Here’s a Porsche some of you will hate, just incase you don’t feel like clicking through to the musings of my mind.

So a friend and I have been toying with the idea of starting a website, car related, but have had some serious struggles getting it off the ground. We have a great idea, the skills to do it, but were lacking a brand. Without a brand we have been at a standstill. I recently had an epiphany of epic proportions and the perfect moniker came to me. With our goals in sight and a replenished drive to make this happen I started pulling all the right strings to get the online presence sorted out. Well, as luck would have it all the domain names needed are not used by any legitimate business currently and none of the trademark stuff should be an issue, BUT some domain brokerage currently owns the one I want. I figured something like this would happen and we’re preparing to throw a few hundred out there to secure it, hopefully it won’t be more than that. It is a very good domain name though and I’m honestly quite surprised it isn’t already being used for something. Anyways, the point of this whole ramble is that the brokerage won’t get back to me. I’ve called, I’ve emailed, I’ve waited. No response. How the fudgesicle am I supposed to buy a domain name if they, the company who specializes in selling them, doesn’t even have their poo together enough to answer the phone?
