Seems like half the cars they are building anymore end up in Russia. I finally picked up an SL and will probably go the UGR route here in the near future. Did you ever find that CTSV key Good luck with the new build. Matt

Pretty sure Jamie sold his SL.

I have a 07 E63 I would be willing to make you a deal on. 65K range on miles and still under warranty. Probably be looking in the low $30K range if interested.

+1 This was the first year we headed up there and it was a blast. More cars than you can imagine.

On my business more than in my business. The number one thing for any successful business is building the right team. We are very fortunate to be surrounded by great people and when I'm in the business I just screw shit up anymore lol. Not a fan of the beach, I like to dabble in other ventures so I spend most of my free time doing that. Columbus is an interesting market for Dunkin. I think they learned a few lessons back in 2008. Interesting business model in general from my experience.

Not trying to bust your balls or anything but Dunkin is a one of the brands my company operates. 15 unit deals are not the standard. Things may have been different back in 2008 and I'm familiar with the deal you referenced. Dunkin definitely has build out cost challenges but an inline store can be built for right around 400K. Equipment package is 200K.

Hey guys, I can give you a little background on my experience. I primarily operate Subway franchises and have both purchased existing locations and built new stores. You are looking at about $180-220K to open a store. This includes all equipment, franchise fee, leasehold improvements, inventory, etc. If you can find a space that has already been improved that will reduce your cost a little. The bad thing is there really isn’t much opportunity to build new Subway locations in this market. The other option is to buy an existing store. This is how I got started and I would say it’s a more conservative approach. I would suggest focusing on locations (not necessarily Subway) that are underperforming and have potential. Just like the stock market, you don’t want to buy a business at its peak. The Subway brand in general carries a much higher value than other restaurant businesses on the market as well. More established brands that are high in demand (MCD for example) will do this and it makes it very challenging to get your foot in the door. My advice is to not worry about the required liquid assets, net worth, etc. to much. Franchisors set guidelines to eliminate a certain amount of people. They are not interested in dealing with tire kickers all day so they put these figures in place. I can tell you they are not hard fast requirements. You do not need to have $1M in the bank to open a Dunkin. You don’t even need to have $250K. The franchisor is more concerned with seeing that you are financially stable enough to support the business and have a good business plan to move forward with. If you have the required liquidity that’s great, it will make things a little easier. A typically QSR (quick service restaurant) is going to cost between $200-400K to open (not including real estate purchase). New brands are great to focus on but keep in mind that once you open a location you can also capitalize on the back end of the deal. Joe’s Hamburgers is not going to carry the same value as a Subway. Keep that in mind when purchasing an existing business as well. If you ever need to get out it will be much easier doing so with a well known and trusted brand. I would highly recommend anyone looking to get into the restaurant business to get experience, preferably with the brand you are looking to invest in. Find out if the business is right for you and see if it’s something you can live with. I think a lot of people have the dream but sometimes underestimate how time consuming and how much of a pain in the ass it can be. Any questions just lmk. I’m just scratching the surface here and could probably write a book LOL. I’m happy to share what info I can and glad to help though. Matt

You drive to fast. Slow down I live on Brandon.

Hey Scott, very nice collection you have there and welcome to CR. I think I've seen you a few times lately running around in the UGR TT. We might be in the same neighborhood. Anyways, would love to check it out sometime and hope to see you around. Matt

A member on another forum put it best. As for David Wiggins and his Murcielago SV build, you can compare that to the wanna be DIY-er. Wife: Are you sure you can handle remodeling the kitchen? Husband: Yeah sure, saw a video on YouTube. I got it honey. Next thing you know, the kitchen has been demolished, there's no fridge, no range, no sink, no dishwasher. You're staring at a bare sub-floor. Four months pass, and you've been eating hot pockets out of a microwave you relocated to the garage. Wife: Babe, I know you tried to do the remodeling yourself, but I think it's too much for just one person. I think we should hire a general contractor. Husband: Not a chance, I'm starting my own construction company. Simply put, this guy is a joke. He obviously feels he has something to prove and will do what ever he can to get attention from others. The guy has been trolling forums for years claiming he's going to do this or that. All a bunch of BS. This is what happens when you get a trust fund baby with a big head who thinks he needs to prove himself. At some point hopefully he will learn that its not about how much money you have in the bank or how many cars you have, its how you can positively impact the people around you. As I said before, I think you would be amazed at how accepting people would be of you and your projects if you were a little more humble. You seem to have the ability to get your hands on toys most people would dream of seeing let alone owning. Embrace that fact and quit acting like it makes you any better/smarter than the members on this board or others.

What horrible news.

Wiggs, I don’t post on the forums much but I have to say some of the shit that comes out of your mouth is just pathetic. I have been a long time member on numerous forums (CR, 6speed, LP, etc.) and it seems like every time I log in I see you going at it with someone, or everyone for that matter. Having the ability to acquire some of the cars you have is a dream to most. Instead of constantly trying to belittle people and talk down to everyone maybe you should try to think a little more positively. Understand that when you come on a forum and start making claims your going to have people calling bullshit. Just like over on LP, right. Maybe it would be best to share your thoughts with people instead of always thinking your way is the only way and the best way. You would be surprised how far that would go and how much more respect your peers will have for you.

Wiggs, good luck with the car man. Awesome machine and glad to see people pushing the limits. Both cars are badass and I’m sure it will be interesting to line them up. I’ve seen Jamie’s car in action and the car is flat out sick. With that type of power I would think AWD would come in to play but the few video’s I’ve seen of the UGR cars, they are spinning all 4 anyways. Would be interesting to see the outcome from a 60 roll instead of a 100 though.

Pretty sure Jamie's car is a Stage I R, he can confirm though. Sounds like it was a blast down there.

+1 I think that's a stage III race

The key is finding out how much the first lien holder is owed. You can do this by pulling the complaint at the courthouse. Keep in mind some of these cases can go back a couple years so after adding attorney's fees, interest, and penalties it can be a much higher number. Make sure everyone having an interest in the property is listed in the complaint. You don't want to deal with another lien holder having an interest that was not sent a notice. You can check this on the Franklin County Recorders site. A majority of the deposits are 10% and they typically require certified check. The first thing I would recommend is checking the recorders site to see how much the first mortgage on the property is for. Best case scenario you find a home that was either purchased 10+ years ago and they beat the mortgage down or find someone who did an 80/10 or similar with a recent purchase. Good luck!

$500 deductible.

Those rates are ridiculous. I'm around $1200/yr for full coverage for the three cars to the left with Erie.

Hey Shawn, give these guys a call. www.intercitylines.com

Dude looks like he's trying to shit his pants everytime he gets on the gas

LOL, I was right behind this car the other day as well.

+1 on LVS. Easy 10-20%+ return everytime it goes below $40. I was playing around with it back in the $2-10 range, sure wish I would have stayed in it.

John, come over and we will take the GT2 out for a spin. Maybe give you a second opinion of the Porsche and also give you an idea what they feel like modded. I don’t think you can go wrong with either car though.
