  1. They used to do all the work for Germain Lexus Of Dublin when I worked there.They will do a great job and the owner Dave is a great guy.
  2. I went down in dirt playing around on my dirt bike when i was young.Lesson learned real quick!Welcome anyways.
  3. That's great!That is a great site also.I frequent that and Yotatech.
  4. Yea,when I was working for Mercedes just an oil change was $150.00.People would freak out but 10 qts of full synthetic can be costly then add in filter and labor.We sold an S500 engine (he hydrolocked it) and Mercedes list was $25,000.00!
  5. +1. I can't imagine pulling out a Mercedes V12 (if it was truly a "600") and putting in a Chevy van motor.I know the HP potential and cost of upgrades was in his/her mind,but still.When I worked for Mercedes we sold so many "600" and "V12" emblems for the people that had "300" and "500"s and wanted to upgrade!
  6. Very rare and definitely not an ugly car when they came out but I'm an 80's guy.I remember seeing one in town out at Parr Medical Supplies all the time.There was an SVO there before that.
  7. My wife and I actually onwned 2 when we first got married in 1993.Great little cars with 0 problems and great service.
  8. If I get good service they get a good tip.If I get poor service they are lucky to get a tip.As far a Pizza drivers go if I pay a delivery charge the driver does not get a tip.I think the driver should be paid well if the place is charging a delivery fee.If I don't pay a chrge the driver gets a couple of bucks or more depending on what I got and how quick they were.
  9. That cars meant to be a giant Diecast Car.Just put it in the collection and look at it.The guy that buys that,as already stated,has other GN's and a 7 sec turbo Regal if he wants to go fast.He just puts that there beside his other collectible cars.Bragging rights with the friends.
  10. My business allows me to be around cars and shops Monday -friday for 8 hours a day.I run across everything from an original model A,34 Dodge with 6.1 EFI Hemi,Bentleys,Lambos to a guy with a GNX,2 GN's and a T-Type so I get my fill during the week.On the weekends and evenings I like to spend time with my wife and 3 kids.I am definitely not obsessed like I used to be,
  11. I sprayed a 2.8 Fiero GT with an 80 shot for 50k mile with only 1 hiccup.(I replaced the plugs,intake tube and air filter) and expected it to blow but it never happened.I wanted to do a V8 swap.
  12. That's how I like to sell big dollar items.I did sell some differentials from a 4runner to a guy in Washington the State for $500.00 plus freight.We used Paypal but I made some money on freight to make up the charge.He was fine with letting the charges go through and of course he signed for the packages when I shipped them UPS.That was about the limit,money wise,on what I would do in a transaction like that.Everything else in cash in hand.I had a guy ask me if he could make payments one time and I said yes 1 payment of the total amount.He didn't think it was funny but he got the point.
  13. I remember them when they were new and the Explorers.I didn't think they made many of them at all.I also remember a Saleen SSC brand new at the Ford Dealership and the Shogun Festiva.
  14. I'm a Christian and I'll beat you 100-0 if I get a chance and I won't apologize.I got it let's stop keeping score so no ones feelings get hurt.You don't want beat 100-0?Practice!
  15. That's hilarious! What about a car wash.I don't know how much money they make but they are popping up EVERYWHERE so they have got to be profitable.
  16. I'm gonna hear it for this and I am a die hard Toyota person.I am getting bored with Supras,I would keep the RX7.I also know waht it's like to have a car and get bored with it and get something else just for the change.
  17. He has as much experience as Obama.jk!
  18. I knew a guy that got busted for doing that at a couple of Dealerships here in town.He was a nice guy just had a slight problem.He was a delivery driver at one of the Dealerships I worked for and we played basketball a few times until he got busted.
  19. I doubt it he always has tons of work.He has done some work for my parents and does a very good job.I met him a few times and he has an GTO (66 or 67) that wins a bunch of shows around town.My parents were actually going to take their Camaro Cvt over to drop it off for some work on the top but the alt. took a crap.
  20. I would look for something like this. http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/997292258.html
  21. He could offer $5000.00 and he's not seeing that car again.Whoever took that new what they were doing and it is either in pieces as already stated or shipped out of State.
  22. I remember in 88 or 89 running into one of those in Indy with IROC rims and the GN motor in it.I liked it better than that.
