This thread has been destroyed. Thanks to Matt for posting an idea about how to proceed down the road to avoid these types of situations. Let's take the nasty part of what happened in this thread and focus it in the new one: http://forum.dealerrefresh.com/f5/vendor-bombardment-513.html

Mitchell - congratulations on the new CRM :thumbup: - getting a BIG new project is always fun! I definitely think VinSolutions offers some great pieces to the whole puzzle. I'd like to see you start another thread, after your install, detailing how things are going. It would be really cool if you became the dealer on DealerRefresh with all the VinSolutions answers for the others who may be struggling with a piece of it.

So....come on over to the new thread if you want to discuss the issues that happened over here, and look forward to someone else speaking about VinSolutions in the future :)
