As an Admin on the Diesel Detailer site, I sent Smokey Valley an email last week and got the following response today:
JAY

OUR WEB SITE WAS PUT UP MANY YEARS AGO AND IS ENCASED IN THE OBSTACLES ESTABLISHED THOSE YEARS BACK , WE SPEND OUR TIME MFGING GOODS. AND TRYING TO KEEP PRICES AND PRODUCTS AFFORDABLE AND AVA. TO THE MODELING PUBLIC.
