 years. I'm still at kind of a loss for words, friends.

One thing that I will ask, for those of you that have known me over the years......is a simple letter of recommendation. My email and IM is steelytim71@aol.com, I'd appreciate staying in touch. Bear in mind that as far as parts, prices, who to contact, where's my parts, etc......that I can't be of any help with.

But, hey, I'm still around.....I'd welcome communications on email or on facebook.......just look up Tim Poliniak.

I loves you guys.....

 

awww..that blows tim. Good luck...I know a lot of good people out of work, I hope things pick up soon. I was JUST considering ordering Aspec kit from you too...lol.
Oh well. Good luck man.

 

Big bummer, Tim. I know we're all going to miss you. Not only the good deals you made us, but also all the help you provided.

Good luck to you and I hope things work out.

I'll send you an email with a recomendation.

 

That really sucks Tim. You know Ill keep in touch. Ill be sure to write up a letter for you

 

Sorry to hear, Tim...

Best wishes in the future.

 

Sorry to hear about that Tim. You were always my first choice for parts. Thanks for all the help throughout the years! Good luck!

Sorry to hear about your situation, sounds like it's just bad luck and was totally beyond your control. It does seem odd that they are just closing their online division, I could see making some changes, but giving up on the web is like throwing in the towel completely, at least as I see it. The web provides nearly unlimited potential to grow, market and change your business with minimal investment financially.

Good luck and if there is anything the community can do I'm sure they will, this is where this forum shines! Take some time to lick your wounds, and then get back into the game with more ferocity and energy then ever before, this will not kill you, turn it into the opportunity you never knew existed.

 

Ahhh, Tim, horrible news!
Let us know how else we can help.

You've been great to this forum, and I know there are many people who will be upset by this news.

 

I'm sorry to hear that Tim. I didn't believe it at first when I saw it on your FB page yesterday. Good luck.

 

Wow Tim, didn't think this would happen to you. I know you told me about the other dealers. I will work on typing up a letter for you. I hope you find a new job soon, maybe even at another Acura/Honda dealer. Keep in touch buddy.

 

Wow, so sorry to hear this Tim. You were always the man to get us the right stuff for our cars. I wish you luck in this economy.

 

Very sorry to hear. I truly hope things improve for you shortly.

Sorry to hear. Hondaacuraworld has been great to so many people on this forum and they all, including myself, should be very grateful of what you have done.

 

Very sorry to hear about this Tim as we all on Acurazine will miss your services. Im a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and im sure you will find that reason soon.

 

Tim, you have been a great person everytime I've called you and helped everyone out on the forums so much. It's very disheartening to be let go, but everything happens for the better in life. Keep you head up and the best will always happen!

 

 

You were always helpful and a great asset to our forum from your services.

Good luck Tim, hope you stick around.

 

Oh man... Sorry to hear Tim...

I wasn't able to order parts from you, but it was very nice chatting with you and getting some advice. Thanks for all your help to the Acura and Honda community.... we'll miss you. I really hope things turn around for you very soon.

 

You saved me a boat load on my warranty and I appreciated that... Sad to see you go. Good luck with your next chapter.

 

Tim, thx for all the a-spec part hookups!!!

...you were always there for us.

checkout Subaru...one of the few car companies that have actually been posting gains in this economy.

Peace!

 

Hey Tim, I am so sorry this had to happen to you. As a several-time customer and as a presence on our site, you have been helpful.

I am hopeful that you will land on your feet. Will also work on a letter for you.

 

That really sucks man. I am sorry. I was looking so forward to buying an A-Spec kit from you, but I guess not anymore...

 

Tim, I am SO sorry to hear this news. I can't believe Ray is getting out of the internet business.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that you'll be able find a new job VERY quickly.

Use ACURAZINE as a reference!

 

Tim, don't know you but a lot of good people here are wishing you the best, and so will I.

PM me and let me know what computer certifications you have and I may be able to point you in the right direction.

 

Wow! I would have never thought this would happen! Throughout the forum you always see your name when asked where to get good OEM parts and to hear that hondacuraworld is no more really saddens me .What are we supposed to do now? Tim, I only bought a few parts from you in the past and probably never had more than a few conversations with you at the most but the business I did do with you was always top notch. I too have felt the hardships of this economy and I wish nothing but the best for you, good luck and I hope you find a job quickly!

 

Wow, this was unexpected, your name was commonplace around the forums. I always saw group buys for those aspec-kits.

Have you considered going back into the business of selling parts but expanding to other automotive brands, just because Acura/Honda might be a small market which will be tough to sustain a reasonable profit.

 

oh no... Tim - you have always been helpful to me whenever I called you. I am sure that with you skills and absolute stellar customer service, you will be able to land somewhere else on your feet. I will get you a letter soon...

 

Tim I'm so sorry to hear man! I JUST PM'ed you last week about getting the front A-Spec lip

Please stay here on Acurazine with us!

Good luck getting yourself a new job

 

Tim....Your extended warranty on my 06 RL gives me 4 more years to say 'thank you'. I wish you well...

 

So sorry to hear the bad news. Your customer relations are the best around. Good luck with your next endeavor.

 

sad day, i was planing to buy a rear type-s lip , but now i guess i got pay more for it from delray acura =(, good luck Tim,hope u find a new job soon

 

Tim - thanks for all of your hard work and dedication to this forum. I have ordered parts from you, and each time it was smooth sailing and extremely fast shipping! You are great with customer service, and I wish you the best with everything.

 

Tim, really sorry to hear what happened. You sir are a class act.
Heres hoping something better will turn up soon.

 

That kind of sucks, I am sure you were making money too. All works out for the better, I just purchased my side skirts from you and the service was phenomenal.

BTW - to the OP below me, I am sure hyundai is doing well too.

Also tim, use this page as a letter of recommendation!! We are all witnesses to your professional business skills.

 

GL to you Tim. I purchased an extended warranty from you and you couldn't have been any nicer.

 

Tim,
So sorry to hear about you losing your job. As others have stated you are a class act - very very helpful, honest, fair and quick with a return email with questions answered. Ray L. has lost an important asset - you. Will write you a recommendation. Good luck in your job search and stay positive.

 

I am sad to see you go but I wish you good luck on your future endevours. Like previously stated, your name and website were very commonplace here on the forum. Thank you for all you have done for the AcuraZine Community.

 

Wow, that sucks. Both you and the website will be missed. Good luck with whatever you do next.

 

Man that blows Tim. I wish you the very best with your job search buddy. You were always professional and helpful with my many questions. Thanks to you I got a chance to get all my stock mods at a killer deal. Thanks again and keep your head up buddy. Don't be a stranger to the boards either.

 

Tim, so sorry to hear. You have truly been an asset to this forum. Please let me know if I can be of any help.
