Just a couple of very lopsided passes at the track:

Damn man, you have like the market cornered on clean, low mileage cars huh? What are you moving on to now? Jeff

IMs = bad. If you have left VMs I will have to get with Michele to see if is getting them or not as she has never told me you have called (which is odd). Jeff

IPS is looking for a few good additions to our sales staff. Position: Online salesperson Requirements: 1) Extensive knowledge of a specific vehicle / platform. 2) Actively online in that vehicles forums / message boards. 3) Ability (time) to deal with orders and questions from customers (IE: responses need to be inside 24 hours) 4) Previous experience / ability to interact with customers and communicate well. 5) Desire to make a lot of money doing something you do already. Contact: sales@ipsmotorsports.net or call the shop at 614-444-5884 and ask for Jeff Payment structure and specifics will be given out to interested parties. Regardless, it is a very easy way to supplement your current income or potentially make a very good amount of money and quit your boring day job.

We will discuss it thru the week and post what we decide will happen prior to friday. IMO it will be one of two things: 1) Shut down completely. 2) Invite-only. Meaning, we will block off every entrance but one and 7 or 8 of us will be there to turn away every single person that isnt on the list.

Lovely...

This weekend I dont think any of us were able to be out except for Tank on friday night. No clue if anyone showed last night other than Greg who was inside working until whatever time. Mike has been on vacation all week and I wasnt able to be down Fri or Sat night this weekend. We will come up with a solid game plan and begin implementing it this week. Jeff

My other idea (vs the no drink / food / smoking thing) was just to have a time-slip or dyno graph ticket stub Even if it was a 13.0 or 300whp that would eliminate 3/4 of the parking lot lol. Jeff

Ok, first off, let me say I do appreciate everyone coming out and the majority of people behaving themselves and just wanting to have a spot to BS and so on. For the most part, we havent had *too* many complaints from the neighbors and police or anything. However, the trash and cigarette butts and gum wrappers in the parking lot is getting wayyyyyy out of hand. Four of us spent over 2 hours this morning picking up the parking lot. I didnt say sweeping, just picking up. There are still 2 million cigarette butts out there that I wont spend all weekend picking up. Its no better or worse then when we have had the garbage cans out. Soooooo. What to do? The simplest solution is for me to just say no food / drink / smoking / gum chewing in the parking lot or you will be asked to leave. Seems a bit harsh but since throwing something away vs throwing it on the ground is too much to ask I think its the only way to effectively "police" it. The smoking thing is just beyond rediculous. I could spend the rest of the day sweeping and not get just the front section (in front of the shop) back to the way it used to be. Items left in the parking lot / grass this morning: 1) Bones / remainder of BWs wings 2) Beer bottles 3) Beer bottle full of piss 4) Red Bull cans 5) McDonalds / White Castle / Burger King wrappers 6) Half a hamburger 7) 2000 cigarett butts 8) Sunflower or something seeds everywhere 9) 500 gum wrappers 10) napkins and assorted paper materials 11) Bottles of Pepsi/Coke/Mt Dew 12) ETC ETC ETC Its getting wayyyy out of hand and soemthing is going to change. For now the simplest new rule is no food / drink / smoking anywhere on the property. If you want to run down to the gas station and buy a pop or or whatever drink it there. Drink it in your car. Drink it down the street. Figure out a way to NOT leave in in the parking lot or you will no longer be here. That simple. Jeff

Anthony, I will get with you in the next day or so but we hope to have a few customer cars out and hopefully Mikes EVO. I will give you a final tally in the next couple days. Jeff

No problem at all. We are glad to have everyone down and things seem to REALLY be picking up. Its nice to have so many "spots" so close and pretty easy access to hop right on the highway if need-be Parking lot clean-up only took about an hour this morning but I would just like to post a reminder to PLEASE use the trash cans we put out in the parking lot. Thanks! Jeff

We will be in with something I am sure Minimally Mikes EVO but Im sure we can round up a few customer cars that are all full street cars. Jeff

If you are looking for the best pricing on NX complete kits or accessory packages shoot me a PM or give me a call at the shop: 614-444-5884. We have done quite a few NX F-bodys that dont run too bad around here Jeff

Just wanted to say Happy B-day to the good Dr. Z06 We had a great time helping celebrate last night / this morning so just wanted to say thanks for the fun. Oh, and we will have a present for you with a big red bow on top very very soon Jeff

I would hope so. Jeff

What did the blurple car finally put down? Jeff

correction noted and recorded the IPS evo is blue with a wing and a carbon fiber hood

Yep, Jason, one of my fabricators/techs drives an 01 S4 Brett (Renner) did his 2.8L T-belt down at the shop not too too long ago and even though it wasnt exactly a 2 hour job, it wasnt THAT bad. $2k seems crazy high IMO. Jeff

Thanks man, I appreciate the post Jeff

You would be surprised how many people agree with me

I would guess that close to 80-85% of our business is based entirely on referals or repeat customers. I was talking with Greg this morning and we scrolled back over 450 invoices to see if I could find a customer that was just "Iffy" or left with a "So-so" kinda feeling for whatever reason and *maybe* found one in terms of service/tuning work. I guess that explains why weve stayed so stupid busy Jeff

Deal! When and Where? I know Joe will be game lol. Just give me a minute to dust the ol girl off since it hasnt moved in almost 8 months and Im all about it Jeff

Thank you! Im very much looking forward to it. The vacation wont be a bad thing either lol. Jeff

Not a single person that has posted in this thread (or any other on here) were called or called here. PM each one individually if you would like to verify that. Jeff

Yep, Saturday is the big day and then a week and a half relaxing in Jamaica Jeff
