true fact: I work as a commercial/diesel engine mechanic and our shop routinely gets glowing correspondence about how wonderful it is to start an amazon account, take payment through amazon and be an amazon affiliate business. until about six months ago, you could even find a stub landing page on amazon for our "new" store that we never created "coming soon." our attorney was fascinated.

turns out we service so many various amazon contractor fleets and warehouse fork trucks our names somehow made it into the shit filled vortex of amazon.com marketing.
